That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For
Hello,  For me it was ditching my PS Audio 300 watt monoblocks.  They couldn't control my MARTIN LOGAN ESL woofers.  I thought the muddy bass was a room problem, them I switched to a D-Sonic amp and Voila!  Clean right bass. Transformational.  
Weakest link in my system
Two subwoofers.  One minimum.  
What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from?
A Manley Labs Chinook phono preamp for half price from Turkey.  It was only 3 months old.  I had to solder the power supply to USA standards of 110-120V (60 Hz).  When I wrote Manley asking for schematics EvaAnna sent them right over and told me h...

Hello, all this talk about a new tonearm is very interesting.  I have a different suggestion.  I owned a VPI classic turntable for years.  One day the unipivot pushed me TOO far.  After futzing with the turntable for years I put it up for sale.  T... 
How many people here generally buy used?
It's rare for me to purchase used equipment.   The predominance of my system was purchased refurbished or close out.  Like new at 1/3 less sometimes 1/2 price.  8 speakers,  pre/ pro (twice),  turntable,  and power plant.

VPI 3D arm
Wow, why didn't I think of that?  Oh, that's right, I remember now.  I did.  It's not a stock item.  Once again, nice try.

Hey, we are getting so close to them shipping......  It's only been 1 1/2 weeks and counting to ship a 1 pound package.  It could happen!

I am excited about using my 3d arm though, presuming VPI can get the owner to approve a shipping ticket...........

Yes, you are correct.  It's actually that the damping well interferes with the 3d arm.
