Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Good for you!It is too bad that a few bad apples spoil the Ebay.Unlike ebm, I have had only 2 bad experiences on Ebay in over 17 years (including the episode I described in a previous post).Bob

Thanks for posting Dan. I called Mark and left a message regarding my Deep Core's and cables.B 
Streaming Music and being able to keep them as your personel files
I think Murfie Music is what the OP is looking for.You buy or sell music you want/own. They also offer digitizing service for CD's and LP's.Bob 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Like the OP, I too got tricked by an Ebay seller. Yes, the photo showed the damage, but it was not a clear photo, and it wasn't pointed out in the listing. The seller was a total a**hole, saying I didn't do my due diligence.True, perhaps. But when...

Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
@douglas_schroeder ,But, you have to admit the Vandersteen line is very well priced, considering how much quality sound they put out.B 
Leave preamp on all day, off at night
Tubes should warm up in an hour or so.So, I would turn everything off when done for the day.B 
Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
@OP, I am glad you like the new Vandie's. They really are a leap ahead of the 2's and 3's.I know the Treo CT's are really super, but I bought ctsooners, Treo's (non-CT), and have no qualms. If I could afford the CT's I would do it in a heartbeat.M... 
Is time coherence more important than dynamics: Gallo versus Green Mountain
I have always favored time/phase aligned speakers. For some reason, they always sound 'right' to my ears.B 
Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up?
I contacted PS Audio about looking at my old 4.5 preamp. They said it was too old and parts were not available.Still it wouldn't hurt to call...Bob 
Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands
Not to beat a dead horse...When I was trading watches, I always had the seller provide references before wiring funds.Sorry this has happened to you.B
