PayPal Sucks.. Be careful, new Policies
It has always been PayPal’s mode to pull the full amount out of a checking account if the current balance can’t support the refund or other crediting issue. Even by $.01. I went through the same thing. Regarding the fee, not sure about that. I wou... 
cost no object integrated amps
Give the Ypsilon a hard look. A friend has a full Ypsilon system that is mind blowing. If the Phaethon is in that realm (I’m sure it is) it would be stellar. 
“BLOCK” Function?

Want to setup basic home audio system
@diripio, I purchased the B&W’s brand new, a few years ago. Never had any issues what-so-ever. For what they are, they sound great. You could probably step that up to the 603 within your budget. I didn’t get them as the 602’s were originally s...

I went from separates, back to an int... I wasn’t sure what I wanted and I had a budge of about 6-7k... tubes were impractical due to setup realities, so the line up was Luxman, Krell, Naim, and a few others. I have difficult speakers to drive so ... 
It’s a pleasure.
Yep! 
Why so many Hegel's for sale?
Well, there are 10 total units for sale on Agon... a few weeks ago, not even that many. Perhaps a timing thing? I have an H390 and it’s great. Best integrated I’ve had for the $$$. I would think the prices you see now won’t change much, so dive in...
