Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin.
n80,I completely understand your feelings and am, pretty much, the same. I still use the turntable my father bought for me in early 1980s and the biggest reason is that it is "my" turntable I cherished when planning to buy it and ever since. Every...

What to do when the preamp you were ripped off on shows up online ?
The dealer who frequently has used McIntosh is also Lyric in New York. I have no idea if they have one right now, but it may not hurt to ask. They are overall legitimate brick-and-mortar store (212) 439-1900 lyricusa.com. Just avoid going in there...

In your case, buying used but well-maintained equipment will virtually double your budget. Just as tomcarr said above (good analogy to underwear, I will have to remember that one).Now, what equipment to buy is more difficult to decide. At least fo... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
