What is "low ball"
Granted, you could get it for a bit less, probably, when new. Say 10%. I put it at $1400. No paypal fees, free shipping. One year warranty. I get an offer of $400$ Is that a lowball offer? I'd say. Is it insulting? To me, yes. Anyone that wants to... 
What is "low ball"
Chadnilz, sorry, I was referring to Polk.I should have said he is a professional highballer for his sales, and a professional lowballer when buying.

01-29-12: Polk432Chadnliz, there's nothing wrong with a good deal that benefits the buyer and seller, but I didn't retire at 49 by letting people walk all over me when I made sales.In other words, your a "professional lowballer".

MA2275 Issue need some advice
It would seem odd for two tubes to have a bad side. Those two phono tubes are like a spare pair of used tubes, when using them in the other inputs like CD. It still might be worth trying a couple of new 12AX7s. All the other tubes should change th... 
MA2275 Issue need some advice
I should clarify. Section B of V4 and V5 tubes are for the left channel. Section A of V4 and V5 are for the right channel in these phono tubes. Section A of V6 and V7, tubes is for the left channel. Section B of V6 and V7, is for the right channel... 
MA2275 Issue need some advice
The center tubes (V5 to V7) aren't mirrored on top of the chassis, meaning the two on the left Correction: Should have wrote (V4 to V7)... 
MA2275 Issue need some advice
I hope your using other inputs than phono also. And, if it did the same with other inputs, the above would have worked. Otherwise it could be a bad gain, or phono tube if you just used phono in. 
MA2275 Issue need some advice
Someone else may want to check this to make sure. When I read a schematic like this (lot of parts) from a pdf reader, I get eye fatigue.Anyway the way I can see is the V4 and V5 are for the phono. They share the left and right half in each individ... 
Ungrounded power cord: Will I die?
I'm guessing if they have a ground there, it is for a reason.Someone above mentioned it will ground through the interconnects to your other components, and this is not necessarily true. Some equipment has the interconnects isolated from the metal ... 
Anyone Using Four Subs In A Home Theater?
With a big room, try them in a corner to get the most out of them. 
Converting cables to ICs
I don't think it would be worth the try. The lack of shielding will leave them open for RF interference from transmitters, plus other noise around the house. Try component video cables that you may have around, and not using anymore. They are usua... 
Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
Out of the brands mentioned, this is how I'd categorize them in general. The MAC that has output coupling transformers (Autoformers) have highs that can be too mellow or soft sounding, in comparison to a neutral amp. Krell can be at the opposite e... 
Power switch substitution for Marantz 2270
That switch on Fleabay may not be a perfect fit. There is a repair site that shows what appears to be the same universal switch. The hole spacing may be different, and the shaft part that the knob/button slides on also. You may have to do some mod...
