Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on??
Don't forget Dave aka A'goN member ddarch44.  He buys, restores and resells all manner of vintage Thorens tables.  I sold him my treasured TD125 several years ago and now I wished I had kept it and let him do the restoration instead.  He does very... 
The one component that you wish you had not bought
Focal Micro Utopia Be.  But for a very different reason.  Because it was like a stake through the heart when I was forced to sell them several years ago.  I hope to get them back someday before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Whatever happened to YBA?
They are still being distibuted in the US by Audio Plus Services in Champlain, NY; I work for a dealer in SW Florida but we haven't ordered any YBA stuff in awhile, which is a shame because the stuff is awesome. 2-channel is kinda dead in our neck... 
Cable Elevators killed my bass
Foster_9, they've had plenty of time to re-settle since I did this a week ago so I dunno but I hear you.

Cable Elevators killed my bass
