Whoa Ed, who pissed in your Cornflakes? I asked AudioGon several times to allow us to upload pics for inclusion in ads, and they made the change. The ads are much better now that there's a pic to gander at. AudioGon may not always move fast but th... 
What is a good amp for my ML Aerius I's.
ML's are current hogs, I'd suggest you consider Classe. Along with a tubed preamp and the right wires you have a marriage made in heaven. Jeff

Edesilva,Even when you list the price as firm, you get the lowballers, they don't discriminate. My suggestion would hopefully eliminate a lot of back and forth on price, and yes, frustration. I'm of the opinion the auctions are there to allow the ... 
Dion's new CD crashing party for some users
Sean, I agree the woman has a striking resemblance to Lassie, she married a dude her dad's age (probably cuz she looks like a Collie, can't be too choosy), and her songs are lame beyond belief. But...what happens if one of your favourite bands rel... 
Suggested NEW CATEGORIES
Vintage would appeal to many, table radios much less so. An analogue section would be great too. I'd like to see a whole different category added to the Classifieds, a place where you can place your items for sale at a fixed price with a "no haggl... 
Dion's new CD crashing party for some users
Vote with your wallets folks. You have the right to listen to a CD you bought in your computer, car, home stereo, portable CDP, etc. You also have the right to make personal copies of music you purchased. You have your rights and nobody, including...

Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits?
A topic I'm VERY passionate about. Craig, you bought the music so you own the material and are entitled to make copies for personal use. I'm in the same camp; I will NEVER download from the 'net, nor will I ever make copies of music lent to me. I ... 
OK to place amp on top of subwoofer?
The vibrations would destroy the music and your amp! Any less-than-perfect solder joints or wire connections in the amp will be effected and lead to early failure. Read the threads here on vibration control, many of us go to great lengths to decou... 
Who know source for Meitner 101 mono amps scheme?
Sent you an email with a contact, that should solve your problems. 
Bat with non balanced pramps?
My BAT VK30 doesn't look too offensive to me, neither does my BAT VK500 amp. Rather handsome IMHO. I absolutely love BAT products. Now, why do they use those f%#%g hex screws? What a pain in the neck to remove 'em when you wanna roll your tubes. T... 
Supplied equipment feet or cones ,etc?
Replace your stock feet with EAR, they screw in just like your OEM feet and I really like the subtle change in sound. Slightly less edge, little more PRAT. 
do you need to tweak a tape deck???
It's your duty to tweak everything, nothing escapes being fiddled with for the greater good. If you're convinced there's no benefit to changing your set up you have become complacent and satisfied with your system! Yikes. Now, if someone can expla... 
Personal speaker evolution
Sean, that's painful. You drank the Bose Koolaid eh? Glad to see you climbed out of the rut and came over from the dark side. Betcha those Bose speakers burn great though! 
Can we use TUBE PREAMP with SS AMP ?
Grandpad, for reasons completely unexplicable I've found single ended interconnects from preamp to amp make excellent antennas. I had an annoying low level hum I just could not get rid of, switched to balanced cable, sweet silence! What a revelati...
