I like the Mapleshade boards and brass  
Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?)
I agree, that's why I think if the new owner is not particularly interested in vintage electronics, it might be best to make an easy quick $150 and not deal with all the issues of repair, refurb, sale, shipping...if the new owner likes vintage gea...

and cost way more than $200 to have the work done, not to mention whatever repair it needs...My Yamaha CA-810 cost $350 for a partial refurb 10 years ago...again, I love the SA-9100 but if the owner is simply looking to turn a profit...

the ad said caps and transistors replaced..I have no way to know...agree it's a great piece, I have one...to fix up to use and enjoy is great, but as a money maker not so sure the time and effort worth the small potential return.  I am well aware ... 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
better recordings would be great, but $100k won't touch that at all...

but would properly a chosen $100k cable system  not make a 7 figure system in a dedicated architecturally designed room sound better?  I sure don't know...

I read Dave Wilson set it up in his home...ask Dave :)

didn't mean to downplay the great charitable work of Gates...but good people have very expensive toys when they're super wealthy 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
I read long ago that Gates had a Wilson Wamm system...bet he used some pretty good cables...sure has a nice house...I was outraged the first time I compared interconnects and liked the $150 Museatex more than the $15 Signet...

I'm sure they get a good discount as part of a seven figure system and room rebuild 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
 I have never compared cables on a $100k+ amp or $100k+ speakers...I have never heard a system that expensive...I sort of assume that for those who spend $!00k on cables, that that is relative pocket change to them...

they don't have to justify and they probably sell very few $100k cabling systems 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
though I sure see many many more seven figure cars than music systems

$100k cabling for a 7 figure system and room might be a good fit if well matched. As to the societal ethics of seven figure systems...though many would say the same for $2700 cables and Raidho, Quad, Carver, Bedini in one home...
