You are right Storyboy, these are exceptions and not the rule. I think those of us with much feedback felt like we had to defend ourselves from Mrjstark's allegations.This is all way off track and unnecessary though.Happy Holidays,John 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

I agree with Viridian. I've never had any problems with sellers with high feedback. I've only had two 'problems', both related to a large discrepancy in the items description. Both sellers had less than 25 transactions on AudiogoN.Maybe it just al...

Stand out phono stages
Pedrillo, you will never find any one item, be it preamp, amp, speaker, cables, whatever that will outshine all others. Everything has it's plusses and minuses, that's just the way it is. If one item was all things to all people, then all the othe...

Amazing James Randi?
Pbb: You piss and moan like a whore in church. Does that aid with you objective low-end status quo? Why don't you go whine to someone else, I'm tired of listening to you already. Are you still fuming from "the paradox of accurate speakers" thread?...

Balanced outputs vs balanced design

Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons
Wow! Wilson has been busy! I knew he recently released the M-200, but I didn't know about the M-300. I just Google'd it, I'll bet it sounds great! Congrats!John
