Loading times / problems on Agon ???
I too have noticed this in the past week and a half..felt like i was using a Dial Up service again, vs DSL 
Speakers you regret selling
I would have to agree with you, Ive owned the Acoustic Energy 1 and 2s, and regret getting rid of both...actually the 2s got toasted due to a bad amp. add to the list, Stax F81s ELS....a midrange to die for. 
used when promised new
WmMcmanus hit it on the head. New is New, not opened, if it touched the other end of a component and had a signal put throught it, it is used. "Practically new, used 5 mins"....I would handle it this way...what does the cable cost new? With cables... 
Can "Mullard" tubes be labeled as RCA, GE, etc?
for the 5ar4, if they are real Mullards, look inside the glass and the inner plates should look like a razor blade and yes, they can be labeled GE and RCA, and they will always be made in Gt Britain. 
In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop
You could just pick up any Oasis LPs who for the past 6 years have been trying to replicate/honour their love of the Beatles. They just released a record on 07/02/2002 called "Heathen Chemistry". I would rate "Whats the Story Morning Glory" and th... 
Counterpoint Hybrid Amps: How do they sound?
I have owned many many Counterpoint products u until about 6 months ago. I have owned the Sa1000, sa2000, sa11, sa2, sa100, sa220, sa4s, pac5s, pac15s, and did a long home audition of the sa3000. the only failure I had was with the sa220 (i touche... 
Best Female Rock Group
I thought those chiks from Poison really rocked. Not sure if Whitesnake qualifies, chik singing behind male backing band...;) 
Is Audiogon worth it?
like anything, do your homework and make smart decisions and things usually work out. 
Still Freaking Out Over Tube Noise
upscaleaudio, Vintage tube services, and Tube World are all places where the tubes are tested extensively. 
Still Freaking Out Over Tube Noise
you sound like a prime candidate for those "audiophile full service tube dealers". They will charge you 2-3 times more than other places, however you can be rest assured they have been tested for microphonics and are matched. I would recommend Mul... 
Tubes-Uninformed Buyers??
My post may have been unclear, I am not talking about NOS tubes sold on Ebay....were talking stuff like Sovteks, Tesla, Svetlansa, Chinese stuff that are still made and sold by places like Tubeman, Tubestore, TriodeElectronics new for cheaper than... 
What qualifies a "low baller"
you guys are too polite.....I fully agree with the above posts and follow SDcampbells method of pricing. I take the time to price my items fairly and at or below market and place my ads as FIRM. If I don't get any bites and someone offers $100 or ... 
What qualifies a "low baller"
My opinion of this is simple, say you have an AudioEverything VT1000 amp, and if you look on Audiogon, Audioweb and Audioshopper and there are 10 others for sale there all between $500-$750. You have priced yours at $450. When someone offers you $... 
Has anyone used "The Packaging Store" to ship?
my rule of thumb is to take these people with a grain of salt.......they say they ship fine China, glass, mirrors, etc....but when you tell them it is a speaker, or amp or cd player....they envision Circuit City audio gear...they, like many people... 
From tubes to solid state
