I believe that most of us here live near a record shop who sell many of the titles you mention above. If I was in your position, If what I had was rare hard to find titles or audiophile type pressings then I would put them up for sale. The downsid... 
Best Tube Dac you ve heard
Ive owned the Vac Dac2 Mk2, the CJ da-2b, and now an Audiologic 34. The Audiologic is by far the best ive heard. I did not care for the CJ at all. 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
I do not care for Audiogons policy of "Overtime" bidding. I believe it opens up the process for self bidding on auctions and in some cases forces the bidder to sit and watch the item if he or she really wants the product. I enjoy ebay's method whe...

Phono cable EQUAL to tonearm cable?
It denpends, in most case they are seperate. My SMEV and Linn akito arms have tonearm cables in the tube which end at the base of the arm nessesitating the need for a "Phono cable"...some arms, usually cheaper ones, have tonearm cables that begin ... 
A Tombstone in the Living room????
I have been using granite (a 50lb slab) under my tt for years now. It provides a vibration free foundation to which many isolation devices over the years have tried to accomplish. I wont part with my piece and your post reminds me that I live with... 
Beware of new Krell Waranty Policy
Samski In my opinion, a bad investment would be buying a product on its warranty as opposed to its sonic merits. If Krell works well in your system and to your ears I find that a good investment. Buying and reselling in itself is a bad investment ...
