Audiogon has no 'likes'
Never had a Twitter or Instagram account. I deactivated my Facebook page years ago and only wish I had done it sooner. I guess at 38 I'm officially a curmudgeon. Now get out of my yard and slow the hell down! 
How to calculate freight class for speaker shippin
Used home audio speakers are freight class 100 if I recall properly. The problem I encountered when looking at shipping my speakers freight was that the companies would only insure for 10 cents per pound since the speakers were used. So they'll in... 
Beware Olive owners
That's why I built my own music server. If you can build a computer, you can build a music server. They're one in the same. 
WTB: Levinson 436 cartons
Probably be easier to build a crate. I would assume most owners would prefer to keep their factory boxes for resale value alone. I know I do. 
Calling all Supratek owners.....
On my Cabernet Dual, the toggle between the towers was a mute switch. I had a Chardonnay before this, but can't recall. I know there was a toggle switch on the Chardonnay for high gain and low gain of the 6SN7s. 
SUB-WOOFER RECOMMENDS
I think you'll get much better boom for your buck if you venture outside the B&W family entirely. With a sub, you're playing the bottom octaves so there's not much reason to stay with the same brand as your speaker because timbre matching is a... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Morning 40 Federation at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans on 7-18-15. Great jazz, funk, rock band. They label themselves "drunk rock". Great show! 
Does Balanced Power Technologies still exist?
When you go to b-p-t.com, you are redirected to:b-p-t.com/comingsoon.htmlI would assume that he may be working on a site update and/or new product announcement. 
Transporter not transporting
If Modwright did the work on the analog output stage, I would assume they should be able to fix it if this is where the problem lies. 
Network Player
If you're savvy enough build you own network attached computer with storage for $500 then put the rest of the money into a DAC. If you want to put a little extra money into the computer for appearance sake I'm a big fan of the cases from http://ww... 
Potential seller's strange policy
I'm with Swampwalker on this. He's probably been burned in the past by under-calculating shipping. You're not paying the fee twice because 3% of the total will always be 3%. If you pay $1000 + 3% it is $1030. Then shipping costs $50 + 3% = $51.50.... 
Best High End Audio Manufacturer???
Whoever I can afford. 
Paying time frame
I pay as soon as I receive the seller's email confirming the agreed upon price. So I would say 24 hours or less. Typically, I'm paying within an hour of the confirmation email. 
Supratek out of business?
According to the review, $4k for linestage only or $6k with phono. 
Supratek out of business?
