Phono preamp for new Klimax LP12

Why are equipment racks so expensive?
“Am I willing to spend the money, reorganize my gear, and take the time to listen for the (possible) subtle improvements in sound? Nope. Too lazy for that.”Then why bother with the rant! Are you bored? +1, @ozzy62 for Butcher Block Acoustics recom...

“SOME people won’t answer e-mail at all......SOME people have no integrity.”Add lack of common courtesy to the list as well. I am consistently buying and selling here and on USAM. I’ve dealt with all kinds, most people are courteous. And then ther... 
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
