Looking for a new preamp
As good as the Freya S is, it's not in the same league as the BAT. 
ROGUE SP-5 OR MODWRIGHT LS-100
I had a LS-100 for several years.  Excellent preamp with the right tubes.  Have heard the Rogue RP-5 a few times, but never in my system. 
Ordering Vinyl From Burning Shed
I get quite a bit of vinyl from over there.  Typically, 12-15 days.  Actually just got (2) LPs from a seller in the UK.  Took 16 days, but Labor Day caused a day or two delay.

Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S
Agree with the above.  Very nice indeed!  I also have all of them, not sure if this one is the best of the bunch, but top 3 for sure. 
Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him!
Is there any way that it can be ensured that this guy doesn’t do the same to some other unsuspecting seller on the ’gon? I kinda agree. I hate naming names, but in this case, I would feel better knowing who this dude is...so that I can avoid him. ...

Not sure how far you want to take this, but if you send the pic(s) you got to Harbeth, I bet they can tell you what they think might have happened. They have seen this a few times I’m sure.Least that would give you another opinion. 
Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him!
I’ve owned many Harbeths. The grills have to be removed correctly with a magnet. I have seen many Harbeth with ripped grills and damaged wood on the edges where the grills are.It sounds like the buyer tried removing the grills incorrectly and want...
