Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money??
Last August I purchased a pair of Egglestonworks Fontaine Signatures from a fellow Agoner. A great transaction by the way! These are great sounding speakers and I will have them for a long time. They fit my music room perfectly, the build and fini... 
For our European friends
Once in a while I buy one of the British audio mags and it also seems from the ads to be alot of retail audio stores there, likely in larger metro areas I assume. Why is Europe different than the US in this respect? Maybe, based on hard data it is... 
Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12
There are some used Acurus amps, used to be made by Mondial (?), out there on a couple of the used sites, pretty reasonable prices. These were popular back in the day and seemed to get good reviews. I think the Acurus brand had a re-launch a few y...

Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon
If you go MC, MAKE SURE the loading options in your phono-pre will accomodate those required by the cartridge. Even better to have a range of loading to experiment with to dial in the sound you want. MC have more considerations as those mentioned ... 
pre amp tubes
Look at Upscale Audio website. Lots of great info, videos, and actual user reviews of pre amp and power tubes. Bought many from them and very satisfied.
