What is " lowball"
50 % is way low I agree, and would never make an offer that low. I always try to make an offer consistent with prices I've seen recently and use that average as a start, buying or selling. I want to get a good price and thought it was because I lo... 
What is " lowball"
Aroc, I have been ignored when offering 95% on items and it just made me wonder what obo meant is all. It will take more than rudeness from an anonymous person on the web to break my heart and I'll keep trying I guess, all in all I find this to be... 
What is " lowball"
I am just surprised that people have no interest in making an effort to agree on a price in the middle, after all obo means the price is up for debate in my opinion. 
Turntables less than $1000 Recommendations ?
Clearaudio Emotions have been available new with arm and cartridge for 1000. I just bought one and love it so far, I'm even thinking of selling and moving up their product line. Good luck 
Clearaudio Emotion MC cartridge
Is that a medium output cartridge? It's in my price range for sure. 
BAT preamp owners
I've owned both and loved them as I have all BAT gear I've had. Interface much better on 30 which I'm selling now to raise funds regrettably. Great stuff. Good luck. 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
I have Mini Utopia's paired with BAT VK60 and VK30 preamp. I love the combo but am thinking about a sub. I believe Sound by Singer demoed the Micro's with BAT's newest tube amp VK55 recently. CES I think. 
Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not
One more thumbs up for BAT. I have had a vk3 in the past and now have a vk30 and vk60. This really is great stuff and worth the price I believe. I'm lusting after the vk6200 right now as well. As far as service they have sat on the phone with me a...

I have heard BAT with Avantgarde at Upscale Audio and felt it was one of the better systems I've ever heard, Don't have the scratch to buy them though, or the room.

You guys have me second guessing my purchase here! I thought the dual mono power supplies, oil caps and better interface would add up to an upgrade, what is so wrong with the vk30? Although the sale of it would free up the funds to get some Wilson...

Thanks, I really want to pick up the 3.2's and try them out. Half the fun to me is switching gear around in hopes of finding that sound we all seem to be in search of.

Thanks for the tip. I don't plan on selling until everything goes through, but I'm curious if you tried different tubes (not that you should have to) to remedy the problem.

Do you have any experience with the older versions of the WP's? I have heard great things with the newer, but can't find alot of info on older ones. Did the vk60 drive the virgos well? 
bat vk 3i vs arc ls2b
With the 3i adding the remote is 500, as is adding phono, but with the 3 which is what I have, you pay the same 500 but with the mandatory i upgrade at 250, and phono is not available, and the factory will not be able to do it much longer. I bough... 
bat vk 3i vs arc ls2b
Call BAT on the remote issue, I just bought a VK3 and VK60 (I'm already in love) and Steve at BAT told me they can upgrade the 3 to i status and install the remote option, but only for a short while longer. The only problem being that I can't get ...
