linn audio groups?
Check out Delphiforums.com or Topica.com - search for Linn. 
Retail vs. List Price
Could it be speakers have a higher retail mark up because they take up much more space relative to their value compared to electronics? 
What is your most anal audio habit?
Jeffloistarca, cleaning your ears out? That's not anal at all. I had a feeling all was not well in my aural cavities last year, so I had my doctor clean my ears out. What a difference it made having those rather shockingly large amber chunks remov... 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
Kjg, there is another Audiogon thread titled c2it ...no thanks - or something like that. Be sure to check it out before you register with those guys. 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
My local Hifi shop charges me if I choose to use a credit card if it is for a pre-owned item at a giveaway price. I consider this to be perfectly fair – I want the best deal and the shop is trying to work with me. By contrast, if some bill-roll wa... 
"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon
Ezmeralda - I think you're right. Searching by members's names could get a little creepy and I kind of dread it myself - now that you mention it. 
"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon

Why get an expensive tuner?Am I missing something?
I have heard broadcasts on my system that sounded better than any recorded source that I have heard anywhere, apart from a live performance. Of course this depends on the quality of stations broadcasting in your area. In my case it was CBC (Canadi... 
HE IS BACK AND BEWARE
This is confusing. He leaves a deposit with the seller and then bails? So he is giving away money? - And why not reveal his name here so that we can identify him - especially if he is a known crook? - Brian. 
Am I going insane?
David Byrne said "The last good looking American car was made in (circa) 1962" - and I completely agree. But as good looking as they were back then, American cars were still behemoths. I seriously can't think of one American car that I wouldn't tr... 
Am I going insane?
Gumby, I agree with you on most counts - even though I am a devout VW freak as well as a Linn freak. But not blindly so - and I continually re-evaluate my commitment to these brands. I agree that a companies ‘badge’ is only an indication of the pr... 
Am I going insane?
I LOVE hearing direct comparisons made between B&W and Polk. ;-) 
Am I going insane?
B&W is British for Bose.
