| Purchase advice: Old turntable vs. new.... There is a reason idlers like the Garrard 301/401 and Lenco L75 are used in many high end systems. They are excellent sounding, relatively cheap, easily serviceable by the user, have plenty of easily available spare parts, do not break down, and a... | |

| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp Love to hear what that 805 sounds like. There used be a guy building amps with SMPS and GM70 tubes with thoriated tungsten/mercury rectifiers. Sounded awesome even on YouTube. | |

| i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam... Really? @elizabeth I have to try that....EDIT.. I guess I'm good. No spam check. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... I googled the phone # in a majority of the post headers. Results show that this spam is on scores of forums. #deathpenaltyforspammersIf Agon just blocked the text string "9145958860", 80% of this would be blocked. | |
