1. Sellers who post "obo" then get upset because you offer $3000 for the posted $3200. When I see "obo" this indicates that they are willing to consider less (or more) than the stated price- yezz, noo???2. Members who post their political opinion... 
Did you see Springsteens latest show???
DREADHEAD,Best to ignore the unbelievers. Bruce loves this country and he speaks it everyday. Wish the poets would speak up and the war-mongers go hang with Rumsfield and his little globe. Those guys have damaged America for generations to come. 
Did you see Springsteens latest show???

Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
To the unbelievers! The Lenco is indeed a FANTABULOUS machine!!! As to Jean's great efforts to prove the Lencos attributes- dead on stability, clean, quiet and and vibrant dynamics- attributes which allow the cartridge to ride in the groove with ... 
Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC
Lots of interesting responses which I will research. I use Roxio Toast software with my MAC laptop (lossless).The sound is very good, but like others, very time consuming in that the entire LP must be played. So unless you REALLY want it digitized... 
Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used
Go for it (as long as they are in good condition and come with the stands). I've owned Avalon Monitors- 2 pairs, and Eclipses, all were/are great speakers. They don't wear out, per se. But more likely to be abused and troulblesome. Again, if they...
