^^^ Exactly, jhconnor. ^^^ Thanks for not being stone-blind to the truth.For the others ... There is nothing wrong with our system as it was intended. The problem is, men have subverted the system to meet their own needs and the needs of their wea... 
I miss the Audio classified ads of the 70's and 80's in the newspaper
Personally, I enjoy your thread, Taters. I used to wheel and deal a bit in used stereo gear. I'd always try to get a copy of the weekly "Recycler" every week to get to the good stuff first. Lot's of Dyna 70's for fifty bucks ... and Dyna Mk III's ...

Schubert ...I've been in the real estate business for the past 38 years. I can assure you that real estate firms do not control the prices of houses. Supply and demand does. And quite honestly, if you think free market economics (Austrian School) ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Now, now ... easy guys. This is about fun, remember?? Just finished listening to Etta Jones. In the room. In the dang room. At this point, I can't think of anything else to say about the fuses. The clarity of the system at this point is astounding... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Update ...Robert (Mr. Golden Ears) came over for the listening session last night. The last time he came over the black fuses in the CD player had at the most 20 hours on them. At that time, he thought the black fuses were a big step back from the...

^^^ Sorry, but you guys are looking at apples vs oranges. The top of the line ARC preamp is a different animal.  One box vs two. More electronics and state of the art doesn't come cheap. For those who can afford 30k for a preamp, more power to the...

^^^ Thanks Charles ... watch for my Email.
