My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
I think dealers/manufacturers should post here. They can give a lot of insight. Ralph Karsten is a good example. As are Tim and Krissy. And, I also believe that users of their products should be able to heap accolades on those products if warrante... 
Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp
last_lemming You have a great amp there.I’ve owned an ARC Classic 60 for 30 years and still keep it in reserve as a spare amp. I used it with an ARC SP-14. Then, I used it with my current ARC REF-3. It went into the "spare" designation when I got ... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
I know you weren't, uberwaltz ... but I had to add my little piece to the equation. I don't understand the motivation for the hit pieces. Too much Vodka, maybe??Frank
