How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon
I just love when a guy/gal post photos of his/her very expensive speakers either sideways or upside down.Is it really that hard to "rotate" a picture before you post it & put it up for sale? 
How do you respond to this question?
Because none of my turntables can play CD's! 
Koetsu Burma Jade Platinum
If you can afford it & you have the proper phono pre - GO FOR IT!I have owned many Koetsu's - But not this one - But none have disappointed me in the past.They are a tad heavy & make sure that your tone arm & weights will support it. 
Does anyone listen to Military Music?

favorite phono cartridge
Clearaudio Insider Reference Wood - Has beat every cartridge I have used in 50 years.FWIW - I have never spent more than $4K for a cartridge, so I cannot compare to those more exotic models. 
R. I. P. Jack Bruce
Will play "White Room"in his honor - A tremendous talent! 
Should I finish my basement
YES! I would finish it & ENJOY!I think as long as you do not add a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom - the tax man has no say.I live in NY (mid state) & finished my walk out basement 6 years ago & have not heard a knock on my door.The diffe... 
J.C Verdier R.I.P
He was a legend & genius.The Platine was one of my favorite tables & if memory serves me correctly - The Grandezza tonearm was made specifically for that table. I had that setup for 6 years & sometimes wonder why I went in another dire...
