Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW

I think maybe I have caused several people to misunderstand my comments. What does diferentiate a "bricks and mortar" store from the internet...I would think that it would be the service they can provide. I want the local retailer to survive and t... 
Sony 808ES Integrated
Kotta/Dweller thanks for writing. Dweller, the 9000ES was another piece of gear that is an unbelievable value, I had one and sold it for the hype of another player that turned out to be a dud. Kotta a friend of mine (he first spoke of the 808) who...

Vibration/Resonance
Randelleron and Rosebud, thanks for the reply. I think I will probably play around with it and see if there is a noticable difference. Thanks again and have a great new year. 
Wadia X-32
Thanks for the input Justlisten and Rcprince -- the unit has to be an earlier version (1990)and is in decent shape...it's about the sound for me not the looks. I am amazed at the sound this 10 year old technology makes. Thanks again, the forum and...

Best speakers for looks & sound < 1000
