What is going on
Just start a Lowballer section on here, where a fair, reasonable or intelligent offer will be ignored. # 10 condition and higher only please. 
What is going on
Blue book is only a guide. There are listing costs paypal and shipping costs involved also. If you don't like used, pay retail. 250.00 less than what? Something that sold for 300.00 or 30,000.00 I just sold 2 subs 7 months old and actually made 8.... 
Charge for TT setup?
These days a customer willing to pay 6k for a TT should have his ass KICKED, or at least have set up charges dropped. Walk away, you can always walk back. If the dealer is in a hurry, tell him to be patient...or become one. Best of luck, and I hop... 
Charge for TT setup?
Tell the dealer you think you found one for 5700.00 then wait and see if they still want the sale. 
Any speaker have the similar sounding of Wilson
If Wilson sounds bad get better equipment and treat your room. Oh, and make sure you can afford them...before you knock them. 
Help for a vinyl novice
The LP12 is a great TT. They are not hard to rebuild, and can always be upgraded. You need to be patient to get one at a good price. I sold one for 4500.00 a second for 3500.00 and have a 3rd one that I got for a steal. Before I got the 3rd one I ... 
Can Highend IC improve equipment downstream??
Elizabeth is right. I almost went the Nordost Odin full loom route. I got a nice Mercedes instead, and have plenty left over. 
Nordost QB8
I plug the preamp (power supply) to the primary earth and the TT, CD, and Tuner the rest of the way. The QB4 plugs into one socket and the Amp plugs into another. No difference plugging the Amp directly into the wall, it just frees up one socket o... 
Nordost QB8
I have the QB4. I used to plug the amp into it but now it's straight into the wall. Your configuration seems to be good. You could use QV2's in an empty space or all of them, but I wonder if they really work especially at 350.00 each. Good luck. 
What's wrong with my almost new speakers?
replace the resistors. 
Cerious Technologies?
I've been running the 8 foot LC Series and they are very quiet. They relaced Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II's. I also used Kimber 4,8, and 12TC's, Morrow Audio SP 3 and SP4.The others all worked pretty well and were more flexable, but the Cerious Tech... 
Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100
Have you tried connecting the speaker wires up (from the amp) red to red and black to black? Instead of red to black and black to red? 
grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?
I keep the tops off and the bottoms on now while listening. Wilson Witt series II. The Lipinski L707's were always run with the grills off. They don't even cover the tweeters on their speakers. I run an Orick Air Purifier to keep the dust down in ... 
Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions
I'd send it back to Cary. I needed a cold solder joint fixed and they repaired it out of warranty, so I had them put in Cardas caps so I would not have to ship it again in a few more years. It also made the amp sound better. Cary will also run you... 
grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?
Depends on the speaker and the grill. Off for most for sound..looks are secondary unless you date porn stars. Then it's grills off.
