My amp has no faults
It's not the amps fault. It's the Audiophile's fault. 
Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful
185.00 is a lot better than 95.00 per hr min of 4 hr for a Linn Sondek LP12. Take your time and set it up yourself, or at least try it first. I rebuilt 2 Linns and saved a lot of money that way. Just be careful with the cart while installing it. Y... 
Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift
I've had almost every one of the classic Klipsch speakers including La Scalas and a Cary SLI80 tube int. would work fine, or a McIntosh 7270 like I had for 18 years is a great SS amp with these kind of Klipsch's. I think there's a 7270 for 1640 on...

Maybe I'll go with BH on the Tuner and Heimdalls on the CD. I use the Tuner the most then the TT then CD. Now for something from the amp to preamp? 
Interconnects
Thanks, I have Blue Heaven LS 1M I'll use for the amp to pre, and 1M Heimdalls for the Tuner to the pre. I now have all 1M LS Blue Heaven power cords and they really seemed to make a difference. I need to replace a 2M Vishnu with a 10 foot or 3.5M... 
EL 34 Amp Recommendations
A Cary V12R goes very well with the SLP98 I had both. If you can go a few more bucks the Cary CAD 120's is even better and runs much cooler. I'm running the CAD 120's (but with Gold Lion KT 88's) and the SLP98P. I had Cary put in high speed hexfre... 
Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers
B stock, NOT the same as new or A stock. Charging the same for B stock = RIPOFF! Common sense! Full disclosure. What is there not to understand? Right is right and wrong's no good. 
Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging
Lipinski L505 or L707's. Add a sub if necessary and you won't need floor standers. The only way I'd ever need floorstanders again, is if I moved my system downstairs where someone may walk by and knock a monitor over. In that case floor standers m... 
upscale audio is this legal?
Please...you don't want upscale to go broke do you? 1 person can make a difference? I wanna know what the serial # is on the Cary V12 amp! 
Is it too much to ask....
Maybe the wattage is private to some, just like the reserve price on an auction. 
what would you do?
Get the CAD 120's. Its better than any of the V models. Make sure to put tubes in it before playing it, and whatever you do, check those F'N serial numbers! 
How is a stores inventory logged and accounted for
Whoever bought the Cary amp is the one at fault for not checking to see if everything was right. Its been a year and a half. Learn from it and get over it. I've bought from Upscale too and have always had a positive experience. 
what would you do?
I buy and sell quite often on ebay and you should always use a credit card tied to paypal. You could have gotten a full refund. In fact, ebay sides up way too much with the buyer. A few years ago I paid for a full set of Walking Liberty half dolla...
