New Koetsu on Ebay from Japan???
Juki is well known on Ebay and has been around for a long time. Like others indicated, no warranty and maybe even gray market without serial number.  The risk is yours.  However, savings on a stone bodied Koetsu can be significant (greater than 50...

Whats on your turntable tonight?
Picked up a mint copy of Big World by Joe Jackson for $7 at a local record store.  Excellent recording - listening to it right now. Also, no ticks and pops (rare w used records).  
Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable
Meh - it may have been a great table when it came out, but I don't think anyone in their right mind would buy a new one now.  There are many tables that sound and look better at that price point. It may be a great starter table at some of the used...

My subwoofer trials and tribulations.
I didn't really have any issues with integrating the REL subwoofer into my system. I basically followed the manual (connected to the hi-level Speakon cables), placed the subwoofer in a corner, and adjusted crossover and volume until I got the soun...

@oldrooney - case closed?  Are you kidding me?  What is your relationship to Viking?  Please disclose.  
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
Somehow, I was having issues getting into Whats Best Forum, but magically I can again.  It seems the thread is starting there with Viking Acoustics weakly defending themselves.  So my question is, how does a thread get deleted in Audiogon?  Does V...
