| How can anyone afford this ? I have put together what many would call a pretty good system, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. First of all, I know what I want and how much I'm willing to pay for it. Then I scan the used gear websites every day, looking for the right deal. ... | |

| Dual 1009 : Is it a good TT to buy ? That Dual was not one of their better tables. The 1229 and 1249 were better tables. I also have a B&O (BG 9000) tangential tracker and think that it is a great sounding table. | |

| Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo? I'm thinking a pair of used Gallo Ref. 3.1s mated to the NAD 165 preamp and their C275 amp would be a killer combo. The NAD stack can be had (new) for $1500 as can the speakers. See Agon ads for available units...-RW- | |
