| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Wow it looks like you can buy most of those tables on Amazon. How can you go wrong! | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ?

There are other things that can affect this but again I'll repeat...listen and... | |
| Wiring the SuperTweeter @milimetr just curious why would you require 3.5m ? When I used a super tweeter many many years ago I wired the super tweeter that sat on top of the speakers to the binding posts of the speakers maybe at most 1.5m below. I did use some silver cabl... | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." Who trusts J Valin? Never have never will. The $$$ he has made off equipment he reviews and doesn't buy should be criminal IMO. | |

| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation @limomangus gives some insight into how claims are processed and how should the average Joe go about insuring high $$$ audio gear? (Or anything that is expensive) |
