| SCAM ALERT For AudiogoN Sellers - Too Many Questions I advertised a pair of vintage Klipsch on another sight and being that I'm from Mass, a potential buyer from NY asked for a video of them actually playing before he made the trip.

| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Robert congratulations on one hell of a system. That said, I would look to your own words for guidance.
