Buyer Beware
I buy local on Audiogon it may limit choices but no hassle. Both were big purchases for me both sellers were top-shelf people and a pleasure to do business with. I might add everyone on here that I've interacted with have been great.  
Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this?
Yogiboy I can't see any knobs how do you turn it on? 😋

Pretty is as pretty does!  Or Amps got to sound good to look good and the amp looks marvelous.     
Technics integrated sug 700
holmz thank you for your time and expert explanations it is appreciated. I often read about this amp or that has good headroom. I thought it meant that at loud levels when you are pushing your amp to its limit and the music pushes it over its max... 
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
I think free speech in politics should be grounded in truth telling after all you are trying to convince the voters of your qualifications and character. When the candidate spews nothing but lies he/she undermines our democracy. Look at some of th... 
Does a graphic equalizer show where your amp is lacking?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond. Imhifiman and Yogi42 yes ears for sure hearing is shot at 75. bomerbillone Schiits seems not to be Shi$ and for $150 it was a good toy for being a pandemic shut in and boomer keep on keeping on. holm... 
First CD player help!
Like you I bought 700 classical CDs for $200, older stuff most never played lots of great music from great musicians. I bought a Marantz cd 6007 for $500 works fine. Streaming will come later for me.   
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
So many bands sadly, after Led Zepplin, they are all a distant second!

Warning for Revel lovers
  I wonder if it is the business model used by Japanese audio companies. I have Technics SUG 700 integrated amp and it is a fine piece of gear but Technics support is nowhere to be found. It seems to me after many nonworking phone and www address... 
Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.
That's why I buy used from  local sellers on here,so I can preview the purchase and should a problem arise well the seller is a short drive away to clear up the matter in person. I have never had an issue buying on here not even close.  
What a pile of Schiit
Since we are talking Schitt here. I am thinking about buying the Loki mini plus. MY purpose is to soften, recess, and in essence, give my sound a little more meat around it class D bones. Can an EQ do those things? quincy noted above that it prod...
