@cowan217.......................I feel the same way and my last 3 transactions as a seller were  transactions from hell.  I am done selling equipment as it is too much of a hassle.  Then there was the guy who bought a $1970.00 Magnum Dynalab FM tu... 
Why are my woofers pumping?
Same problem on 3 different Turntables. As a last resort, I bought a KAB rumble filter which I run via the tape loop. I do not notice any less bass and my system really swings. The filter even uses audiophile parts in it. New it was 179.00 but I s... 
BEST SOUNDING PLAYBACK CASSETTE DECK; RECOMMENDATIONS

What's Your Take on This ?
I had a 555 ii and never warmed up to it.  At higher volumes, it got thin and etched sounding.  I replaced it with a Classe 10 amp. 
Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?
Actually, although I am not interested in buying the DI, I will listen to them at the next audio show I attend.  I may have heard them already at the RMAF last year but I am not sure as the Tekton room was crowded when I was there.  My curiosity h... 
Amp for Odyssey Lorelei Speakers?
For 5 years I had an upgraded pair of Lorelei speakers.  They sounded fantastic with my Odyssey Stratos extreme amp.  The synergy had to be heard to be believed.  I also used the Groneberg cables since the amp and speakers were wired with them.  T... 
Timbernation Platform Problems
I think that  TimberNation's audio furniture is too big and chunky looking.  Personally, I don't care for the looks.
