The new store Audio Element has all the lines Brooks Berdan used to carry. I wonder how he picked up all those lines with a new venture. Brooks Berdan had those lines for years.I've never seen that happen before.

About 2 years ago I was looking to upgrade my phono-pre. The owner of the store told me to bring my phono-pre and we would compare it to his. I listened for about 30 minutes and couldn't tell the difference between mine and his. Mine retailed for ...
