Marking Items Sold
Jond, From my experience it is easier to leave the ad as is, or put sale pending on the bottom of description. If you put sold due to an e-mail and the person backs out, you have lost all the potential buyers such as yourself from even looking at ... 
Paul McCartney Trivia Question
All people shown are from left to right include Michael Parkinson, Lenny Lynch, Paul, James Coburn, Linda, Clement Freud, Christopher Lee, Denny, and John Conteh. Best, Charlie 
Is anyone else getting annoyed with...
From a marketing standpoint "they did get you to look" is good, but very annoying nonetheless. As I get older "somewhat"; have come to the conclusion that it is my money they want. Have to wonder how much they make versus my negative comments abou... 
How long do you hold an item?
Just my experience I am speaking from; sometimes it's hard to reply quickly. But if they want to buy/sell an item they will get back within 48 hours (out of town for extended periods of time due to work). I usually send e-mails specifying my ETA's... 
B&W 804 Nautilus help
I second Sugarbrie's recommendation. If possible try out some amps for comparison, the Bryston does a good job with the B & W but everyone has different tastes. I had used a pair of 3B's as mono's with my 804's and it sounded very good, now us... 
Any Pink Floyd Fans out there ???
Another one similar somewhat to Pink Floyd would be The Crazy World of Aurthur Brown. Don't know if any of his stuff is out on CD though. That's my two cents. Best, Charlie 
Thiel 1.5's with sound anchor stands?
I would recommend talking with Sound Anchor to see exactly how high they are. I bought some stands at the first of the year for my B&W 804N's and had a very good conversation with them over the phone. They could point you in the right directio... 
"tube" cd players?
Joeb, Not sure how much you want to spend or anything; but I might suggest buying a used CD player and trying it in your system. If it doesn't sound good you can resell it and try some else. Just a thought! The Cary CD301 has tubes and are had her... 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
Just because you own a Porsche doesn't mean $2900 is not a lot of money! We all have toys, Charlie 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
Figured I would add my 2 cents on this subject. Twice I have taken some gear to someone else's house to audition and possibly buy. My experiences were both very good and met some very very nice people in the process, and also got to see their setu... 
speaker base help
Thought I might add that when you add a base to your speakers, make sure you do not use the base to move the speakers. They might not be designed to do more than support the speaker, such as the B&W speakers with SA stands! The stands do help ... 
Spikes for B&W N803s
LEV335, I just recently received my Sound Anchor stands for my 804N's, they do help. The stands are about 2 inches tall and the price is around $225 for mine. If you need some info you can e-mail Bob who is very helpful @ info@soundanchor.com Best... 
Do you drink when you listen?
Tireguy, You must have inhaled by accident! Bourbon is also good though. 
Upgrade for Cary 303?
I inquired about just this same thing. Was told by the girl at Cary to wait for the new 303-200 to come out, she didn't even mention a price. You might e-mail them and have better luck. Best, Charlie 
music for a broken heart
Greg, You're missng the obvious, The Baby's "Broken Heart" or anything by John Waite/Baby's. I also agree with Sean , No Country Music. Best, Charlie
