| How many people here generally buy used? "How many people here generally buy used?"Only two items were purchased new. Oddly both of them preamplifiers. A Yamaha CX-2 and recently a BHK. 21 years apart in time. Maybe that provides enough time for one new purchase? | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! "He laughed and said that's the stupidest thing he's heard and laughs when people talk about it." Apparently YOUR electrician does not appreciate additional billable hours. | |

| I Need Some Opinions... dorkwad has it right about the Audible Illusions equipment. The only reason for parting with the Modulus 3A was the lack of a remote control. Great equipment at a great price. | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Regarding the Coda 07x preamp. I just picked one up used. I also recently purchased the Coda 06x phono preamp on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised. Both units are wonderful. Was using a PS Audio Bhk preamp prior to the Coda 07x. The Bhk is stil... |
