| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Irony here- I've recently dealt with three manufacturers-One for a repair; one for an upgrade and one for a direct purchase.

| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Oy, ost der gezain? Get this thread back on track. And I stand corrected, used gear at B&H is negotiable. New gear, in my experience isn't. And Jewish or not, I think most folk enjoy getting a good deal. | |
