HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum

Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed!

Class D = Trash?
The Bel Canto Ref 600 mono amps are superb! 
Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
