What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
To be frank, there is an increase in buyers that are jerks.  There is a new culture that has injected itself into the scene that didn't exist 10 years ago.  Trying to scam low prices and make difficult transactions.  I'm done selling here.  It has... 
I like Steve Guttenberg.
I like his stuff and the style in which he presents it. Not sure why some of you are using this public forum to make judgmental comments about his person. He’s doing a great service to you and your hobby.

I got 2 Elgar 6006B units. The first unit is from 1973 and the second unit is from 1984.The first was dead on arrival because it was severely damaged during shipping, so I bought the second one. After a lot of tinkering, I was able to get the firs... 
Axpona 2018 Will you be there?
Cool.  I'll be there tomorrow. 
Anyone have issues with shipping Canada to USA?
I just bought something.  No problems.  Took about a week to arrive.  There was a fee, but the value was around $1K. 
Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D
I feel your pain.  I had a Krell amp for several years, then downsized to a receiver, then went through a string of amps and preamps (tubes and SS).  It's a pricey rabbit hole.  In the end, I always missed the Krell bass and house sound, so I boug...

Well it arrived early, but was damaged in shipment. It doesn't work and needs to be returned.  I'll let you know if I continue to go in this direction.

Hi Lak.  Just exploring my options.  I'm looking at "audio" branded units  too.  The Elgar does several things in an all-in-one unit that make sense, such as DC blocking, isolation, voltage regulation, and cleaning up the sine wave without digitiz... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
why do people feel the need to keep asking questions like the OP? Does it make them feel better? 
One of the best HDMI cable?
The monoprice hdmi cables that were supposed to pass 4K HDR were causing the video to drop out periodically. They worked fine on 1080p but not 4K. Switched to Nordost Heimdall 4K and now have no problem.  These were 3m cables.

Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled?
I had a similar experience with TA.  Muddy bass and lesser resolution until you move into the higher-priced models (XL or higher Gen5).  I find it fundamentally wrong when a mfr requires you to spend $10K+ on a single cable to get the same resolut...
