I e-mailed Electraglide to ask them, but received no response. John, you are entering the "Electra Glide Zone". Proceed at your own risk. 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
Well, since everyone in the audio industry is so great, who is not? I can't think of any any bad apples, IME. Name some names if you can. William Scott Hall - Electra Glide Audio. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Some DIY 30"x30" sound panels made from 3/8" foam core covered with Dacron batting and an outer fabric of your choice, all held together on the back with duct tape, and hung on the wall with heavy duty Velcro. About $25/panel depending on the cost... 
Am I missing something?
not to mention that my record brush is made from the hair of a 16th century Castrato.I don't think I'll be able to eat today. 
Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp.
I have toyed with the idea of replacing my VAC Phi 110/110 with a lower cost alternative, and the primary reason I haven't done so is exactly the seller's remorse you describe. I suppose I'm lucky to have experienced enough "impending remorse" to ... 
Problems with Ayre's Company???

Problems with Ayre's Company???
I personally have used the "gateway" method and purchased many things from my local dealer. I applaud the loyalty to your local dealer. 
Problems with Ayre's Company???
I would caution against suggesting there is a problem with Ayre or any other company that you are concerned about as a consumer unless you know every single detail about the business practices between said participants.Excellent point. 
Problems with Ayre's Company???
In addition, many times buying a piece of equipment used serves as a gateway to future new purchases once you discover how great a product line is.Is this true in your case, Chetair?In my case, it is not. No matter how outstanding a product may be... 
Problems with Ayre's Company???
We can only hope that with time this "change" in sales management will be corrected. Until then we all need to be careful because marketing to sell more and more units without supporting peripheral dealers in a company rich in tradition such as Ay... 
Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???
My Ludwig Blue Vistalite Big Beat drums, purchased in 1977 for $700, I believe, are worth about double today...cowbell included.:)
