Cheapest places to buy gear?

Kublahan:

Try "E-bay". You can sometimes find bargains on their site. Be sure to read the fine print before you put your bid in. Once you bid on an item, unless a greater bid comes along and beat yours, your bid is your binding contract, and if you win, your winning bid should be just like your word, it's "your bond".

If you're into Sonic Frontiers gear, don't fail to contact UNDERWOODWALLY, who advertises on Augiogon. He's really on the up and up. I did extremely well on a SF Line 1 preamp from him, and he beat everyone's prices. Great to work with, and extremely knowledgeable.

Is cheapest the best way to go? I'd rather pay a little more and know that the people I bought something from are going to stand behind it if there's a problem.

I can personally and wholeheartedly recommend The Stereo Trading Outlet. Not only are they a member of Audiogon, they are local to me(in Jenkintown, PA). I have dealt with them personally(in person) on numerous occasions. Since the mid 80's. Their prices are fantastic. Please check out their website, if you cannot visit in person. They have many components that they do not list here on Audiogon. For instance, last summer I saw a Synergistic Reseach Master Coupler there. It was not listed here on Audiogon. He only wanted $99, while the private parties on this site's classified all were listing prices of $165-$185. I picked up my Coincident Loudspeaker Technology Digital Master/Troubass subwoofers there. $1300 for speakers that sold for $4200(and were still in production when I bought them). Cannot say enough good things about them and their prices. VERY nice guys too!

Kublakahn, agreed. Peace.
