Thank You Audiogon.


Couple of month ago I visited a High End Stereo Shop in Seattle, looking for a Audio System. My intention was to find a system for around $5000, I was told $5000 would buy me a single component, rather than a system.
Friend recommended I check out the used equipment on Audiogon.
In the last two months I was able to put together a system with the following:
Soliloquy 5.3 speakers, VAC Vintage pre-amp and Vintage mono block amplifiers, Linn LP12, Itok II w/K9 cartridge turn table, EAD 8000 MKIII DAC, EAD T1000 transport, MIT Tube speaker cables and interconnects. All for less than the $5000.
Couldn't do it without Audiogon or the great sellers on Audiogon, thanks you.

Great 5K system Paulg805!! I have to agree, I don't know what I'd do without Audiogon, I managed to assemble a 20K system, wires and all, for 7K and change. Much thanks to providing an outstanding forum for audio experimentation and camraderie.
Sounds like your just getting warmed up. In another year you can tell us how you upgraded everything here at audiogon for a mere 20K :^)
Great story, and welcome to the cheapest merry-go-round in town. Sounds like your friend is in line for a steak dinner (and bring that salesman a doggy bag for the part he played)! Viva Audiogon!!
Good Job! Personally, I do not like going into audio stores. See my other posts on this subject.
