Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.

I just read something:

People don’t want advice, just confirmation

I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.

I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

I did that. It never occurred to me: he doesn't have any current listings, so nothing came up.

I was looking to find his profile: approval rating, sales history, evidently has sold 360 items,

nothing came up.

elliott,
I'm sure that it sounds perfectly fine to you and your friend. I'm just saying that if you compare it to a really fine player, it has an artificial and electronic signature to it. Hey, they didn't cost a fortune, so you can't expect too much.

i'll quote lewm

"The BDP105 and the 205 are possibly the best DVD players ever made that are not astronomically expensive".

that's my goal with anything.
