Thanks all.... he is a low life for sure. No dig against Decware , but I wouldn't pay a premium just because they are backordered. Not for any amp. I waited 11 months for my amp and I'd do it again.
Funny thing about Gold Record Guy is he has a few high end pieces , but most is good ole' Mid Fi gear that for whatever reason he is "collecting". Saving, thinking he can gouge someone in the future because it's "new" . This hobby is completely lost on a guy like that. What a loser.
One thing this hobby has taught me is my system is quite modest compared to many here. But call my baby ugly and I'll come out swinging ! That's almost like saying my kids are funny looking. Happy listening!
