My gift this year is a friend who just bought a home in Jackson. TIME TO FREELOAD! 
Used pre amp advice
I love my Classe 30 with phono. B&K's are nice also. 
Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it?
The shot melted! 
What is your comfort level?
You are way under budget on cabling. I was alway told to spread the $$$ equally (all cabling together should equal a component)? 
I fell victim to a scam
STOP PAYMENT-I agree with bigkidz. Your bank will do whatever you like....I know one "scammer" who burned big by a guy who scammed him by stopping payment on a money order!Also, there are escrow services IESCROW.com and more.I personally, will che... 
Help, Turntable Belt.... Weird

Paypal got me a full refund on the unit and shipping from a bogus ebay sellor (not audio gear). They work if you follow the system to a "T". 
HT receiver that can reproduce 2 ch across spkrs
Most pre/pro's and receivers have a 5 channel stereo mode, some even have 5 channel mono? Try denon, marantz, integra, anthem, b&k...

Newbie, but learning- my vintage system
If wattage doesn't matter, I'll bet that the sansui with some nice tubes will give the mac's a run for the money? Just curious what you think?
