What music is your system setup for?
Mostly marching bands which I record live off the halftime shows. Just got a doozy from the Sugar Bowl. 
Selling to someone in another country
Language barriers, trust, time zones, customs, VAT, shipping arrangements, shipping costs, currency exchange, fraud, et al. I don't have many completed overseas transactions but I have logged many hours emailing and researching failed efforts. I'v... 
Unable to audition used speakers a problem
Whether or not the seller is willing to unbox and demo the speakers for a prospective buyer falls under the heading "terms of sale". He may find that his policy works out just fine or he may learn that lots of people feel as you do. Either way, I ... 
How much to setup a table??
Try advertising on here for someone to calibrate your table and arm for you. There may be someone within 100 miles who would be glad to find an audio buddy somewhat nearby. Also, if you were to state what table, arm, and cartridge you are using th... 
Passive Preamp?
A passive preamp has no amplification stage. It is actually something of a misnomer. Typically they do not plug into an electrical source. I own two of them and they are both just switch boxes with a volume control. If you need more than this fund... 
Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones?
Zu Druid. 
Question about Druids
I think this must be the ad that provoked this thread. I also think that Ozzy62 asks a valid question and that the comment about discounts (which might be true for all I know) remains unsubstantiated. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrful... 
Question about Druids

Question about Druids
Is there anyone out who negotiated a price on their Zu speakers? I was unaware of the "fact" that the price could be negotiated until Jjimali said so. Can someone verify that? 
Zu Druids
You've asked the question backwards and forward and not at all, apparently without eliciting the response you want. Perhaps if you would just tell me what you want to hear, I could recommend it for you. 
Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones?
Make the jump from A to Z. For clarity, efficiency and ease of placement -- Zu Druid. 
Coincident Total Reference vs Zu Definition
Ridiculous overkill either way. 
If you had to pay full retail, would you...???
D_edwards - You bring bluster and recrimination to every event that captures your attention. I see no effort on this forum that would suggest that you want to help anyone. All of your content focuses on building yourself and belittling others.You ... 
What is the best SS Amp and Pre given the trends?
Could be, Bill. I sold my Aleph 30 after I bought the Red Wine. I've heard that the new First Watt stuff comes closer to Vinnie's amp and may even be as good. 
What is the best SS Amp and Pre given the trends?
