| phasel linear 400 Somehow I just couldn’t resist on this one. I’m sure a slip of the typing hand, but it is Phase Linear. In my early days of audio I owned and greatly enjoyed a “Phase 400” driving stacked Advents and yes even triple Advents for a time. I can still... | |
| Safe Way To Transport LPs The plastic corrugated boxes (white with black lids) from Bags Unlimited are the ticket. They’ll hold 50-60 albums each and can be safely stacked 3-4 boxes high. I used blue painters tape to seal them and it makes for easy removal. Assuming your m... | |

| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. This is a humble suggestion to sellers from a long time member who has sold many items on Audiogon over the years.
