Fraud /SCAM
There are a lot of scams lately on audiogon. When the price is too good to be true, it's probably not true. As well as sellers with accounts that were opened the same month as the listing. I do my best to flag those when I see them.   
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
I like his music and dislike him as a person. Roger Waters managed to unite both political sides recently, pissing off Republicans (his criticism of Trump and everything right-wing) and Democrats (his support of Putin for example.) He criticizes ...

I love my 1200G.

Buyer Beware
Too many scammers out there. I keep notifying Audiogon when I see one and they act fast to remove them. I've been told by Audiogon that they're working on improving the security of selling on the site.  
Best double live vinyl?

Another vote for Technics SL-1200G. The etched logo on the 10mm solid aluminum top does it for me every time.  
How many systems do you have?
Four. Main one in the living room, smaller one in the dining room, former main components in the bedroom and one in my office. All that in a townhouse of less than 1,000 sq ft :-)
