SpecialK,There is indeed an imbalance (in the Force?) but what I have been
doing lately is buying either used or demoed gear.The NBS Serpent AC lists for $450 new, I got it at auction for
$191 shipped DHL next day.The Chang was bought used from a fellow, who after about a year,
needs the 9600 with it's 8 outlets. New $535, used $275 shipped.The Link DAC and D-60 were bought new for $325/$129 x 2 in .5m
shipping included. One end has to be BNC for the CA CD6.Basically new (low hours) GT SE40SE for $730 delivered, $1395 new
Dealer Demo GT SEP1 SE w/new Phono board $852 out the door, List $1400.
I tried in vain to find a 15' pair of used speaker cables, and actually
found a top of the line Vampire ST-1s for $200, but I waited a day too
long and they were sold. 15' isn't too common a length and this is
what I need. So maybe the DH stuff is a bit inferior to the rest of
my stuff, but its a lot better than the twin runs of Vampire 12ga Zip
I had been using.Monarchy Audio DIP mkII Retail $249, $181 shipped (new & sealed)
