I've been lusting after a Parasound P5 pre-amp since it was first announced, and I'll soon be purchasing one, to be paired with a B&K Reference 200.2 amp that will soon be on its way to my doorstep...
Sounds like a wonderful combo. Which speakers will you drive with these?
Bill,
I will be driving a pair of Focal 806V's with the combo for a while. The speakers handle 125 watts RMS, and I was looking for a B&K 125.2 to drive them with, but found a killer deal on the 200.2 and couldn't pass it up. At least this way, I'll have the power to drive virtually any speakers I may pick up in the future. The amp will be here on Wednesday, and I can't wait to get it hooked up...

Good luck with the sale Rick … i sure missing talking to you back when you had graveyard shift.
To all who read this: Rick is a stand up guy, you can trust him.
Hello Steve! Thanks for the kind words (and free bump)... I miss those days as well my friend...

Since I've been fortunate to have been back to work for 4 months now, I'm able to do some major upgrades to my setup that I've been wanting to do for a while. I've been lusting after a Parasound P5 pre-amp since it was first announced, and I'll soon be purchasing one, to be paired with a B&K Reference 200.2 amp that will soon be on its way to my doorstep...
Due to this, I am selling my Yamaha RX-A1020 to help fund these purchases. I ordered it (brand new, not a refurb) from an authorized dealer (World Wide Stereo) via Amazon on December 25th, 2013. As with all my toys, it has been used in a smoke/pet/child free home, and is like new. It, like all Yamaha products I've owned over years, has performed flawlessly for me. It has an excellent build quality, sounds great, and is very good looking (IMHO)...
It will ship in its original box, as well as being double boxed. Included in the sale are the receiver, remote, power cord, AM/FM antennas, and all original documentation. I'll also throw in a few free goodies with purchase: (1) 15' heavy duty Monoprice HDMI cable w/nylon braiding (nice heavy cable, but very stiff), (1) 6' Monoprice (I believe) HDMI cable (nice and flexible), and (1) 3' pair of Radio Shack Fusion interconnects (remember those?)...
My asking price is $649 shipped, to the US only. Postal Money Order/Certified Check/Personal Check (will not ship until it clears) accepted as payment...

The set is in excellent condition. There are a few light scratches on I & II that happened while removing them from the cardboard sleeves, but they play perfect.
$65 shipped. Postal Money Order/Certified check accepted as payment. I will also accept a personal check, but will not ship until it clears.

Rick did you ever get that second bike?
Not until next spring, when this one will join the stable:

Good evening forum members...
I took a nice motorcycle ride today, and here are a few photos I took on my journey:
18 miles in, I hit the 30,000 mile mark on my bike...
I spotted this old Ford Galaxie at a vintage car lot in my Hometown of Corning, NY today, and had to stop and look at it... It's pretty nice shape, and I'd love to have in it my driveway...
Anytime I go to Corning, I have to stop at my favorite pizza joint in the world, Aniello's, for a few slices...
Since the weather's turned for the better (finally) , I've been logging some decent mileage the past few weeks... Here is my current total for the 2014 riding season:
Love the colors and that front rim!
Thanks, I just put the new wheels & Michelin tires on it a month ago. The back one matches the front, here are a couple better photos of the rear wheel:

Based on the positive reviews of the new 2014 remasters thus far, I purchased the first 3 Led Zeppelin Deluxe Edition CDs yesterday. I won't get a chance to listen to them until Saturday, but I have high hopes that they'll be a noticeable improvement over the 1993 remasters...

Wow, I went to church camp at lake Keuka when I was little. The water was unbelievably cold, even in the middle of summer. I think they said it was spring fed.
I believe you are correct, but not 100% sure...

It's a boy!
Congratulations!! -
From today's 175 mile motorcycle ride...
Filling up in Lawrenceville, Pa.

This is a great show, with plenty of star power, including many who sadly are no longer with us. Given the age of the material, the video and sound quality are pretty good, though the audio is "only" in PCM 2.0. Highly recommended for Dylan fans...

Bill, thanks for the update!!

Thank you Carl...

Yes, I snatched up the B&K 200.2 that showed up for sale over the weekend, by the gentleman who is selling off his entire HT setup. Since he "only" had a feedback rating of 3, I was a bit nervous to purchase the amp from him, but decided to pull the trigger anyhow. When I saw the price of $300, I could not believe it,as that's about half what they usually sell for.
The amp came today, packed in a Reference 50 Preamp box (it fits perfectly). It is in excellent (near mint) condition, and I hooked it up and listened to it for a while before going to work, and it sounds great!!
I could not be pleased with the transaction, and feel that it was one of my all-time best scores.
I do not have the time right now, but perhaps I'll PM you tomorrow to get your thoughts on the P3.
