    Heading to Indian Rocks Beach this weekend.:P

     

    Bill

     

    Bundle up, looks like its going to be chilly!  :D  Travel safe.

     

    I'll actually be out of town this weekend, but if everything works as expected, I might be 1 step closer to knowing if I need a smaller set of Heritage or not.

  2. Just thinking ahead.... I currently have a 5 channel HT system setup with Rf7, etc.  I'm planning to add in some heritage speakers and a tube Amp. 

     

    2 routes I see you can go.  One, you can add the 2nd 2 channel setup alongside the first, 2 totally separate and distinct systems.  I think I can figure out that part.  As long as you have the space, I think this would work OK. 

     

    However, if I wanted to go down to 1 set of speakers, is there a quality A/B switch box that would somehow allow a HT Avr and 2 channel tube Amp to live harmoniously with 1 of speakers? 

  3. Seller has a couple positive transactions but I suppose those are easy enough to fake. 

     

    And the price is low but not crazy stupid.  These dacs started at around 700-750 i believe and have now crept up to 1250.  So if he was one of the early buyers, his price would be reasonable for used.  But I think some sellers are riding on the price increases possible selling used for more then they paid initially new. 

     

    But like you said, I want (need?) new speakers more and need amplification too, so not going to mess with this deal with the flags popping up.

     Take a pic of the money order and hang onto it until you receive the item, if all is good then mail it out?

    Yeah, that seems like the obvious answer.  I'm just not sure why any seller would do that.  I certainly wouldn't.  This, along with the strangely low price, just got me wondering, that's all.

    Perhaps you could view this from the seller's perspective:  How would you like to pay Paypal to get your money ?

     

    Most of the time I've seen sellers pass along the 3% fee to the buyer. Assuming that's what you are referring to. 

     

    In either case, PP is the method that US Audio Matt recommends for buyers to use

  6. Hoping to put together a nice 2 channel system.  One of the items I would like to try is a DAC in between a bluesound node and tube Amp. 

     

    Been keeping my eye out for a Black Ice Glass FX DAC Wifi and one popped up on US Audio Mart for a pretty nice price (lower than most others I've seen listed) 

     

    Talked to the seller back and forth and everything seems generally OK until I asked about using PayPal and they offered to send out the item with just a pic of a money order. 

     

    Might be a totally nice guy but that seems strange to me.
