Suggested NEW CATEGORIES

Need help from Wadia and ML CD player owners
Hi Jimmy,I've owned quite a few Wadia players(23,850,860,861)and they're all fine machines. The 850 gives you the monocoque chassis of the 860 series and looks cool and it's built like a tank. When you move up to an 860 series player, there's quit...

No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
Just a question... To all of you who seem to be so adverse to selling COD, what makes you sellers think that you can be trusted to send the item(s)that we might have paid for in advance? If you take my money, what are you giving me in return? Mayb...

How Do You Decide What to Listen To?
It's kind of funny, but I started alphabetising all my music almost 20 years ago after accumulating enough to bother. As most of us do, we probably have 30-40 "go to" albums or cds that we listen to more than any others. Sometimes it's an instrume... 
Audiophile's New Year Resolutions?
My New Year's Resolution is to find enough time to start really enjoying all the "stuff" I've been accumulating over the last year. Sometimes I feel like a junkie; I get overly anxious awaiting the next big day of new listings. It isn't enough tha...

Feedback system flawed?
The feedback system definately has some value. I've been fortunate so far because almost every one of my transactions here have gone quite smoothly. Being in retail sales myself, you can't always make everybody 100% happy, but I think that the int...
