    So, who ever buys this should utilize the loudness to **** clarity but only listen at low volume levels or else the **** magic created by said feature will be lost, correct?

    Ive never personally used the loudness feature. I have no clue. :(

    I guess my **** clarity just isnt up to par.

    It was the LOW volume levels needed to utilize the **** clarity wasn't it Trey? ;):p:D

    Sorry but from what I've heard we don't do the "BEST OFFER" here. Try Ebay with a low starting bid...Good luck

    Hmmmm.....you must be on a different forum than I am because this is what it says in the FM Rules

    Selling Guidelines

    Note: Besides #1 & #2, the rest of these are just guidelines to make the sale easier.

    1. You must have a total post count of 25 (contribute to the other parts of the forum) before you can sell anything in the "For Sale (FS) Classifieds" or "Garage Sale" forums.
    2. List a price you wish to sell the item (include shipping costs). All members asking for secret bids (like ebay) will have their items removed.
    3. A price + OBO (or best offer) is OK. Please handle "best offers" through private messages.
    4. Post pictures of equipment with manual cords, etc..
    5. Give approximate age of item you are selling.
    6. State whether you are original owner.
    7. State condition of equipment (be honest if there is damage).
    8. Once the sale is complete, please post "SOLD" at the beginning or end of your thread.


    I believe #3 should clear things up. Perhaps a PM should have been sent, but it's OK to list a price and accept the best offer. He didn't say best bid.
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    According to my Audiophile Bible, Chapter Knobs and Switches, Verses 2-5, and I quote:

    "Thou shalt not use any Loudness contour controls for anything other than late night, reduced level listening in thy home. Thou must only be listening at reduced level to not spite or disturb thy family or dwelling mates, while attempting to still retain attack and impact of the selection being played. Otherwise, thou is a poser audiophile and will be banished from the kingdom of audio for one thousand years, or until rapture when Henry Kloss will return to earth, forgiving us all, and granting us passage to the uber rig in the sky"
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    It might buy a picture of it.

    Its a shame I displayed them publicly.

    Great preamp folks - good sound. Only reason Im upgrading is its time for me to move on. Its hard for me to get to that point though. The rig sounds so good right now.

    Gaara,

    I hope you enjoy the B&K. Its an absolutely great piece - I heard it in person - excellent condition, phenomenal sound...Funny how like minds think alike; we both have an XBR960 and want Trey's preamp.

    Trey - Congrats!

    you are correct, sid

    BTW I never told you thanks for the behringer monitors, I asked you top reply to my pm but you never did. I have a question about the standby function. They arrive with only a small dent in the bottom corner of one of them, boxes utterly destroyed.

    Thanks

    Yeah I am still debating whether or not to get the Odyssey.

    I think I may end up breaking down and getting it though.

    Will decide soon. Have to.
