Whats up everyone???
As most of you know , I work for the Audiolab in Fairless Hills , Pa. We are having a huge Swap sale. This means a bunch of crazy old Audiophiles will be bringing in there used gear and selling, trading, buying. We already have a lot of gear already including a few vintage polk speakers. Cool stuff. It's like going back in time and seeing Audio develop. We even got in "THE FISHER" gear from the 60's. All tube stuff. Sweet man. Over the last few days I met a few crazy Audio dudes. Cool conversations about where audio came from and where it's going. Some of these dude you would think spend all there time being all about Audio.... like some of us...LOL
So if any of you people want to come down and join the party, it starts on Saturday the 14th. 10am the doors open and first come first serve. We already have people coming in to scout the gear and gear up for purchase.
I so love this. It's like being at a mini show or something. Like a flea market of only stuff you love.
You can check out some details on our website at www.audiolab.com. Check it out guys and girls, you may find some cool stuff. I know I have, I want to buy like a mad man. Guys there are DAC"S for days, Tube amps, old tuners and Phonos, some dude has a Reel to Reel there. Cool stuff.
For you MIT people, we even have a nice set of MIT 2's.

I may be taking a ride thru that area in March. I hope there's something for me to buy.
Those PM700's look interesting. So do the BP7002's:oI refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -

Russ and Troy would have a field day, shame they don't live around here. hell be worth the road trip.
Many used polks and some really nice B&W's including a really nice pair of Matrix 801's in black. I got my eye on to many things but I probably will come home with at least the Sonus Faber Concertino's. I already had them hooked up and loved them.

Dan I am glad I am no where near that place!Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Wow, Dan, I never saw this post from a few weeks ago. I was in the store a last Thursday picking up the old Pio SA-8500 and Acurus amp you guys had in there. Wish I would have known you worked there, I would have said hi. David was really nice and you guys really do have some great stuff in there.

I worked the sale on Saturday and I met Pearsall001, he came in to look around. Nice guy. I'm gonna make my way over to his house for a demo and calibration.
