To answer the questions I have gotten regarding a trade, cash is best. Would prefer cash, but will trade for the following items: MC phono cartridge with low hours, nicer turntable than I have (Thorens 160bmkii), 10-12 foot speaker cables, particular tubes I need (U52, Western Electric 422A, 274b, 101D), a USB cable, or other stuff possibly. The issue that you should note is that I won't trade a $7000 (retail) DAC for $100 speaker cables. Be realistic...
