Anybody can make a typo - and everybody can proofread. Sadly, many don't bother. Wouldn't you think that someone who is seeking a buyer (and paying to do so) would be intent on making a good impression overall? This guy impresses me as either careless or stupid.

"Marketing".

I found a few Coonrad Johnson records in my grandfather's Victrola.

What's did you find that was so funny, the misspelling or did I overlook something in the ad?

Yea, it's the whole misspelled "Coon" thing.  Those of us yet to mature find it worth giggling about (myself included).

Anyone email him to tell him of his mistake?

[thunderbrick]

Why bother?  Let his failure to sell give him a hint.

There's some irony for ya.

Irony?  You're probably thinking he meant "too mature", but I think he meant exactly what he wrote: "those of us yet to mature .....".  Just another way of saying "those of us who haven't matured yet".  Right, Bob?

That would certainly describe Bob, as the GAS gang well knows.

Come to think of it, it also describes most of the folks that hang around here.

I am well aged/matured, but found it very funny. I would think it was a typo.

One of my first tube amps was a Conrad Johnson.
I think a MV50, first time listening to the sweet sounds of EL34's.

[Bob in St. Louis]

I wonder how a "Coonrad" sounds through a Shiit amp?

yea.......I went there. 

[jtsnead]

Well you would need a "DAC" Digitaly Activated Computer to hook up to that SHIIT Amp!

Since it only plays RAD COONS
