[net.audio] AUDIOMART

The thrust of this article is directed to those "golden eared audiophiles"
who have not been shamed away from NET.AUDIO.

For those of us who are cursed with "champaign appetites" and are forced
to cope with "beer budgets", there is a publication that helps greatly.
AUDIO MART. PO BOX 223, CREWE, VIRGINIA 23930 bills itself as
" The largest marketplace in the world for audiophile equipment".
I must say that I have really enjoyed my dealings that I have made
thru this item. The main thrust of this monthly magazine is the selling
of used audiophile quality gear (subscribers may advertise for free).
Most items are sold by audiophiles to audiophiles.  That means most items
are in top shape or at least are advertised honestly.
The prices are generally realistic and certainly alot more affordable.

Typical product names found are:
  Acoustat
  Dahlquist
  Audio Research
  Koetsu
  Cotter
  Denon
  Vandersteen
  Threshold
  Apt Holman
  Quad
  Revox
  Bryston
  Nad
  Hafler
  Linn
  Dcm
  Lux
  Electrocompaniet

...not to mention.......

  Tandberg
  Conrad Johnson
  Counterpoint
  Nakamichi
  Fulton
  Audible Illusion
  Dynavector

It has also provided me with an excellent source for better quaility tubes
and capacitors (the famous polyprops and such).

I don't work for or have any direct association with this magazine (sounds
like it , though ). It has given me a chance to audition alot of gear that
I would never had otherwise. NOW YOU ARE HIP!
