I'll let you know MF, or if I buy it and it's not what I'm looking for, I'll offer it to you first.

Right now I'm leaning towards picking it up, as having two SR007s feels kind of redundant to me.

I'll be in the market for a pair of 007 in a few months. :)

You'd be amazed at the sound you can get piggybacking one 007 on another 007.

Try piggybacking your GES on top of your BHSE.  :)p6

I think that may crush the tubes :(  But it might add sparkle to the airiness of the stats, which will make the spells in Skyrim positively shimmer.

I heard about your project last weekend, ujamerstand :)  I'm hoping to listen to the KGSSHV in the next few weeks.

I'm going ahead and pulling the trigger on the HE60s.  I'll let you know if I decide to sell them first, Muppet.

That's a pretty good price on the HE60 alone, very good if it comes with HEV70.  I've received 3 offers of $3500 for my HE60/HEV70 (with a lot of extra stuff and great condition) in the past - shoulda sold.

Still on my search for a nice vintage sub-$300 D/A for someone I'm building a rig for.

Does anyone know if the Theta Chroma 396 for $179 (+$30 S/H) is a good deal?  It seems like it's a step up from the Theta Cobalt, but I read mixed reviews on the Cobalt.

Per sachu's suggestions, I have the Parasound 1100 HD, Camelot Arthur MK3, and Adcom GDA 700 on my list, but haven't seen one yet on the usual channels.  I'm assuming those are better than comparably received used 5.1 and 7.1 receivers with D/A functionality.

Not really an opportunity, but more of a warning to fellow pirates.  The person selling the Orpheus set on HF was convicted of trader fraud by the SEC.  It seems like he's selling off the Orpheus set to help with finances.  Given how high the asking price is, out of good conscience, I wanted to let fellow pirates know that this person may have questionable personal ethics, and that they should be careful should they engage in a purchase.

I'm not posting links since they contain personal information, but due diligence was straightforward.
