Audiogon anyone?

[porcy62]

I am in the market for a phono stage, on Audiogon I found some tasty stuff, at great prices, compared to new retail prices, or to the few used pieces I could find in italian domestic market. Obviously dollar's weakness helps.

Have some of you yurpeans had some experiences?

Some gears has both 120/240 volts options, so it couldn't be a problem to import stuff from North America. What about shipping costs and tax duty?

Thanks.

Spend your money.

I have purchased many items on Audiogon with no problems.

The feedback system for sellers is not accurate though (all feedback must be "approved" by the seller before it is posted). You should email or write the seller so you can get a feel if you can trust him or her.

I've made several purchases via AudiogoN. Two were local though.

There have been quite a few horror stories so watch out. Don't go for any weird payment terms. Stick to PayPal and fund it with a credit card.

no problems with my one purchase on audiogon but I exchanged several emails and spoke with the seller before I paypaled from cc. Also worth checking out the sale boards of the various audiophile sites-audioholics, etc.
