   It does sound slam-dunk, doesn't it? Too bad these SX-838s don't command   
   more money on eBay. I'm selling some stereo stuff that I don't use   
   anymore. There is a thriving market there for some stuff. I saw an old   
   McIntosh tube preamp that was being sold for parts go for over $400.   
      
   Well, now I play the waiting game. Sometimes it goes out every 15   
   minutes, sometimes it takes weeks.
