Proved that despite its huge size, the CD3000 can be shoved down one's throat.

Nobody says that you should not take the journey, but there are other ways of going in that journey without using other's wallets, (at your dime) Just go to a meeting, schedule a mini-meeting at other member's home, go to stores where you can hear the items, and the worst case, if you have no other choice, and still want the ride just pay for it, at least partially...That is why restocking fees exist.

But IMO it is very convenient and abusive, to go to a journey with others picking the tab for you, don't you think?

For completely wrong sales , or defective items, or special cases, well maybe it is a way out, but even though, not the right way...IMO...

Just as an example, I got the HD600, not my cup of tea, and resell it, later on got the SA5000, same case, sold it, MG-head, Perreaux, a list can go on, in any of the cases I have lost a money of my lunch. Buy used, and save money, and in case you do not like it, just sell it again, there is always someone willing to get the items from you, I have pulled the trigger completely blind many times and with success in the majority of the cases, and of course I have sold a lot of stuff here, there is no problems at all...

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you know for sure how the recording is supposed to sound? So for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and begin to feel the music instead!!!
