I'm being too reasonable aren't I?
Reasonable is boring.
Maybe I'll just open this bottle of scotch.

Well, shit. I promised my wife I wouldn’t buy any gear until next year, but there’s a cherry L-509X on Audiogon right now…
Egging @Mather on has me fighting my less frugal angels.
Any ideas or suggestions? NightMather?
Oh man I’ve taken tomorrow off work and now you’re all making me regret staying sober, especially with that fresh bottle of Lagavullin 16 sat in the cupboard!

This picture is making me want an old fashioned.
Is that a Bookers I spy?
You know what to do.
Take tomorrow off because Bookers means IT'S BUSINESS TIME RIGHT FUCKING NOW

If my wife asks, I absolutely, in no way, emailed the dealer about the Lux listing. Nuh uh. Wasn’t me.
This is the work of Bookers.

Does $6k USD out the door and shipped for a 1 year old Luxman L-509X with another year left on warranty, from the same authorized dealer who sold it to the only owner (traded in for separates), sound like a good price? Includes original packaging, remote and manual.
I forget, what's your current rig?

Very nice. I bet those Revels SIIIING. I really enjoyed mine but those are a whole different ball game to what I had.

I think it's a simbiotic relationship, you egg me on, I egg you on, and ultimately we both end up with great new gear and also divorces.

Then you move in together, have a divorced guy pad with two great systems.

Yes, the price is good but what do you want to gain over the Margules Arch-3?
You might have a harder time selling the Margules than buying a Luxman; the brand is not as well known. I don’t know if that was part of the plan or not.
