    I finally listed my old amplifier

    I too would be scared to list an expensive item with a 99p start, you may end up having to sell it for a few quid.

    After all these years is stereo still a gimmick?

    I started a thread on soundstage a while back & asked people to pick a track & state the location of any instrument, nobody was willing to do it.

    Speaker balance
