Buying something simply because it has the latest connections defies the fact that old NEVE BCM recording consoles from '69 sell for $30,000. Hardly "the latest" connections. For those of you who know what you're doing - you will look at the schematic for the Pioneer VSX-1021-K 7.1 and schematic for the HT-4000 and take notes as to how they differ. Variety is the spice of life.
On the other hand, I have clearly stated MAKE OFFER - never stating that 500 is a fixed price. I'm only starting at $500 because the welcher bidder who never paid on it seemed to think it was worth 500, and the bidder before him thought it was worth $450. So I will reiterate: MAKE OFFER. If you don't want this piece, I have no clue why you would waste your time posting here or making corrections other than the fact that you're bored.
In all honesty, when I see a listed piece of which the merchant is not 100% sure about, I would try to keep them ignorant so I could get the upper hand. Why would I educate them so they could be a step ahead of me? I'm here now, telling you I'm a stupid merchant and I don't know anything. My stepfather is in the audio business, has a whole show room full of amps that I can sell so here you are - I'm doing you a favor by making this rare minty gem available to you. Take it or leave it. Just because you don't want it doesn't mean I need to hear that. I will gladly sit on this amp for another 30 years until it becomes an obscure gem.
