    Once you go "Mac" you never go back!

    What do you want for the Adcom? I just might be tempted....

    If you're actually interested, I'd be hoping for $750 plus shipping to the buyer. I paid about $685 plus shipping, but the unit's remote doesn't work, (although the unit responds to another Adcom remote that the seller has). So I ordered a replacement from Adcom which cost me another $60.

    Yeah, US$750 is about it; new price is $1500.

    No, I haven't heard it yet -- still in transit. Most likely it will arrive tomorrow.
