    Hmm - before anyone gets carried away with the moment, beware that the seller's got some pretty crap feedback and can't even come up with a picture of the actual deck he's selling. A sure-fire way to a disappointing purchase.

    My thoughts exactly! I've managed 108 feedback without putting a foot wrong, and I've not done anything out of the ordinary, so how crap must he/she be?

    I wouldn't care how long the barge-pole was!

    Feedback special - those feet have GOT to be replaced (same thing for SL110). My BC2's were used with one of these as source with SME and either V15 III or ADC XLM II
