Welcome to Budget Audio, a Yahoo Group about setting up good to great quality sound systems for the least amount of cash possible. We're talking about getting the most BANG FOR THE BUCK! Share about the latest new equipment and your vintage and classic audio favorites. Many members find high-quality equipment "dirt cheap" at Thrift Stores, Flea Markets and on e-Bay. This is a great place to share stories and obtain information. This is also a place to recommend equipment that provides maximum pleasure for minimum price.

We welcome posts about receivers, tuners, pre-amps, amplifiers, cassettes, open reel to reel, turntables, CD players, minidisc, HT, etc. from the mainline consumer audio companies like Pioneer, Marantz, Kenwood, Sansui, Teac, Akai, Yamaha, Sherwood, Scott, McIntosh, etc. to lesser or barely known brands. Performance, specifications, modifications, repairs, tips, manuals, schematics, dumpster diving and thrift store finds, eBay sales, etc are acceptable topics. Tasteful FS (For Sale), FA (For Auction), WTB (Wanted To Buy), etc. posts in moderate number are also acceptable as is limited OT (Off Topic) discussion.

Group discussions are mostly unmoderated but will be if necessary. Speak freely, but note that excessive rough language and vulgarity is not appreciated. This is a flame-free zone so character assassination will not be tolerated. Abusers, spammers and excessively unsavory characters will be removed.
