You depend on the sellers intrgrity.  On eBay, check his feedback.  And if
it's not up to par, let him know.  Most sellers on eBay will go te extra
mile.

JT30's require a special JT-30 cable, not a standard balanced line XLR
cable..  Use a normal XLR cable and the sound becomes very low and thin.
Also, JT30's require a high impedance input.  Run it into a low impedance
and the sound wimps out.
