Is it all worth it?
I’ve had over the years numerous different systems. What I really enjoy these days is simply listening to the Radio (on the internet) I’m surprised how good some stations sound but I like not listening to or for SQ as much as it forces me to just ... 
Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell
I don’t sell much if anything on eBay. I find their fee structure too high. Add in the PayPal fee and it’s almost 20% to sell on Fleabay 
Chemically Altered Audio
I’ll stick to Grapefruit Kush 🚀 
Power Cable from wall to my conditioner?
Shunyata. They have so much more experience than most everyone else. Their first Hydra Conditioner shook the market. Their products are still some of the best, especially their lower priced products. 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
I owned one bought new. I used it for many years with Thiel’s, Mirage M1, ProAc’s  it was a great sounding amp. Built like a Brick House. Replaced by ARC Classic 120’s that blew up a lot. Replaced with another Levinson no 333. Enjoy your amp, and ...

PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio
I just looked at most of these posts. There’s a bunch of folks that have way too much time on their hands. To the OP maybe you should just buy new, you must  “not value your time much since you’ve wasted so much of it. To try and save a few bucks

New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
