What ever happened to Mark Levenson?
Didn't know he was married to Kim Cattrell for 6 years. Interesting history of the man..myth and legend. 
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
They sound FAR too expensive for me. 
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
PayPal is worthless in terms of refunds from purchases. I started a support thread on PayPal when I was stiffed on a pair of shoes. It was only $50 but the company (Pearlgo) screws people all of the time. There is a lengthy thread on it after many... 
Apple Launching Lossless Music Subscription Service?
Issue is not Roon, it is Apple, Amazon, Spotify, etc. They don't have an open API that allows Roon to work. Spotify has Spotify connect, Amazon has selectively worked with a few large partners, no idea about Apple.Who has Amazon partnered with? O... 
Integrated Amp upgrade path
@deadhead1000: What did you upgrade to?...just curious. I am a MA8900 owner. I am going to try a Lumin T2 with my amp. I currently have a ~$1500 Teac NT505 which sounds much better than the MA8900’s DAC, so as to streaming I would call out the ins... 
Best Server To Run Roon Core
I'm tempted to buy a NUC and set up Roon with my server. The subscription fee turns me off with all of the others I am currently paying for. Maybe it's time to save for the "Life" option if it is still available.

Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart

FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
There's gotta be a Global Warming angle to this...Damn you Greta...Damn you! 
JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
I own L100's and love them. They replaced a pair of Cornscalas which for my listening area were just too damn big. Can't really say anything about the Cornwall IV or the JBL 4349 but I have owned Heresy II before and the L100's hammer out Classic ... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
"I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE" 
Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?
Political Correctness has killed much more than the used audio market....that much is absolutely certain.
