I fell victim to a scam
I would assume that PayPal uses an ACH (Automated Clearing House) transaction. I do not know thier overall policy but ACH transactions can be reversed. I would contact PayPal and see if they are willing to reverse the transaction and the I would a...

Wavelength Cosecant or TwinDAC+ or ???
I had the Wavelength Cosecant DAC in my system but it was out performed by the Audio Logic, Chord and a few others in the same price range. It lacked the dynamics and deep base of the other units I compared it to.Happy Listening. 
Digital source cords
55dok is your K-Works cord upgraded with ERS paper? The K-Works cord is a great value and the next level up is the Foundation Research LC-1.Happy Listening. 
Advice needed please.
Jond,Thanks alot. The Tube Technology Fusion CD64 is one of the best and they never show up used.Can you lend me yours for a few years!Happy Listening. 
What's up with Talon?
I spoke to Mike the other day, he was out of the country for a few weeks. He is very busy with a new model coming out last time we spoke.Happy Listening. 
Threshold SA/3 to Pass Labs X250 comparison?
Teajay is correct. The X-250 is one of the best amps for the used prices (since the .5 was developed, the X-250 prices have dropped even more) You can buy a used X-250 and resell it for what you bought it for. It works great with tube and SS pream... 
should I stay with Audio Research LS25 ?

BAT VK-30 vs. VK-5i
The 5i is a warmer, more musical sounding preamp then the 30. The 30 is slightly clearer sounding and slightly more dynamic.Happy Listening. 
ARC SP11 vs ARC LS22 ???
I have compared the LS-25 MKII to the Ref MKII. The Ref was more lush in the mids, more extended in frequency and more musical overall, but at the list price, a lot of $$$ for a little more improvement. The CJ LS-17 MKII ( the one that is around $... 
ARC SP11 vs ARC LS22 ???
Never heard the SP11 but the LS22 was one of the worst preamps that ARC designed. Any old ARC dealer will confim my opinion of the 22. This preamp is just not musical at all.Happy Listening. 
Pass Preamps
I owned the X-1 and X-250 for many years. It was one of the best SS preamps and amps that I heard especially for the used prices they go for. To me a SS component will not sound the same as a tube unit. You gain some benefits with each so it is up... 
Help Please
Look for a Metronome CDP, there have been some used ones around your price range.Happy Listening
