Do you trust Audiogon?
I would need more information than the OP has provided since according to him " Some of them involved proposed violations of banking laws" and then after reporting to audiogon the items are still for sale. For the OP's information to PROPOSE to V... 
What is best as wall plug : HMS Furutech Oyaide please
Hospital grade will grip your plugs better than residental grade. I don' t get the overblown hype on recepticales. I don't discount people saying they hear a difference but is that due to the receptical or human nature? Try a hospital grade they a... 
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
Perhaps I am wrong not the first time but I assumed the OP was looking for better 2 channel audio for music to use with his 2.1 video system. In this case I would run the video to the TV let the TV do the video not bother with switching through th... 
Are Audiophiles "Simply Guessing?"
I know I would be guessing. 16 bit 44 khz is good enough for me. 
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
If you don't have an amp you might consider the Parasound HINT6.  
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
You might be able to get a P7 a little cheaper though.  
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
The parasound P7 is 7.1 and the P6 is 2.1 the P6 is a newer unit with DSD and  usb inputs if those are needed.  
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
If you already have an amazing 2 channel amp the parasound halo P6 would do all the rest.  
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Since room perfect is one of the selling points of this amp what's your opinon of it after running room perfect? To give the amp a fair assesment I would do everything the amp is capable of. It's like saying you're underwhelmed with a tube amp aft...

I know Paradigm isn't a well thought of speaker but I am sitting here  listening to the Moody Blues and this is the best these speakers have ever sounded. The room correction on this thing is wonderful or these speakers are better than I remember....

I got curious and looked up the app for the ipad/ iphone on my wife's ipad and found it has had a steady update path since the initial release in 2016 the last was in Feb 2018 making it compatible with the iphone X. The android app has never been ...

Jriver did the same thing to mine as BubbleUPnP. I have to reflash the network firmware to get the M100 recogized whenever it gets lost. I would think it's a bug in the M100. If they get around to that as quick as the android app it might get fixe... 
Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo
I use an old onkyo sacd /cd that has a wolfson dac which always  sounded pretty good. I also have an old pioneer dvd/sacd that has been in a closet for a few years it has a good sound as well I think it had wolfson. Only thing about the pioneer it...

With MARS turned off my Paradigm 85f speakers are barely listenable  so having that alone is worth it to me though I am thinking of upgrading my speakers. The M100 drives them very easy and even after 3 or 4 hours it never gets any warmer than any...

Mine gets lost in internet space all the time. The android app can't even find it now, jriver loses it all the time I don't bother with it anymore I just use my cdp. I can ping it, I can get to it typing in it's ip address. I did all the recent up...
