@dseltz  Same message I got.

@metaldetektor That is essentially what USAudioMart determined when I asked about the transaction/ad. There was miscommunication between the parties.   
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC
@cooper52 Thanks for the review. I'm very much looking at the Pontus 15th because of the price, because I have the Iris, and now the reviews. Not to detract from your review at all but New Record Day also gave the Pontus 15th a very favorable revi...

@chason678 I'm glad you won your case but I'm concerned that your negative feedback disappeared from the seller's reputation. My concern is that if AudioMart can be hacked to fake reputation or get rid of bad feedback, it makes buyers very vulnera... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
I bought the Iris 12 from audioman58 (audiophile58 on USAudiomart) and I had no issues and he was very helpful since I had no prior experiences with Denafrips or using a DDC. He also is providing a discount from the list prices (I believe). I have...

I don't know this situation at all but I ran into something like this on Ebay where I ordered something and the seller, who had an excellent rating, actually died before he could send it to me. I had to send a number of requests for information pr...

@chason678  So I saw your negative feedback for the seller but now it's gone. Do you know what happened?

@chason678 I don’t see that you’ve given him negative feedback. If he has scammed you, that might be the best way to put others on warning and perhaps make him reconsider. I looked at his reputation and it is spotless. Unless there is a way to fak...

@chason678  Thanks for the heads up. It was something I was potentially thinking about. Have you flagged his ad on USAudioMart?  
New Cure Release
I listened to the album once. To me, it seems like a cross between Pornography and Disintegration. Songs are long depressing jams with depressing lyrics. I don’t know anything about a trilogy unless the band has a bunch of songs (too much for one ... 
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
I also use the PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. I don't have much experience with higher end phono preamps and I asked for advice on a thread in this forum. For me, it was the ease of use coupled with the good reviews that I saw. I was sick of havin... 
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
You probably have enough suggestions but I'll throw in the speakers I have in my secondary system in a smallish room with no room for speaker stands: Nola Boxer S3s. I tried several other speakers in the room and had issues. I find this speaker to...

DAC connection to computer
@8th-note I am right with you on the not hearing any significant difference between my computer to the DAC and a much higher cost individual streamer/more expensive DAC combo.  I read some posts on this site about the use of a DDC.  So I bought a... 
Recommended tubes for LTA Preamp
When I had an LTA integrated with a preamp section, I contacted Brent Jessee at tubes.com for his recommendation.  I told him sort of what sound I was looking for and he gave me great advice.
