Aurender and Tidal hanging up
I guess it depends on your transport doesn't it? 
Aurender and Tidal hanging up
IMO, this is what CD transports are for. They seem to be falling out of favor but what happens when your internet is down or slows down? I'm actually upgrading my transport. I also run Tidal through an N100H. 
Holo Audio Kitsune level 3 Dac...Help!!
That’s correct. They do not include printed manuals since they are easily downloaded. Also, Tim Connor is a very helpful resource if you send him an email. 
Are We Different?
I don’t know if the "openness" to music, art and other stimuli is the same for listeners/viewers as it is for musicians that actually create music, but I have always wondered where music creativity comes from. Some of the most creative music artis... 
Missing the Old Days
I have a similar pair of speakers to these. Never understood the need for a sub. Get these and rock on!http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649427189-legacy-audio-focus-se-beautiful-natural-cherry/

Here, here Robert! 
New Man Cave/Theater room setup I built.
Not that expensive really. I built a 180 sq. ft. shed for lawn equipment and storage for under $2K. Make it a little larger and incorporate a little more refinement and there you go. Of course, if you hire it done it's a totally different story. A... 
New or Old CD Player?
I would opt for a CEC TL-5. This is an analog sounding transport that is belt driven and gets absolutely rave reviews for under $3K. Go through a dealer. Don't buy off Ebay.

Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio?
The OP states:" As of late for example an ad was placed for an item as "new" when owner admits that it is 1.5 years old and has at minimum 200+ hours of use. This in itself would be rated a 9/10 at best by the Agon rating system."I agree this is... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Previously, Supertramp, Crime of the Century on DVD audio. Now, Kansas Masque via redbook CD on the MSB transport. 
Oppo Ceasing production
I'm going to be a contrarian here. People say physical media is dead but just look at the resurgence of vinyl. My sense is, that CD transports are the "digital turntables" of the future. I just traded my Ayre multi disc player for a dedicated tran... 
Morrow Audio Cables Feedback
I have been using Morrow Audio cables for several years now and I'm very satisfied. I have taken advantage of their trade-up program many times and currently run MA-4 XLR interconnects and SP-7 bi-wire speaker cables. My next step will be to move ... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
This is awesome! I appreciate all the comments. Is Neil the most technical guitarist....heck no, but he certainly knows how to coax emotion from a guitar. As the father of a wonderful daughter who is quite musical btw, one of my favorites has alwa... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
From my perspective white speakers would be highly undesirable. I'm a traditional wood finish guy. Just one opinion of course.
