| Fraud /SCAM I will NEVER purchase anything from an individual, not backed up by a company that can handle credit cards, unless I can buy through PayPal merchandise and services. Every other method is a ticket to give money to society's pariahs. | |

| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Speakers first, mono amplifiers second, pre amplifiers third. All other changes are like adding sprinkles to an ice cream cone, nice but could live without. | |

| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) duckworp Thank you for your excellent article. I have been considering all 3 of the streamers you mentioned and your comparisons and comments are very helpful. | |

| Point of higher priced streamer? mgrif104Thank you for your streamer journey. Many of us do not have the ability to compare audio products in the real world because of a lack of available local sources. Hearing from someone such as yourself, and not a professional reviewer, c... | |

| Manufacturers This is a very interesting thread. It made me think of all the attempts I had in the past to get in contact with the owner or manufacture or supplier about an item that, for whatever reason, I needed to discuss. I remember all of those that hand... | |
