Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
@audioisnobiggie  Aww, I'm such a meanie to the criminals. To a di-k-thing ni--a criminal gangsta, it's all the same thing after that anyways. I always find it interesting how people are capable of behaving when they can be anonymous. Racis...

@audioisnobiggie  Most listeners choose to support the artists who are di-khead ni--er criminals who expect everyone else except for the bitches to make them care about them.  Criminal world is like the opposite of trying to make the best audio ... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
@nonoise  Was there a fire sale somewhere on crystal balls? Of course, you are correct. The OP has yet to state how the original lost claim was resolved. I leaped to the conclusion that somewhere during the eight months since it was lost that ... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
If the OP received any monetary settlement with the shipper for the lost shipment then he no longer has any ownership claim whatsoever.  
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
I’ll take a guess that the OP underinsured his shipment and whatever he got paid for the gear didnt come close to making him whole.   
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
@czarivey here’s the way it works. If you ship something and say have $1,000 insurance from Fedex and then they lose it, they pay off. You set the value, they pay it(after alot of fighting and arguing), in effect you sold it.

@rok2id Greed is the answer.  They seem to have  forgotten that you can't have an affordable flourishing market for Prorsche, Ferrari and Lexus, unless you have a flourishing market for VW, Fiat and Toyota.  Otherwise, it's all on borrowed tim...

@hilde45 Indeed, as you know better than most due to your profession of interpreting data accurately and objectively for a living, the data can convince either side of a topic that they reading the tea leaves appropriately.   I posit that there ...

The three best years for modern era high end audio sales in terms of units sold and revenue were 2021, 2022 and 2023.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I’ve only got 40,000 tracks on my 2tb Grimm Audio MU1. Works perfectly. I do not utilize dsp, I’m not a fan of the sound.  
MQA....again.
Is anyone actually cross shopping a Lenbrook product with a non-Lenbrook product now filled with anxiety for FOMO if they choose a different product? For most who frequent this forum, I would sibmit this isn’t a thing. For those who wish to remain... 
Double up on speaker cables
@timkeough1964  I continue to be astounded that intelligent, educated adults still believe a few strands of silver can provide "airiness", " finer detail", "improved mid bass" and bring out "nuances" only previously heard by golden eared fruit f... 
Ethernet cables
With due respect, just for balance of message, an actual computer network engineer will tell you that any adequately designed cat 5e or above cable, within spec., will deliver the same sound.   Any dietician will tell you that two steaks with ... 
The Horror
The automotive equivalent of what happens on Audiogon:   Person A: I have a beater Chevy pickup truck, it hauls alot of stuff in the back and does so easily. All I have to do is put gas and oil in it, don’t worry about scratches...it the perfect... 
The Horror
@ap1 while you might be trying to be helpful, your advice above ($20k entry point, Luxman or Accuphase) is somewhat narrow and wide of the mark. The OP was seeking help understanding what about his setup was holding him back. Its the room combined...
