I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
I’d buy used because if the speakers are not to yours or your room’s liking you’ve dropped an additional $20k and you’ll get $30k for them. Just my thoughts.  
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
Many Reviewers have been corrupt for years, this is nothing new, remember the Fremer incidents going back many years ago?? One well known reviewer started a new online website way back when and it’s still going strong today. I just happened to be ... 
Audio Research Pre-Amp advice
I currently have a Ref 6 SE and have had most of their preamp products since the LS2 was introduced. My favourite is still the LS5 mkII. It’s still the best of the bunch. Hard to find though.  
My experience with The Music Room
@decooney i hope everything works out to the best outcome for you and your family, it’s never easy. I certainly don’t blame them but I when I went to respond and it said I was blocked, In my own mind and experiences, I decided that may not be the... 
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
@carlsbad2 this is not meant to be something I wish to cause a battle over but I think the biggest problem in threads like this is how you started the message above. That was very judgemental and subjective. I didn’t take @uberk s post that way at... 
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
@uberk agreed. There are some great contributors here and some I’ve learned a lot from and trust their thoughts, judgements and overall assistance. Others, well, I’ll just leave it at that and happy listening to all!!  
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
@uberk I thoroughly enjoyed and most importantly understood clearly the message your post was intending to make. You weren’t trying to discredit other’s audio choices or beliefs but unfortunately the typical “sit in front of my computer” trolls co... 
My experience with The Music Room
My experience was unfortunate, I did a deal with someone there, I think it was a fellow named Josh, to trade my current amplifier and cash for a Mark Levinson 33H. This was through Audiogon. Was ready to go when I received a call that my mother wa... 
Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
Audiogon won’t do anything either, I’ve had similar situations where they only side with what the PayPal dispute results are.

What an amazing tribute. Thank you very much for sharing.  
I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions
My thoughts are you will get a better result setting your system up for near field listening, your speakers seem very wide apart. It’s free to try so why not give it a shot. Mapleshade Audio has some good tips for this on their site. As for bass s... 
Final? ARC Chapter...
Typical internet comments from many who don’t understand business. And mid-fi? Really? More that don’t have a clue. ARC may not be everyone’s flavour but it certainly is not mid-fi…  
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
@dabel my comment was about the reference to people getting mad about an offer that could somewhat be alleviated by them learning how to communicate better with other humans rather that being on here complaining or listening to music all of their ... 
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
So many sellers prices are inflated, I sell high but my equipment is always in perfect, as new condition. I personally pay more for that when I buy. I’ve also “lowballed” because the selling price was too high, not near market price, I’ve also pur... 
Buying from Parts Connexion
They are an honest company, I have bought from them via mail order. Their owner used to own Sonic Frontiers so they have a long history in the industry. Sonic Frontiers was a Class A rated tube equipment manufacturer so they know tubes. You are sa...
