What's going on with the used audio gear market?
@ghasley Good post and it also made me laugh! This summer is also slower than past summers based on my selling experience which is vast 🤓. Confidence level in the economy, stock market losses and slowing housing market all impacting buyer behavior... 
What's going on with the used audio gear market?
Used market is very slow right now.  I am seeing some very attractive prices also.  Don’t sense it is skewed on the high side.    
Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change
I have meet, enjoyed and learned from many great folks in this industry.  My experience has been very positive.

Sound quality of Roon
Ha! Do you use your Innuos as both core and end point? I also use Roon Squeezelite experimental mode for best sound out of Roon.   
Sound quality of Roon

Sternklang Cables
The XLR cables have 3 ribbon conductors if you look at various pictures on the web. So all good! Here is one such picture. Simply click on the XLR version on the bottom left of the page.  http://www.konus-audio.com/ephemera-interconnect-cable.htm...

Yes,  Hijiri power cords still in use in my whole system replacing my DIY Helix builds.  Love them! I am also using Hijiri speaker cables.     Also love Tchernov Ultimate USB and IC cables!

Great post Ralph!

Listening tests.  The best test of all.

Yes, it all matters. Better quality transformers, foil inductors, chassis IEC, resistors, caps, rectifiers and on and on…Sorry it’s not as simple or cut and dry as you would like to have it. Seems the world of audio and electronics is full of poss...
