Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon
All great points John. I like your comment on contacting sellers through Audiomart when the listing is found on both Agon and Audiomart.  
Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon
@jmcgrogan2 We both go way back with Agon as well as several others on this thread. I have to share the fact that Agon has placed two (x) marks against me because I shared my phone number with potential buyers of $7000 speakers. One more (x) and I... 
Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon
 Selling costs are too high now on gear that sells for several thousand and above. You cannot share your contact number and speak directly to a potential buyer unless you pay the full ad price upfront. Paying over $100 upfront for a listing that m... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks Al. I understand your comments and still question the ability of a 1 watt amp to scale large orchestral crescendos and the like. Many listeners do listen at weighted average db levels of 86-92db when off the leash. Peaks, clean peaks, would...

Al, what about dynamic headroom and the role it plays when listening to a particular style or type of music? Below is your explanation on how 1 watt can work with the DI speakers. However I see little mention of dynamic headroom in your comments b... 
Duelund DCA16GA
 Yes WE10 is still available on EBay. Great sounding wire for a steal of a price. 
Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO

@craig159Yes I use an upgraded power cord and one I have found to be very, very good.  Mike at Audio Archon can make you one using Furutech cable and high quality carbon cased connectors.  It is called the "blue" cord.  Stunning and affordable.  I...

Yes I use the Lyngdorf 2170 paired with a Music Vault Ultra Plus server.  The combo is wonderful. I use Tidal and my MV Ultra came with a lifetime  Roon membership. I ripped all my CDs into the MV Ultra also. Lyngdorf is using some SOTA technology... 
Tweaking my Merlin VSM-Mme's
Very nice indeed. Great part choices and it is amazing how these upgrades can really improve the sound of existing gear so wonderfully.  Enjoy!  
Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
Funny I have always had tubes in my rig. Like tube gear. Now no tubes and I listen even more. Depends on the system put together and it's resulting sound. Not a tube vs. SS issue always. We listen to complete systems right?
