Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Magnepan recommends AB amps but acknowledges that some newer D amps might work well

They do it on eBay all the time simply by raising their price 13%

Again, to me, only final price matters   I know others feel differently

I know there was a long recent debate on added fees. I only care about delivered price  agree that adding on Audiogon fees is quite annoying and becoming more common

Magnepan and bridged amps rarely a good match

I have a pair of LRS on order and Magnepan told me they really like 250-300 4 ohm watts per channel

I think there are valid reasons to use make an offer, but ad should state price is firm.

I think that's why some sellers block low-ballers...

I have had a few lowballers who continued to make super low offers, maybe $10 more each time...quite annoying...I never comment when declining a low ball offer 
Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!)
Agree with above. Same for my Sonos.  Such high jitter sent to DAC. With Wyred4Sound modified Sonos a better DAC made a significant difference.

and interestingly the DAC is unchanged from the 2 to 2i...

The Yggy and Node Dac have never sounded identical to me.  Agree many low cost DACs sound quite good. But each different nonetheless

I’m surprised with your system that you cannot hear any difference. We all have different preferences but it’s surprising they sound identical to you.  
A moderate priced dac
get a new Denafrips Ares ll 
connecting Bluesound node 2i streamer to old system
no offense meant, I feel the same about my Sonos, tweaks or wifi/ethernet don't have a great effect on it's sound, so I do wifi because it's easier...I believe theoretically a direct connection works best but can add other problems and costs that ...
