Why the cost increase?
Not this garbage again the election was not rigged and nothing devilboy said in his post actually happened. The possible exception being Republican poll watchers possibly being kicked out of polling places which is because they practice voter inti... 
Gryphon Mephisto
I believe the OP means Gryphon is building his Pandora that he just ordered. 
Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo?
The original EX-M1 was introduced in 2017. The newly updated EX-M1 — without the “+” — costs $2398 and includes, among other things, changes in the power supply, capacitance, and the volume control, the latter now using a MUSES72320 controller... 
JBL Olympus C-50 loudspeakers
So the speakers are hooked up to a receiver and are playing music I'm not sure I understand your question? If you want to use the Model 7, which as stated above is a preamp, you will need an amplifier to pair with it. 
Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust!
Pretty sure I had that 14 years ago when I still had a turntable.

@verdantaudio what room were you at CAF and will you be there this year? 
Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment.
Yes it's possible but only up to a point which is a good thing. If you have a good source your system will continue to improve and reveal more as you build around it.  The same holds true if it's a crappy source and great speakers or whatever comp...

@tablejockey I went on their website looking for that fire hazard err power cable, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this news. Looks like wisely they stopped making them. 
LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps
I agree with Larry DHT's in a pushpull configuration can sound pretty special. I'm currently listening to a pushpull 2a3 amp with vintage Acrosound transformers and it sounds spectacular with 93db sensitive speakers. 
Mapleshade-Pierre Sprey
I was unaware of his passing and also his background in the defense industry. RIP Pierre. 
Premature gear defenestrations
LMAO. Also I've never, that I know of, thrown a piece of gear out a window. 
Sonus Faber vs Wilson
What amp are the Wilson's being driven with? I know the Diablo is a large heavy amp but would you be able to drag it over to your dealers? 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
I was born in 1969 I believe that makes me GenX and I at least caught the Dead 40some times in the 80s and 90s. And I don't feel I've missed out on much I can listen to music recorded in the 60s and 70s whenever I want. 
THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME
Just wondering how much could the tax on the profits of two Primalunas a pair of Klipsch and some Jolida piece be? I get that it sucks but if you can't prove your loss just pay up. Maybe if the IRS had actual funding they wouldn't need to go after... 
Speaker Road Trip
