Subwoofer tweaks
@secretguy - you responded to @9rw’s post from 18 years ago, better late than never, I guess  
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
If you have an item that is not generating the level of buyer interest you had hoped for, trading it in on something you want from TMR can help you off-load the gear you are having trouble selling while maybe getting a bit of a price break on what... 
Audio Mirror Wave DAC and Aries-Cerat Helene DAC
Even though I have had the Helene in my system for a couple of months now, life stuff has gotten in the way of a deeper dive of what I am hearing compared to other DACs I have owned.  Unfortunately, I have never heard one of the Audio Mirror DACs ... 
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
@mulveling  You just need to know your basis cost (including transaction costs) and approximate purchase date. I don't know how others do this hobby, but I'm in the red for every component I turnover so it's simple matter of recording the lines ... 
The death of ultra hiend audio
"Ego, greed and poor management can only result in one thing!" It appears those businesses may not have  acknowledged their situations soon enough and were not nimble enough to adjust to changes in their markets before costs got out of control.... 
??? Which Would You Buy ???
Assuming all three choices meet your expectations for sound quality and ergonomic interface, then pick the one likely to have the best resale value. Almost none of this stuff remains in an audiophile's system forever, no matter how often they tell... 
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
No reason to be perplexed/surprised.  It is their business model and they have been quite successful at it.  I have been treated respectfully every time I have bought/sold from them.  Each of my transactions have been seamless. You already have a... 
Seeking to upgrade from Weiss Dac 204
You have received some good suggestions, IMO.   I agree with trying the Mojo Audio Mystique X SE (R2R DAC) or current equivalent, and the Merason DAC1 MkII (hybrid BB chips).  Mojo offers a 45-day trial so you can have an extended trial in your o...

In Session - Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan  
Solid state preamp with a mono switch and remote
You might try contacting Arek Kallas at Hattor Audio (link) to ask if he could do what you need as a special project.  His main product line provides a high level of quality at reasonable prices.  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Some interesting points but it was clearly written by a cable manufacturer.  Would have been even more interesting had they said, "we put a comprehensive loom of our competitor's midrange products up against a mismatch of our reference products, ... 
Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
@ronboco  I was surprised at the number of high dollar systems that aren’t in dedicated spaces with the importance of the room. I can only speak for myself, but I prefer a multi-use type room since I am often engaged in other activities or pro... 
Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
I enjoy looking at the systems but I respect that posting system pictures and/or details is a personal choice and not everyone wants to share that information.  However, seeing somebody's system does help me understand the perspective behind their... 
Hattor Audio Autoformer Reference Preamplifier
@atmasphere - Ok, fair enough. If you have more than a passing curiousity, I suggest reaching out to one of the designers that I listed.  I would suggest Dave Slagle at Intact Audio and EM/IA, since many seem to use his autoformers.  If you find o...
