seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget)
On the Used market for around $14k you can get Wilson Benesch in Discovery that will fall in your price range, big thumbs up for a 2.5 that provides bass.  
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
What a great read through all the comments.  I downsized this something from Von Schweikert VR 5SEs to Silverline 20s with subs and then upgraded to Wilson Benesch Discovery ii this week.   I bought my Von Schwiekerts on reviews and found they wer... 
Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500?
Sony offers a Bluetooth TT (PS-LX310BT Turntable with Bluetooth® connectivity $200) that is decent for a novice and pairs directly with a Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM ($400) and could be shipped new to Japan for under $1500.  
Audio Research equipment for sale.
I have enjoyed AR equipment for many years.  Started with a modded LS-16 by The Great Northern Sound Company (Steve Huntley- fantastic preamp that comes in handy on occasion) then a phono PH-6 that I sold.  I have a pair of mono AR amps (vm-220) t... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
I know that this may sound strange, but where a problem exist, there maybe an exciting opportunity.  The market maybe rough right now, but might a conglomeration of individuals come together to emerge this Phoenix.  I would be happy to speak with ...

Looking for a tube phono pre
I love the aesthetix Io but settled for the Herron, call him up and have him configure for audiophile (he has two tube configurations).  For the price you can’t go wrong.  I went down the rabbit hole in 2016 and have probably dropped $45k into my ... 
Top 3 Headphones
I enjoy in my top three to be the focal Utopia, DanClark Audio Stealth, and the Meza Audio Elite.  DCA are approaching the Utopias for a closed can and non fatiguing for late night deep dives.  Happy listening  
Looking for a new phono preamp
+1 with the Herron.  I tried several (SS and tubes) and decided from the comments in this group to give it a try.  I bought a used one that Keith upgraded to 2a status.  Dead quiet and Keith is a resource. Anytime I have called, Keith has personal... 
Core Audio Designs and SolidSteel HF Racks .....thoughts and opinions
I have several of Arnold's offerings and love the look and sound of his products.  I even have the twig headphone stand and it is a showpiece.  Arnold does exceptional work and his products have stood the test of time.  Worth investigating and the... 
Phonostage recommendations under $3K
Ok, I had my Herron phono back from Keith for a month with new tubes and 2A upgrade. Very impressed with the product and support Keith provides. Warm, dead quiet and easy to use and set-up! For $2500 on the used market, this is a no-brainer. I wil...

I'm late to the game, but live in Campbell.  Yes, when COVID gives a break, I would be interested in learning from those around the South Bay.

Headphones? 
How do I pay?
I came across a seller who had a great price on a Shunyata Research Triton v1 and typhon.  He then made up excuses on why he didn't want to use paypal and said "I'll just send them to you and when it arrives, send a check".  Weeks went by and afte...
