@erik_squires . Like to improve my Oppo 205 without any upgrades. Just read about Berkeley as I'm considering dac upgrade ( or Spectral spinner). Still love disc movies on my Sony 4k. Mu metal for transformer 'may' be interesting. I'm just getting... 
TAS. The Absolute Sound?
@ bdp24.I too feel pricing is extreme. But, there are people with the money & desire to create and buy " the ultimate". I think now more than ever. My buddy drives a Brabus Mercedes G Wagon. Spent big bucks. It's the least comfortable vehicle ...

Stolen property

TAS. The Absolute Sound?
Interesting takes; thanks for the comments. I'm just getting back to music enjoyment and part of my effort for good sound is learning from the various reviewers; and of course my (asylum :)  classmates here at Audiogon and elsewhere. The Wadax "to... 
Amp — Leave on or turn off
Turn it off.   
Stolen property
I'm interested in buying.  
Use escrow service to pay for speakers?
Audiogon . Feedback is not always a reliable resource, I've heard. I have not registered with Paypal. In fact do virtually zero online banking. Hoping to pay by a secure method. I doubt individuals use cards? Will check that, thanks.
