Retired audiophile?
I’m with jafant,dopoque and others who find retirement a time for even more appreciation of music and quality of reproduction. Ever since assembling front end kits and loudspeakers and evaluating speaker wires,in my late teens,I’ve appreciated the... 
Isolation Transformers -- Equitech or Torus?
Dear Eniac. If you really want an answer you call the "dealer"; either before of after you call the manufacturer : )   
DEQX Beginner seeking advice
Hello Mike. I was the OP on a lengthy DEOX thread,perhaps the one you've seen. Countless gents graciously contributed to it. I would suggest you browse the thread and send questions to those who addressed your interests. Good luck. Pete

Why contact Equitech directly instead of a dealer? Would you call GM to for prices? Or perhaps a dealer? 
Any word of a new Oppo 105D,E,etc?
I read in another forum or article (don't remember exactly) that a new effort was coming in 2016. Anyone hear anything?

Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration
Also,forgot to mention. Re the floor; 3/8 plywood glued and screwed to the underside of the joists gives 'tremendous' boost to rigidity and is how I would go if building new or renovating today. Between floors I like a second layer of press fit in... 
non parallel walls in listening room

How does PONO compare? 
Tidal equivalent for Classical?

Tidal equivalent for Classical?
I like the repertoire of ABACUS on my laptop; don't have the hardware required to listen over my main system (I think I must change that soon). User supported but not subscription based so you can donate if you wish. Mozart,Beethoven,etc.
