Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
The rules of this test wouldn’t even pass My seventh grade science class 
Buying used: how old is too old?
Look at the guy you’re buying them from. If he’s an older fella and he listens to classical music poor Teppy is a young dude who is the head banger I would rather buy from the old guy. 
Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects
Buy a Macintosh preamp. It has these adjustments called tone controls and they allow you to make adjustments on the fly for poor recordings and little things like cables. Cables are not tone controls. I thought I was going crazy reading this threa... 
The best $99 system upgrade ever!
I got it! Take the earwax and use it instead of the $600 contact enhancement stuff.  
Best DAC?
Meitner ma3 
Best affordable XLR?
I went to Amazon And I couldn’t hear the difference 
Best DAC?
Used BRICASTI m1 or m3.  I just got a Meitner ma3 and cannot believe the difference from my last 3 dacs ive bought and sold. Amazing

Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner.
Blue sound Is the perfect place to start. You could buy used on the music room website for around $300 
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up
Drink when listening to the Sopras and sober with the 1028s. If that doesn’t work call 330-253-8181. That’s the phone number for AA .lol 
Quality of Cables When Bi-Amping
I have bi-amped for years. Mc275 on top mc501 bottoms. I couldn’t tell the difference between expensive speaker cables and 12 gauge speaker wire. So I went with a 12 gauge speaker wire Ed put the extra money towards a better dac.  
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
You know what this reminds me of? Remember going to the mall as a 10 year old kid in the 70s let’s say, that’s my generation and picking out new sneakers? Cell the sales person puts the shoe on your foot and then they always pushed on your big toe... 
Does a wired streamer sound a LOT better than a wireless connection?
Yes 
You mean someone buys this stuff?
I don’t know if the guy is selling anything but check out the button for the press on his website. He’s gotten coverage from all over the world. 
So how can a great system solve less than great recordings
Get ROON, can use the digital equalizer to fix the poor quality. It works great
