Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live
This is a forum.  If someone wants to vent and post their experience and point out a company for their lack of customer service, it should be allowed.  There's already an issue with post removals without adequate explanations.  Now this thread is ... 
What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away
Audio Mart is underrated.  I don't get why anyone would want to fork over another unnecessary fee for what should be a free service.  
Amazon just killed Tidal
The way I see it - this kicks up the competition few notches.  God bless capitalism.  I paid $249.99/year @ Qobuz which I think is still too much. It should be ~ $10/month (gut feel, nothing else). I love Amazon for the fact that it equalizes pric... 
This on usb cables
Read/understand the fine print when borrowing from the lending library at the Cable Co.  They don't let you borrow cables for nothing - usually means that you end up buying cable from them at full retail price. Research + used cables seems like a ...

Caveat about the Cable Company return policy
Same thing happened to me and I ended up getting store credit.  I would order stuff (stylus gauge, cleaners etc) and it would take twice as long (~two weeks) to get the order.  Not worth it. Eventually used up all my credit and won't deal with the...

Music Direct - Audio Hardware Seller?
If you don't think that they gave you good service - find another vendor.  Most will match price - seems like Music Direct has a lower price.  You may also find a place that won't charge you sales tax if purchased from out of state. 
Agon changes
I get mine Thursday nights @ around 10:40 pm.  I'm in Los Angeles, CA.  Hmmm - I wonder if they mail at different times based on location?  
I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase
If you don't have anything constructive to say - move along.  Yeah - I'm talking to you bongofury!

are nbs cables neutral?
Not only you - according to Tabu, everyone is gay on this post (except me, I just joined). 
Tube Recommendation for ARC Ref Phono 2SE
Hi-Thanks. Googled the 6H30 DR's - ~$300 a piece.  Yipes, but I don't doubt that they sound great.  Any special place you got them?
