Why a dearth of some brands on the used market?
@bluethinker66-  It did take some tweaking from my original purchases to get things "right" though.                                                      Of course!     One good aspect of buying cabling from known/reputable/highly regarded com... 
Why a dearth of some brands on the used market?
        Personally: Finding something that works well in my system(provides enhanced musical enjoyment/makes reproduction more realistic), insures it's retention.  
What is the proper loudness for listening?
                             How LARGE do you like your music?      Unless a system can cleanly reproduce all the information (well engineered/recorded in an environment with good acoustics and mic placement) in a quality cut, to the original/int...

FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
@carlsbad ​​​ & @mbolek (et alia)-        It's dismaying, the number of those that refuse* to acknowledge the blatant facts & obvious truths regarding energy, inflation and the commie agenda.             JUST POLITICS?     NO (it's our c... 
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?
    OK, so: I never followed up on the guano-based teas or salad dressing, over the past 15 years.      However: my research has revealed what may be the best reason extant, for the mass consumption of cheeses and yogurt.                        ... 
Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from?
     He's been dead fourteen years and his perspectives trouble you?      I'd formed/held those same opinions, years before his first article.                        It was good to finally see them in print.  
Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First?
"I’m perplexed as to why a seller does not consider the reliable Audiogon Blue Book as a guide..."      Isn’t the AudiogoN Blue Book a pay-to-play (gotta have a subscription/membership) affair?                                          My guess...

Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered?
@allenf1963 -      My guess would be (IF the B does mean, "B Stock"): the seller doesn’t want to make that common knowledge, for obvious reasons.                                                 Caveat emptor      
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
@normb - Of course, those among the audioscenti here who have golden or platinum ears and hearing BEYOND that of mere mortals will argue to the contrary. But… that’s what they do. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to keep convincing yourself ... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
@normb (et al) -        It's sad that so many of you naysayers refuse to acknowledge the FACTS of so simple an issue.         NO ONE is attempting to place themselves above another, or claiming to have, "golden ears".         In your haste to j... 
In a speaker crossover, are film inductors directional or have polarity?
     As mentioned: you must be referring to film capacitors, as there are no film inductors.     You’ll find your answer here: https://audience-av.com/a_applications/      There are FOIL inductors, to which you may be referring.     Their orien...
