Streamer Recommendations
@brbrock take a quick read on this thread https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/why-i-sold-my-aurender-n200 I'd suggest a dac with built-in streamer. Doesn't have to be a Bricasti there are many great combo units too choose. I'm sure some of the... 
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
I've asked my dealer if I can do better streaming from my Bricasti M3 and has told me "maybe" for 15-20k additionally. He said just enjoy your music and if you really want better or different try the Bricasti M21. Love honest dealers.  
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
In my experience they can change the sound but not saying better or worse. Although several ac cords have done wonders and wouldn't think twice about spending $$$ for one.  
Why bogus retail price from some sellers?
@winoguy17 I've done the same to 2 different sellers. Still they never changed the price. Still the products went unsold.

Read this review: https://www.stereotimes.com/post/cs-port-static-demagnatizer Also DS Audio makes a similar product.  
Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker?
I heard these here in MA at Goodwin's. Bass was a bit muddy and even told the rep who said "yeah a bit" but everything is is fine! Once heard it was hard for me to ignore.

Tom Evans Phono Preamp Repair
Great video and some interesting info but not surprisingly what was found inside. I would like to hear from actually owners of this phono unit for their thoughts on its sonics.  
Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)?
Another shout out to the Bricasti M5. Roon ready, made in USA and fantastic support.  
TL Electronics
@black73 have you reported this info to Audiogon? Why is he still active?  
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
I've never owned Harbeth's but have heard them dozen of times at shows, at a local dealer and a good buddy ownes the 40.1. Just not my cup of coffee, seems too colored and honestly WAY overpriced. (But what high end equipment isn't). Have you list... 
It is December 1, 2024 - Do you know where your Caladans are????
$3500 speakers and you've waited over 1 yr! Maybe for 50 -75k speakers I'd wait that long but $3500? Call and request/demand your funds be returned. Not worth the anxiety IMHO    
Phono stage for second system
How about a Gold Note PH-10. With a discount it's one of the best versatile units I've heard IMO.  
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
+1 @john1 you are 110% correct. NO phono # NO value of what he talks about. Seems he only wants $$$$$ gear to say "Hey look what I have!" BFD
