DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
@audition_audio but who even cares/reads ASR reviews!  
Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge
I've bought 2 used cartridges from my local dealer, Sounds Of Silence, with terrible excitement and always the items were as described. No issues just good music.  
Okki Nokki or kirmuss audio / isonic ultrasonic rcm?
I had a Kirmuss and while it cleaned records fine it was a PITA to use. Has like 25 steps so it becomes a real chore and only after I cleaned 7 or 8 records it just sat and I never used it. Sold it and would never us a Kirmuss again.     
Need Advice Asap - Terrible experience with a seller on Reverb (Iso Acoustics Gaia ii)
OP please inform the Agon community who this seller is so we can avoid him/her.  
Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough?
Agree with your analogy but most in this hobby and especially at your level look to get another 1% maybe 2% and if lucky 3-4% improvement out of their next upgrade. You asked the question and have choices.  
Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough?
Agree with @pennfootball71 your speakers deserve better. Maybe a Soulution amp? Bricasti M28’s? Or Gryphon. So many choices. Yes Pass are good but....  
Recommend an MC cartridge
@dwcda would like to see those issues regarding SoundSmith. Maybe a customer had an issue but if Peter L didn't resolve the issue well that would totally surprise me.   
Recommend an MC cartridge
@rhg3 +1 for SoundSmith cartridges  
4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB
I've heard the 4Point9 at my dealers over 20 times with many different cartridges. Sound is always amazing and the difference in cartridges is easily heard. It will be my next arm.  
Discount on Internet order
I'd really be interested in hearing what piece of gear @dwcda is referring to. Has it been discontinued? B stock? Open box? Dealer demo? Curious minds would like to know  
Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together
@ozzy from what I can tell the Telos Mini Q has not been discontinued.  https://telos-audio.com.tw/mini-quantum-resonator/ I still use them and would not take them out.     
Digital Path to Complete my System
OP look into the new Bricasti M1 that recently came out. Or any of the Bricasti dacs would be an end game.  
VPI to What
VPI is OK but getting a bit stale IMO. Kuzma would be a good alternative.  
Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ?
@greenngoldcheesehead I'd be sending a note directly to the manufacturer explaining the details. See what they have to say.
