Mad Scientist wires
I received a whole bunch of Bob’s M.S. stuff for over three years. Their not shipping speakers and amplifiers, just cables and small tweaks. They’re affordable and work great, MUCH better than the expensive stuff I had before. Basic shipping usual... 
The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers
Troels Gravesens website went to the favorites list, very good thread here, knowledgeable, experienced posters.Between this and the Pro-Amp thread I’m researching useful info. 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
Thanks to shadorne and audiotroy as david_ten said.My rig is built "exactly" as shadorne suggested, works perfect for me. 
High End Columbus, Ohio ?
Progressive, Golden Gramophone and Sound Resource, everything I loved. 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
I'm sure the Jay's Audio is a decent transport, but my CEC isn't going anywhere soon. 
Transport Accustic Arts
The older series Accustic Arts offered Drive 1 and 2 as Transports, no Dacs.The newer series are offered as Player 1 and 2, with Dacs.Myself, I would opt for a newer CEC belt drive and a quality digital cable.

It got a little ugly over here: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=158025.0 Suffering from cancer is nothing you want to witness, two of my buddies just passed from it, 60 and 61 years, watching their decline was horrible. RIP Dave Wilson.

New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Speakers and power cords for these, hmmm....... 
Which USB Cable to buy
RCA, Bob thinks the USB version sounds as good or better, email him. 
Which USB Cable to buy
2nd Mad Scientist, Carbon/Graphene FCG+ between Transport and Dac.Musically superior to every other I tried, incl. silver, copper, gold etc. 
Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members
Ask if "they" would be willing to sell one of "their" items to a lowball offer.
