Denver used market?
So sorry for your loss.  Best to you and the family. Check out The Music Room located in CO.  They buy and consign.   Good luck to you! https://tmraudio.com/sell-your-gear/    
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
I bought several of these Nordost copies with the understanding if they did not work out that they should not be resold.  At their prices this is still very low risk and not a big deal.  You may be a forthcoming seller and  honest that these are k... 
2024 Audio System Wish List
 My Decware Amp I ordered 2 years ago on Jan 5th, 2022!  
No sneering Please
Agreed @mahgister  I discount one-off reviews but when you have several excellent reviews and actual owners on forums giving thumb up on a of component then I take notice.  I bought my Warp 1 amp because I needed an amp while waiting for my Decwar... 
No sneering Please

Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator
Fiber optic definitely sounds better than without it on my set up as well.  I am using an LPS on both FMC’s but not on the router.  @ozzy It will be interesting to see if you hear improved results on your Fiber set up.    
Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator
Ok all is intriguing and it will be interesting to hear about the performance.  Would there be any benefit to installing an ethernet noise isolator if you have an optical set-up like mine? Thanks Mesh Router-ethernet cable-Fmc-optical cable-Fmc-e...
