High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
Really nice system! I have Pass amps but the 509Z has my interest for sure. Hard to beat the TAD's if your budget allows.  
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
$50k buys you a lot of speaker new or used. Call Mike Powell @11stereo.com. His F&F lineup is very good and he always has high end used gear for sale. I have made several purchases from him and he is good people.    
Solo streamer
PS Audio Air Lens or Musica Pristina A Capella 3. Both are great stand alone streamers

Thanks Clayton Looks like your latest offering is a huge success as you well deserve! Glad for the customers it's not a 2 year wait list like Decware has (or had) Good to hear :-)  
Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why?
Alpha Labs just did a video on them and yes they do a lot of good things. Whether they help in any particular situation of course is up to the owner to decide. I have several of them and like what they bring to the experience. For me they are mu... 
Listening Room
MBL speakers will also work well in that situation  
Opinions about Daniel Hertz
Back to the beginning. Has anyone here actually herd the Maria amp driving a set of hi quality speakers (not ML)? TIA  
Looking for the next level in imaging...

Send it in and have them update it for you if the update is something that you want to have done.  
Long run XLR cables
The Belden BAV are a really good mid level cable. Iconoclast are the best but not as flexible as the BAV.  
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
70/30 or 80/20 in favor of the DAC. For $15k you might look at the streaming DAC's in that price range. Happy hunting!  
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
@tcutter  Thanks. It's probably the single best value along with highest SQ addition that I have purchased for my system. A truly amazing piece.  
Are You a Swifty?
Of course I'm a Swiftie. :-)

Playback Designs MPD-8. It simply plays music at the highest level of enjoyment. I no longer think about anything but the music. It's the last DAC I plan on owning.  
The Music Room
@geof3  Well said and correct. The market will find a way to place a value on items that you want to buy or sell (whether you think it's fair it or not). :-) Most used items will net you 30% to 50% of retail. Some less than 30% and not many more...
