Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination.
The thread title caught my eye. I recently sold my PS Audio Directstream with Bridge and the PS Audio Memory Transport faster than I thought as I’m in the middle of an upgrade project. Since I had my HT in the same room, I simplified my home theat... 
Ethics are sliding by members!
A posting whether detailed or vague is not an entitlement to buy. If your selling something, you open yourself to everyone, no different than someone walking in a store. I will say most transactions go decent, there are always exceptions.  
Stillpoints - snake oil?
I am a Stillpoints user. Stillpoints recommends placing the Ultra SS or the more expensive Ultra 5’s under speakers first. I ignored this and isolated first with Ultra Mini (least expensive) under the components, but not the amps. I then added Ult... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
Their previous site allowed you to sort categories within a search, with some features that were not iPhone and iPad, despite that it was clean and easy to follow.the new site is hard on the eyes, not easy to use and really needs a classic button ... 
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
It’s been dubbed a hobby, right? Make your sound what what you want it to be, read, meet and discuss options. In the end Mick Jagger, nor anyone else for that matter cares other then the Audiophile Hobbyist, yeah? 
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
I do believe you can get more quality sound for less by addressing the power, room, and speakers. From there, add in the amps, sources and tweaks. All this can be picked up here on Audiogon and some reading to understand decent pairings for a grea...

Isn’t phony clones no different then getting out of the shower and putting on dirty underwear? 
What is an excellent power cable?
Distribution was indicated, and it’s important. It’s the beginning of the process to feed your equipment. You can begin by buying 1 cable and a good distribution outlet. These can also be picked up on the used market saving you money. From there g...

Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth?
Brands offer different levels of build, and cables, components, speakers, tweaks treatments and rhevroom will contribute in your overall sound.  With that being said, I recently swapped a reference line XLR from my DAC to Preamp (which yielded gre... 
PS Audio Direct Stream with Bridge II or Aurender N100H
The complete Aurender line is worthy IMO. While I do not have the N100H, I thought to mention the following...I run both Direct Stream with the Bridge II with latest firmware fed by a Mac Mini remotely staged running ROON and also MConnect for ful... 
Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members
If your selling, and we all have, and have a set what we believe is a fair price, then that’s our opinion. Buying used is just that and a buyer does not know the circumstance behind the sale, maybe your looking to unload, maybe your holding tight,... 
Audio cables ,and power cords the most forgotton- part of an Audio system.
If your into the hobby, and want to make the best of your system then you have to consider aftermarket options. I at first hesitated on pulling the trigger on cable and then changed course and don’t regret it, despite a ton of cash spent. All thin... 
Speaker recommendation for mc452 and C2600
You have good gear, consider Focal 1038's to match with it. I know a guy that may have a minty pair for sale. 😊
