Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I’ve owned Pass mono amps and a Pass integrated amp. Excellent amps. Earlier this year I picked up a Bryston 14Bsst2 amp to drive my Magnepan 20.1 speakers. With the Magnepans I prefer the Bryston to Pass. I agree with elizabeth’s suggestion to fi... 
Center channel speaker recommendations
Thanks for the recommendations. I thought I had the issue resolved when I had a local deal for a Kef R600c speaker but the seller damaged the speaker getting it out of storage.  
A trend I've noticed in ads.

Where to put one's best power cords??
I would put it on Audiogon, sell it and use the proceeds to purchase some music. That’s just me though.

Would the wireless KEF LS-50's be good front Home Theater speakers?
I can’t answer your question on integrating the KEFs in a home theatre system although I don’t see why they wouldn’t work. I purchased the KEF LS-50 W speakers for a second system a couple of months ago. Unlike freediver I find them to live up to ... 
Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205
Just placed an order through them now. Free shipping and they had about 50 in the warehouse but going quick I was told. You should be able to order with whoever answers. 
Oppo UDP-205 MQA Confusion
I called Oppo last week about another matter with my BDP-105 player. I asked about MQA capability on the new Oppo and was told exactly that, the player only reads MQA on a media file or CD. I understand some MQA CDs may be available and I assume d... 
Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you?
I’d like the pair of ears I had in my younger years. Great hearing and no more tinnitus! Then I’ll look at upgrading my system.

The seller has 5 positives with all sales at $1. The purchasers all have 4-5 reviews also. Looks and smells like a scam.
