Infection, I thought you were humorous, nothing more.

Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
I applaud you, Bob, for your post. Most people wouldn't venture into that territory due to the overemphasis that's been done in the name of sound staging all these years. I used to think it was one of the end alls to all end alls and thankfully, r... 
I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history.....
Garebear- I hear you. The fact that my speakers aren't moving may compel me to just bite the bullet and list them here. I really don't need the money (no jokes please) as I've had these listed for about a year and a half and have gotten used to th... 
I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history.....
I have ads on Usaudiomart as well and sold one item that was hard to sell due to it’s uniqueness (Burson Integrated) within a few months and have yet to sell another because I won’t risk damage to it from shipping (Tonian Labs speakers), though I’... 
Recommendations for IC and speaker cable
Zu Audio still have their Event Mk.1 speaker cables at discount. They are a great find.As for ICs, try out the Darwin Ascension line.There is a 30 day trial period with the Darwins and I believe that although the Zus are at a discount, there is st...

Raven Audio Tube amps
The sound of the Raven amps, preamps and Raven gear matched with the Legacy V speakers at the recent Newport Show was some of the best sounds there. Big, but effortless, which made it so natural sounding. It made my wallet hurt just to listen.All ... 
Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired?
Yes. Until I found the best single cable for my system, I had it bi-wired using two different makes to achieve the best sound. I just made sure to use bananas for one run and spades for the other. Or, you can use bare wire and spades, or bare wire... 
Considering buying a CD transport
If all you want to do is play CDs, this, from Sparkler Audio comes under your budget. I listened to it through headphones at the Newport show and it sounded rather nice.The designer used to work with 47 Labs and you can see it in his model.It come... 
Interconnects between Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp. and Odyssey Khartago Amplifier
Rogue Audio's owner recommended Darwin ICs to a reviewer which led me to buy three sets and I couldn't be happier. After the first two sets I moved up to his higher end line for my SACD player and there was a noticeable improvement. His basic line... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Geoff, you're right. My bad. If anyone, I should know this as I used to work in a capacitor factory (my first job) and was knocked out by a 1,000 volt discharge. Upon awakening, I was told, "It's the amps that'll kill ya."I guess I suppressed  tha... 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
This has turned into one hell of a pissing contest. Several times the streams have crossed in general agreement (not necessarily on things audio) but the animosity that has built up and the innate hubris seems to have blinded the participants to t... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Wolf, I agree that a lot of this is hype. Lightning strikes can have as much as 1,000,000 volts so twice that for a fuse is just what it sounds like, hype. Everything would melt no matter how it was applied. But it doesn’t negate the positive resu... 
Scansonic MB 3.5 review
Very nice review indeed. Also, great point in the lesson that when it comes to speakers, aside from placement, just the time it takes to break them in can be a chore. I've read too many ads here on A'gon where someone has a "like new" speaker for ...
