CD's or Vinyl?
If you're a masochist then go for vinyl. It's exorbitantly priced now at $35-$100 per album so you can agonize over each purchase. Recording quality is all over the map so you can rush home to play your new $40 album to find its often highly compr... 
Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?
Don't take this the wrong way but why wouldn't simply make this decision rather than posting it on a forum for strangers (53 of them) to opine on? Do what feels right, safe and smart. Good luck.   
Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some?
Why are you asking? Are the reviews not credible enough? Are you too nervous to pull the trigger on a relatively inexpensive highly reviewed and credible product? Not sure what the handwringing and complaining from the others commenting here is ab... 
Mcintosh xr 100 speakers
zero credible reviews out there and Mcintosh is NOT known for their speakers.   
New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details
Nice Schitt Ad!  
Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus
I've had the same issue with Roon for three years and don't believe its anything to do with the Nucleus. I have mine hardwired and have my Lumin P1 hardwired. The only conclusion I've arrived at is the Eero mesh system I use must be routing my lap... 
Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas
I had the Sabrinas on a Pass 250.8 and they're great. I eventually upgraded to Sasha 2. I use Transparent for interconnects and speaker wire, sometimes swapping to Straightwire for speakers. I'd go for the higher quality wires. On a secondary syst... 
Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks!
How exactly are you hearing/determining a board inside the amp is vibrating ? If this system is on and making music (causing vibration), how would you hear that the board is moving ?   
Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers
JL audio CR1. The best. Check out the reviews.   
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
hmmm, gouging ? resist with your wallet- if people stop buying at absurd price points, prices decrease.   
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
I'd love to know the actual numbers of 75k speakers sold annually in the US, that and how many 100k amps. I think the absurdly high priced components must sell in the few dozens annually.   
Sellers Beware
Yep, I read that, pretty common for "offers" to ghost, serious conversations to stall, the OP sounds wounded and upset when if he's sold "quite a bit" should be unfazed and move on imo. To each their own.  
Sellers Beware
Uh yeah, I did. And my response is in line with others observing that it’s typical that people often window shop and never complete a transaction. But, based on your 5067 posts here I’m guessing you’re going to critique my answer. How does one fin... 
Sellers Beware
So basically you're upset and posting because someone inquired about your speakers and then went dark and didn't buy them from you right?    Have you ever sold anything here or online before or is this your first time - your post suggests it mig... 
Seller Silence
You want to be able to leave poor feedback for someone you didn't transact with because they didn't answer your question? This isn't facebook where you engage furiously with people at will. P.S. You don't know that used gear is no longer covered b...
