Don't do me any favors
No shooting. I was handing you the bullets :-) I have no issues with automated filtering. That requires a breach of privacy. The reading of messages assumed private, that is a big no-no.  
Don't do me any favors
That said, i am much more concerned when PRIVATE communication is viewed, hosted by a private site or not ... This appeared when I opened a PM, the first I received from that member. VERY VERY VERY NOT COOL!    
What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
@nonoise , There must be 100 different Adirondack chairs on the market. I am sure I tried about 20 of them. Some of them are outright uncomfortable to sit on. With the right one, it is amazing how comfortable a chair with no padding can be. The k... 
What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
@polkalover  - :-)   There is some truth though. I have at triple recliner (modular). I like to share my music, but I also like to have the best seat in the house at times (and we use the room for movies too). Leather every where else in the ho... 
DAC diminishing returns
@sns If you are building a minimalist system, built in volume control on a DAC\Streamer could be a huge cost savings. Then you have something like the Weiss 502 DAC mentioned above. Initially the price seems quite high, and I would say purely for ... 
Don't do me any favors
I find the process of out-right deleting threads to be disrespectful to forum users. People invest time, often significant, into responding to threads. When a thread is summarily deleted, that time is essentially stolen from them. I don't consider... 
DAC diminishing returns
@firstgrowth , the 502 looks like a cool toy. I mean that in a good sense. Do you personally set and forget it or change the settings to match the music?  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
This was solved many posts ago. It was not a DAC issue.  
High resolution audio on a PC questions
@oahenkepi  Really it comes down to your PC (or laptop) and headphones. I have head computers with dead silent outputs (MAC) or ones with audible power supply whine. The other issue I have run into is inability to drive cleanly at high volume tho... 
DAC diminishing returns
I don't know ghdprentice, I had my audiophile epiphany after I got rid of the "big buck" esoteric stuff and started taking the time to really learn what was required for good sound, and paying someone who knew their stuff to get me there. It took ... 
New equipment
@phillyb  and the elephant in the audiophile room, is that if you don't fix the room, and spend real dollars there, the sound you will get will plateau. No amount of money, no fancy cables, no power conditiondf, no tubes in your DAC, no new cartri... 
E-bay and its sellers
What real issue @autospec ?   That you tried to make a buck at someone else's expense with a low ball offer and got called out on it?   It's all about perspective.  
Isn't it really about quality of recording?
@rumi    Thank you for your post!  
How Audiphiles are Different
Your speakers absolutely should not distort at all. If they do, then they are not going to accurately reproduce the distortion of the recorded instrument. If you want to recreate that instrument as you claim you cannot be adding additional distort... 
E-bay and its sellers
Based on the information available: The OP is a business and his goal on eBay is to buy low so that he can sell to someone else high (potentially adding no value in the process). He makes an insulting offer (based on an end user expected resale ...
