Thanks, Phil. Your system must sound superb. Do you still use the JVC from time to time? Something like the 851N may be in my future and I agree with you on the SS storage, having been involved in PACS implementations in Radiology departments wher... 
I want to dump my Oppo; but...
That looks like a wonderful piece of equipment. When your listening are you using a laptop to navigate or do you program a playlist and sit down and enjoy? 
I want to dump my Oppo; but...
I tried burning some of my USB files on a DVD with some success this evening; but that alone wouldn't solve the problem, since much of the best music is FLAC or DSD; which I think the Ayre won't handle anyway. It seems the best idea is going to be... 
I want to dump my Oppo; but...
Thank you both for your help. I should have mentioned that I'm not all that swift when it comes to digital. The QX-5 Twenty has a tiny scree and I don't see any HDMI or video out. So how would I see and navigate from my listening chair?And the onl... 
Is it all in my head??
@roberjerman : " Now if someone snuck in overnight and replaced that new PC with the cheap original one (and you didn't notice), it is most likely that you would not hear any difference from the day before!"" If PC's made a difference why are al... 
Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment?
I wouldn't get it on the velvet RVM brush. It might be OK; but I don't know. Can you remove the brush while you apply the LAST?  
Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment?

Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Are you familiar with Primare's UFPD power technology? Is it pure Class D or something else? 
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
Get mine, get mine! Get what I got and validate my decision.  ;^)But seriously, I looked into the Class D suggested by @rar1 an was amused to find this in one of the reviews:" I bought a pair of Totem Dreamcatcher speakers two weeks ago and the n... 
Hi Fi Tuning fuses
"that’s why I included ...... among the mossbacks"  @geoffkait , I haven't heard that term in ages! Brings back great memories. You must be a bass angler." I felt it improved the dynamics in my Cary tube amp but only if installed in the proper di... 
Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment?
@blueranger , I am curious why you only use Gruv Glide on your most worn records? I was/am a big fan of Sound Guard back in the day. The LPs I treated are still new looking and sounding. I was hoping Gruv Glide was a vert similar product.As for my... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
If one spends obscene amounts of money on a class A amp his or her ability to hear virtue in a class D, I think, is somewhat compromised. The OP said he hears something wonderful. I see no reason to rain on his or her parade. Enjoy the hell out of... 
A problem with AC Power you may not have considered.
" Stick with plain, old school incandescent bulbs"Getting harder and harder to find at Home Depot. I could always just listen in the dark.

Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice?
I think the Wiremold tip is very useful. And of course, I totally agree with Inna.
