My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable.
Great story. God bless you and I wish you many, many happy record album spins on your Luxman. I would have done the same think you did. 
Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2?
I bought my 2ce SigII’s from a dealer and they have both the 30th Anniversary decal and Richards signature. I could not part with them unless I bought the Quatro CT Wood. I would agree with the earlier comment that they sound better with each incr... 
Want to get into Analog
Two things come to mind when reading this posts...One, nostalgia and profit drive much of the comeback of analog turntables and vinyl. Much like the comeback of the Volkswagen Beetle and the Chrysler PT cruiser, auto manufacturers capitalized on t... 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
n80”The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care”Emily DickinsonYes he hit the nail on the head. We hear what we want to hear. There are as many different signature sounds coming from different DAC designed chips, different DAC configu... 
Please, help me to pick the right center and surround speaker for my home theater
Generally speaking, it is important to keep all speakers in the same family. When you hear a soundtrack of 5.1 or 7.1 or so forth the sound effects can move from speaker to speaker. Think of a missle sound going from the front speakers to the back...

Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile?
Better CD players, better turntables, better amps, hi-res, streaming, many kinds of speakers to choose from. Music access anywhere and virtually anything. The comeback of tube amps......yes, YES it is a wonderful time to be an audiophile. 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Noble100 has given the best advice. Your first answer had me on the floor laughing. Your second answer much more diplomatic and polite.Thank you Noble100. 
New speakers? No thanks.
Yes to the above poster, since most speakers need more power. But one needs CLEAN power and that often comes at at price. What was that Nelson Pass rule, if the first Watt is not right, all the others that follow will be wrong? Someone correct my ...

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighshad to throw that one in.

Perhaps others can chime in, but I think you need a router. 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
BTW the posts so far are leaning away from the idea that one amp "rules" them all. Audiophiles here are offering different amps and I will predict that list will get longer. I doubt you will come to a consensus on ONE amp.
