A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
Holy crap, the question is a book, and so is at least one response. I have not had coffee yet, no way can I even start to read all that....good luck.  
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
I'm immersed in the music with just 2 tannoy speakers....  
Is low cost DAC worth it?
Can’t go far wrong with the musical fidelity v90 dac. Stereophile high class B, low class A component. I’ve had mine for Years and I love it.  
Audio / Stereo Rack
I’d rather just use a piece of furniture that will accommodate what I have or at least most of it. Much cheaper, and the benefit in sound is pretty slight if not negligible to justify an expensive audio rack. I’m just using a sideboard typically u... 
Ruminations On CD Players
Cyrus makes some nice stuff, I have their transport. Also have a Marantz hdcd-1 which is a good cd player as well as a transport.  
How serious are you?

Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner.

UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
I’ll bet they played football with it too at the warehouse before delivering it...they don't care about anyone's package.  
Wall outlets
Audioquest NG Edison is a nice receptacle. Grips like a gorilla.   
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
Tannoy legacy eatons, will keep them around for a very long time...plus I'm Broke   
Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
Maybe your just Broke, not Broken...😁  
Matching the cartridge to the phono stage
I keep it simple...I use both a Denon 103 and a Hana el. These cartridges are pretty close as far as what loading they require or is recommended (400 ohms). I use a USA made Jensen SUT into my tubed Tavish phono's MM section. Sounds Dann good to m...
