KISEKI PURPLE NS your reviews....
I have the Kiseki Blue NS and it's the best cartridge I own.  Sound quality can't be touched by any of my other cartridges, however they are mostly in the $500 - $1000 range.  Closest thing I have to compare it to is my Van Den Hul MC TWO, a HOMC ...

The Doors - Strange Days, Qobuz Hi-Res 
Upgrade from Cambridge CXN
Mark,I'm using the NT-505 with my tube preamp, but am using it as a streamer only.  If you want to connect something to the DAC, you would connect the TEAC to your preamp as a source, set the TEAC's volume to full and use the volume control on you...

Tomic, I have subscriptions to Tidal, Pandora, Spotify, and Qobuz.  Qobuz is the one I listen to the most.   
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
I prefer not to buy anything from Amazon.  I ordered the XLO Test CD from Elusive Disc for $23.79 (including shipping).  They were in stock for a minute, looks like they're out again.
