Recommendation for stylus for Shure V15 type III SuperTrackPlus
The JICO SAS stylus I bought from LP Gear had the same part number and was the same price as ordering from JICO. Shipping was a little cheaper from LP Gear. Where did you get that "information" chakster?

SACD or not
I don't listen to SACDs very often.  Some of the ones I have sound worse (some of the Japanese SHM SACDs I have) while some sound great.  I haven't done any back to back comparisons of a SACD and the same CD.  I think it's a nice to have.  I have ... 
Subwoofer rumble issue

You might give one of the newer Peachtree units a try, like the Nova 300. I use mine in my home office.  I haven't compared my Orchid to the DAC in the Peachtree with the same components,  but I think it would be close, with the edge going to the ...

Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate

@slaw I am a big Tom Petty fan also and miss him.  I have the Best of Everything box set that I bought a while ago.  I have not been able to bring myself to unwrap it yet.
