Advice for a new analog system
I would caution that while I would agree largely with @rauliruegas with both his recommendations on Simaudio and the PS Audio Stellar Phono, the performance is relative to their price points. The Stellar Phono is one of the best solid state phono ... 
Another cable question
@bikeboy52 I'm both a DH Labs and Aurender dealer. I like the Mirage USB cable a lot for the money. I even purchased a Synergistic Research Galileo SX USB cable, as I do utilize the Galileo SX line for most of my loom. I could not tell the differe... 
Room sizes, 14x22(ceiling 8) vs 12x16(ceiling 7 1/2)
@jumia What speakers do you have?  
Why limit yourself to one streaming service?
One thing I've learned about people "who have the money". They have money becuase they spend less than they need to. This includes multiple subscription services including streaming. Luckily, I just share family subscriptions with my brothers on Q... 
A Word Of Thanks

Advice for a new analog system
Thank you, @vonhelmholtz for your comments and for bringing this thread to my attention. @ftrot, your system is made of incredible components and is worthy of the investment you are willing to make for a vinyl rig. I don't come across many who pa...

T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
In reality, the 3000 HV “system” can drive any speaker with ease. While the stereo amp itself is incredible, I didn’t realize just how much of a benefit the optional PS 3000 HV power supply added to the level of control and tone to the A 3000 HV a... 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
@steve59 I have a customer that uses a full 3000 HV stack (MP, P, A, and PS) with KEF Blades and he is very, very happy with the electronics matching. Thyname has a good suggestion to use the PA 3100 HV with a separate DAC (consider the T+@ DAC 2... 
Two power amps for Magnepan 1.7i ?
@cbordian To answer your question without swaying you to keep amps or move to different one or two: While cranking up the volume on your NAD may give you the adequate output gain and SPL overall, it may not have the overall headroom to handle the... 
New DAC or New Streamer?
@fthompson251 I am an Aurender dealer, but audiophile first, so take this with a grain of salt. I used to own a Modwright-modded CXN V2, the one with a tube stage, in a second system. While the upgraded DAC section was quite good, the streamer was... 
AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection
@xboom Just for clarification, not that many DACs will reclock an AES signal. With the AES interface, the clock from the digital source is preferred and the internal DAC clock is generally not utilized. Of course, with USB, the DAC reclocks with i...
