Just got a Schiit Yggdrasil
Lol, I know the feeling of having to do the honey dos when trying to critically listen. Have fun with the new gear! I'm a big fan of what Schiit is doing. Great company. 
Opinions what are the best floor standing speakers in these ranges $$??
Used Vandy 2Cs is probably the best you can do up to $500 
Phono preamp suggestions under $1000
Schiit Mani is great at only $130. If I had to buy a another phono, I would definitely try the Cambridge Solo for $199. Currently the best measured phono over at ASR. 
Tekton Double Impacts
That is a smoking deal on some mint MOABs! 
Low Cost DACs
Modi 3 measures way better than multibit modi. I for one want my DAC to be as transparent as possible. Modi 3 ftw 
Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
You are the first person I've heard of that's even listened to one. Congrats! so it seems like another winner for Eric? Does the 4-10 seem to go flat to 20 Hz (and below)? Does the sub seem to punch way above it's asking price?Rythmik is right in ... 
Schiit not that Good?
Wolf - should try the Vidars 
Headphone DAC for under $150.
Go with the Schiit Modi 3. That one sounds fantastic. Huge soundstage.Otherwise I like Topping D10 or D30 in that price range 
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
Schiit Audio is going to have a transport out this year. I might wait until then to make a decision 
Tekton Double Impacts
I think a couple of years ago Eric widened the sweet spot. Maybe you could get the SN and then call Tekton to see if you got the newer design? 
It’s that time of year- 2020 audio wish list
Sub array - starting with Stereo subs...which ones? ....hmmmmthenA couple Hypex NC400 monoblocks. I want to see what my Vandy 2C’s can really do before I give them to some other budding audiophile. After this will upgrade the speakers in either 20... 
Schiit Mani or Cambridge duo or Mofi ultraphono for a phono stage.
Honestly, if I had to choose one right now I would probably go with the Cambridge Solo since (it's exactly like the Duo, just no MC - and I only have MM, so I can save a few bucks here). Right now the Cambridge is the measurement king for budget P... 
Schiit Bifrost 2 vs Bifrost Multibit
Well the DAC chips from Analog Devices are also better on the Bifrost 2- more in line with what you get on the Gungnir, so it still may be worth it. 
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
Stereo Subs. Then buy music 
Schiit Mani or Cambridge duo or Mofi ultraphono for a phono stage.
Jason (a Schiit founder) over on head-fi just today alluded to a coming "insane" new phono pre-amp - what ever that means.
