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. 
Schiit Bifrost 2 vs Bifrost Multibit
Bifrost 2 has unison USB - supposed to be the best way to transfer digital data SQ wise... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Eric has a video on YouTube saying basically big speakers in a small room is no problem. Not sure if you've seen it.https://youtu.be/CuU-GrirOXI 
Switched to Ls50 wireless; they sucked the “Life” out of my music
I really wanted to love the KEFs, as well. Extremely great fit and finish. Just a totally fun and cool speaker. They just didn't do it for me so I moved on. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Honestly, I kinda feel like the DI are similar to Vandersteen sound signature wise (I think a lot of people here would take issue with that, but only my opinion, LOL) - However, a much more dynamic and detailed Vandersteen. The high end never felt... 
Forever speakers around $5000
+1 for Tekton Moab 
Recommendations for headphones under $400?
I wonder which cans Uber ended up with? 
Best used DAC under $750.
Topping D50. Measures better than just about anything else. If you want transparency, look no further.

Anyone try with the Benchmark AHB2 amp? 
How Good Can My Vinyl Get?
Technics SL1200 GR + Nagaoka MP150 + Schiit Mani. Done. That's ~2k and will compete with anything out there.Don't forget a record doctor V. (This might actually be the most important component) 
New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
R2Rs do not measure well at all. Do what Roberjerman says and get Topping D50. Completely transparent. It will give you EXACTLY what's on the recording 
Subwoofer recommendation for swarm
Qty 4 SVS SB12 NSD for only $1600 might be the best deal out there for complete, already built with amps, etc...and they measure extremely well. 
What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get?
Just get a couple Hypex NC400 monoblocks and then never worry about amps againhttps://www.diyclassd.com/product/nc400-mono-kit-(complete-kit)/24 
Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem?
Erk, I have an extra set of rca outputs on my pre which I would use to go the the stereo subs. Would I stick the minidsp between the pre and the subs? Don't need to touch the signal of the mains?
