System advice
Great starting point.  Table/cart could be upgraded and of course one could spend the balance on speaker stands and a Quadrasprire SVT which would really ramp this system up substantially.  About $2100 for the Rega System One. https://www.rega....

Sure.  Naim Core server, Weiss 501 DAC, Jorma digital cable, Luxman 900u preamp, ATC 50 active speakers, custom interconnects, Furutech 4.1 power cables, Townshend podiums, Puritan 156 power conditioner, Furutech outlet, Quadraspire Reference X eq...

So much bickering.  Is it possible that some of you are somehow married to each other and just using pseudonyms?  It only carries a certain level of entertainment and as predictable as a Hallmark movie ending.  Enjoy your toxicity cocktail while I...

My premise; I'm surrounded by sociopaths operating at various levels of practice.  That may seem extreme, but the amount of dysphoria these days is proof enough.   Rather simple; it's positive and constructive, or it's negative and destructive.  ... 
Because the word TECH is there.
My layman's understanding is that the software development triangle states:  You can have it fast, cheap, right.  Pick any two, the third an outlier. As a former contract traveler in radiology for a decade, I had the pleasure of experiencing tech...

I run the Luxman 509X which is superb and an older Sugden A21SE at 33 wpc Class A of course and it is also superb.  You cannot go wrong here.  Accuphase is most likely also wonderful.  They will all work.  
Troubleshooting Rega Brio-R Amp Issue
@imhififan 1+  Most likely the simplest thing will be the thing that's wrong.  Or, that input selected is bad in one channel.  You only list one source, the RP1.
