Wondering if anyone can identify the speaker in this screen grab
Looks like an Avalon.   
Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire.
See if VAS will do it for you. They do tonearm rewiring, but you need to check if they can do that model. Good luck.  
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see what brand dac you were using. You might list your system because the issue may be somewhere else.  
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
I think Fritz’s products are very electronics tolerant.  If you have the money and want trouble-free,  Luxman, Mac, Accuphase. Really need to know budget and what volume you are expecting.   
Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?
Do other people’s opinion affect my opinion?  Only if the other people are the doctor and the radiologist.

Crossing Left and Right Speakers
Are you talking about extreme toe in, to the point where the right speaker is pointing at your left shoulder and right speaker at left shoulder?  Spendor used to suggest this as an option. I’ve tried it and it’s ok, but it really depends on your r... 
New cd player
Don’t assume a newer player will sound better. Those older Denons sounded very smooth and were well built. A lot of modifiers used them as a base for upgrades. That aside, Rotel makes some nice machines in your price range.  I would stay away from... 
DAC UPGRADE QUESTION
If you have the money and like Chord, why not try a Hugo TT?  Most dealers offer a 30 day home trial, but be clear on any restocking/return fees that could be a couple hundred on an expensive item. But at least you’ll have a chance to listen at ho... 
Linn LP12 & Miyajima Madake or ?
Always keep a spare cartridge around. Even a decent cheap one. And never put a fish in your car. Remember that. It will help you in life.   
Let the Games Begin
Hearing is so weird. When I was working in the studios, I had the chance to work with one of the first Sony digital multitrack machines. I think it was 1” tape. We were all amazed that the playback off the tape was identical to the recording sound... 
Let the Games Begin
This is nothing new. There were studies years ago showing no difference in audio quality between CD and hi rez. Like many other parts of audio, some agree and some do not. Personally, I had a few good SACD players and never found the sound superio... 
Just got back in the vinyl community
Congrats. I agree that vinyl can be rewarding, but it tends to bring out the OCD in some.  I think you were wise to go with a Rega table/cart combo because you can relax in knowing that it’s set up to Rega spec and you don’t have to fiddle with al... 
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
A lab diamond is absolutely real. But people pay twice as much for mined diamonds because… they just do. I wouldn’t want to pay for a mined diamond, find out it’s a lab diamond and then get told “it’s just as good.” But in truth, all you can do is... 
Re-Discover my Direct to Disks
I love the umbrella Toronto Chamber Symphony records and David Montgomery “The Piano” on Direkt to Disk may be the best piano recording I’ve heard. I’m not totally convinced it’s because they’re D to D. I think it’s the fact that they were done us...
