Preamp Options under $3500
I am also entertaining the Schiit package same as ditusa listed above. A friend of mine suggested the same thing last night. Also, I found a used Mac C49 with some scuffs for just under 3K. I have not heard the Mac sound before so I'm on the fence... 
What artists can you not get enough of?
Khruangbin Best guitar player in a while. They make a lot of music for 3 people. Julie London, some of those recordings have pretty good quality. Liberty Records. Read the history on Liberty Records, Boomers and Gen X'ers will understand.  
How remove odor from interconnect?
That is so funny. In the last 60 years of Hi-Fi I have never heard about smelly nor smelled cables before last week. I thought I was the only one till I read this post. A while back I cut my Monster Speaker cables to the correct length as they wer...

BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I'm not sure how to PM a poster but I will write anyway. This is to the Original Poster kjl1065 I am curious why you chose the SVS sub and not the Martin Logan sub since you have Martin Logans. I have a pair of ML Request and the Abyss Sub. I was... 
Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80?
I mostly listen to college or community radio stations. Very refreshing at times. Decent new music is introduced to me every week. Damm those college kids. I am 66 years old so I am going to say yes. Some of my recent favorites: Khruangbin. I ha...
