Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital?
Finally, after all this science, we get to enjoy the music. Imagine that.   
Tube amps and a Stradivarius
Yes, in the end, it’s about the music. What’s it sound like? Hmmm.   
Help recommend a good tube preamp
Any BAT preamp is good. Never had a bad one.   
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
No. Never ditch Class A amps due to heat. It’s winter! Enjoy the heat.

Where should I go from here with my digital front end?
I’m happy I never got into streaming. Sounds like another audio rabbit hole where you can spend $1000’s.   
Digital is far better than vinyl
The OP is either seeking clickbait, or is too ignorant to seek knowledge on quality vinyl. And no, I’m not referring to a $10k rig. I don’t have that type of vinyl investment. But even I understand the merits of decent vinyl. Buy an $1800 Marantz ...

Primaluna or not Primaluna
@immatthewj , I found mine on eBay out of the UK. $220 for 4. Brand new in the box. Clean living?  
Primaluna or not Primaluna
Buy the PL, and call it a day. I mean, we’re talking EIGHT EL 34’a  I’m in heaven with 4. I can’t imagine 8 of them! Winged C Soviets is all you need. Trust me.   
5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes.
Many audiophile’s don’t want real advice. He’s not arrogant at all. You only perceive him as arrogant because your ears, and mind, are closed. He’s only stating common sense. And how many actually purchase a new component as a system fix, myself i... 
Most economical way to ship large speakers?
Definitely ground freight. They go on their own individual crate that way.   
different people may hear the same sound differently...
People hear differently. Duh.
