Faint buzz in speakers
Or, that self respecting audiophile could simply make sure all lights with dimmers are turned off while listening.  
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A troubles
Agree. If you otherwise are pleased with the condition of the unit, spend some money on a set of tubes instead of return shipping. You probably would have ended up buying tubes in short order anyway.  
Physical degradation of CD's
Update. I played this CD on a second system with the same result. This background noise could be best described as what you would hear with a really dirty old abused LP. The second CD of this box set played fine. Interesting.  
Physical degradation of CD's
Never ever had an issue with my CD’s. That is, until right after this thread was posted! Last night played "Miss Saigon" and heard this low level crackle/static noise. At first thought it was my electronics. Thankfully other CD’s played fine. FW... 
Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp
My question was actually for the OP in an effort to question his process.  He bought an amp and now is wondering what speakers and pre will be a great match. IMO you want to start with your speakers and match the amp accordingly.  The amp he has ... 
Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp
And why would you look at the LTA preamp?  
Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ?
Tekton monitors. Read the reviews.  IMO those Klipsch speakers would not come close to the neutrality and imaging of these speakers. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/monitors-loudspeakers/impact-monitor/#color  
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
The most important factor of all is not necessarily what speaker you chose--it's where you place it.  Suggest you use something close to the Cardas suggestion of placing speakers 1/3 of the room depth from the front wall, listening position at the... 
Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house?
Agree with the above.  Solid heavy sealed MDF doors, double staggered studs, double sheet rock, all would go to waste with the removable partition.  That's a deal breaker.  
Definitive Technology BP 30
Well, actually, in my mind they are only a good match if you like a really bright sound. Had a pair of BP10's years ago.  They did not last long in my system. How Sandy Gross voiced a soft dome tweeter to sound so irritatingly bright and edgy I w... 
Where to find OEM Dali Epicon woofer?
Again, before you order an expensive driver or ship your speaker, for the love of Pete, pull the woofer and hook it up directly to your speaker cable.  You need some due diligence here before deciding on a course of action.  
Where to find OEM Dali Epicon woofer?
Tweeters burn out far more often. Open up the speaker and see if there is a loose connection with a lead or in the crossover.  If all is good, contact the manufacturer. Lastly, google is your friend.  
Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
With your limited budget, you could consider the Denon PMA 1600NE.  This was overstocked and replaced by the new 1700.  It is being offered at $1000, half off its normal price.  It look great and sounds great but is fundamentally a neutral amp.  M... 
Dayton Audio SA 1000 subwoofer amp - repair
Love posts like this.  Nice work in seeing this repair through despite very unhelpful tech support through Parts Express.  FWIW I have found their tech support a crap shoot.  Sometimes excellent, other times not. Thanks for sharing this easy fix.  
I'll welcome myself back after a brief hiatus
As above.  Great attitude Russ in a very tough circumstance.  Given my family history of hearing loss, I regularly thank God above for my intact hearing.
