Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
I tried the butcher blocks and my speakers didn’t feel solid..  I have granite and isolation under my amps and speakers and am very happy.  
Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG
I pay Spectrum $54 for 500 down and 22-24 up as part of a package.   With fiber, you should get the same up and down.    
Oh my goodness!
@asvjerry  I think I am almost maybe kinda sort of close to my final setup. I’ve just started to do some research on a different DAC.  Not sure yet what I’m looking for to replace the Pontus ll, but when you’re in no hurry, something will surely ... 
Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review
Does she sell any other products and what are the prices?  
Oh my goodness!

I still happily have an ARC SP9mk2 with a pair of Acoustat Model X’s. I have updated some parts on the amps and they sound better than new.

The Highest - Suprema
How cool to hear such a wonderful set of speakers, but I’m surprised they weren’t using Mac equipment. Even in their suite in New York, they have a large rack of McIntosh feeding the Suprema’s and their sub towers.

McIntosh MC312 vs. ARC Reference 150
@bimmerlover  Yeah, a lot of people put in the kt150’s.  ARC put them in the SE model as well. Question,  do you have a 20 amp outlet near your rig?  ARC uses 20 PC’s on almost everything.  
McIntosh MC312 vs. ARC Reference 150
@bimmerlover  Depending on the tubes used in the ARC, both amps can sound similar, but…. Do you what KT120’s they bought? Were they matched pairs? Do you know if the other tubes have been replaced? If so with what? Any updates or mods?  I bought ...
