Experience with Downfiring Subwoofer

Controlling your streaming from your laptop
I have an Samsung s23 phone & recently purchased the  S10 Ultra, which is my phone on steroids. Streaming Qobuz, Tidal, etc. to my Wiim Ultra with ease.   
Recommendation for phono stage
For what it's worth, I'm running an Cadenza Black on a SME 309 arm on my GAE & going into a ModWright 9.0. I can change the impedance on the fly to dial in with any LP thats on my platter. I never load under 100 with this cart & sometimes... 
SL-1200 G Power cable
I have the GAE & a firm believer in cables. My table is 12' from my conditioner & I made my own cord. I have to say, it didn't make a difference, not that I thought it would. I also have an outlet under my table, but chose to keep my syste... 
Streamer Advice
Another vote for the WIIM Ultra. It has many features & connections you’ll ever need. I kept it simple & matched it up with the FOSI ZD3 DAC & added the openness & separation that anyone would need. The built in EQ & room corre... 
My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier
Sorry, between the 1300 watt & the 1400 watt in performance on the FIIO, just the extra 100 watts?

Modwright PH9.0 X power source modification
I installed Russian tubes-Reflector 6S45P-E / WE437 / 6C45P / EC8020  a few years ago & noticed, a sense of "authority" from the original tubes that Dan had installed.

USB Cable Recommendations Under $500
I'm new to digital, I just picked up a Wiim Ultra & a Fosi. Someone suggested a SUPRA USB EXCALIBUR cable.  
Mods To A Parasound Amp
I have a HCA-2003 & used Big Sky Audio for an upgrade.  
Technics 1300G on it's way !!
Good luck from an GAE owner. You couldn't keep the Hana?  
Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver?
I spin 2 tables daily. An EMT-MRB on my 948 & Cadenza Black/sSME-309 on my GAE. I do have different Carts in my stash for both tables, but these are my daily right now. Both tables are outstanding performers in my system.
