Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
A few weeks ago I connected my Oppo 203 to my Onkyo rz50 for steaming duty. The Oppo is sitting directly on top of my Furman 20. I know the Oppo doesn't have the best DAC (looking into the upgrade kit). Yesterday, just for kicks, I had Slate coast...

I'm running KR-KT88, the best I've heard im my system. NOS Telsa & Brimars. Dead quite & very revealing.  
Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
My speakers are, LaScala's ll base bins 9.5' centered slightly towed in & 6'' of the rear wall, pointing just to the left of my seating. A Altec 311-60 sitting on top of a granite slab with a little more direction towards my ears, sitting 10' ... 
Tone Arm Lifter
Another lil fwend user here. I'm have 1 for my GAE w/SME 309 arm, & the disco model for my EMT 948. Perfect fits.   
Which subwoofer should I get?
I have 2 one for each channel, MK-70B’s dual 8" drivers (push/pull) that are super fast. You can go up the ladder for the larger cones, & resale would be no problem if they don’t match. YMMV I’m also limited for space & could have got a s...

Single Sub Position
I agree with @tmortsd, I always had mine to the rear & in the corner of my old house. Then moved to where I am now & put it to rear right on the side of the couch. I the bought another sub, but smaller & put it on the other side of the... 
Onkyo/Dirac
@gkelly you as well...  
Onkyo/Dirac
The new software just blended all the low end into one big sub.  
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
2- Little Fwends Disco versions, only because they come in black, from my Daughter. On their way from the UK, should be here on Tues.  
Speaker Isolation tweaks ?
I use  under my LaScalas. The good thing is that their adjustable for uneven floors, plus they tighten up the base. Under my MK subs, I use what skeptikal suggested, the  SVS SoundPath. Under my (8) other speakers, 3'' Maple from a well known fa...
