Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers
I really like what I read.   You are all amazing!!! My first test to establish baseline is to get cutover frequency and volume correct.  The speakers are flat from 100 Hz and up.  My room is pretty large about 15 by 30 feet.  With a 24 dB filter ... 
Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers
This is very good feedback. Let me share a bit more. My power amps are Nagra VPA 50 W.  My speakers are Tidal Audio Amea (85/86 dB). Both amps and speakers are excellent.  I am trying to reduce the load on the speakers, to have more power avail... 
Grading of phono cartridges Part 3
Grgaudio.    Amazing work, amazing. Your list is now 5+ years old.  Any chance you can update with experiences since when you originally put this together?  
Speaker for Nagra VPA
Just closing the loop on this.  Purchased a pair of Tidal Amea bookshelf speaker.  Sound is very good.  May need more power than the 50 W VPAs.  
PS Audio Power regenerator
Thanks for feedback.  My amps are consuming 300 W each.  Connected a few days ago one amp to each power outlet bank.  Hum level mid 30 dB.  Then I added CD/SACD/DAC, Preamp and turntable.  Hum went up to 50 dB in one channel.  The channel with onl... 
Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm
Thank you all for input.  Conrad-Johnson phono is 40 dB.  I have checked other preamps for moving coil, they would suggest 60 dB is a good target amplification.  So I need 20 to 24 dB.  The Chorale is rated at .35 MV.  I have feedback that suggest... 
Subwoofer for Tidal Amea (like Focal Sopra)
Thank you so much.  It sounds as this will be SVS.  I want to be able to control from phone with an App.  
Foam around treble units/ tweeters
Thank you all.  Let me follow up on the leads and see what will work!!! Jamac seems a very interesting shop. Thanks so much!  
43 dB noise level from speaker with amps (not including pre-amp)
Thank you all! 1.  I am using a basic dB app.Decibel X.on iPhone   Any other suggestions?  I realize it is not NIST and not calibrated.  Nice toy. 2.  App is helpful.  I compared impact by moving the tonearm pump to another room.  Dropped 7 to 8... 
Upgrading ET-2 tonearm to something better
Thank you.  Good responses.  I believe ET-2 is a very good arm and your comments confirm.  Also DS Audio 003 is an amazing cartridge. Thank you for your support!  
Bluesound Node 2 and Node2i with Oppo Sonica DAC
Thank you.  I think there will be a new streamer coming first  Sonore seems to make some good unit.  Thanks for all comments and support.  Always helps me move further.  
Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby
Thank you for the comments.  I am not going Marantz SA-KI Ruby based on above.  As you have pointed out there are other choices.   Marantz Holy Grail is the SA-10, not the Ruby.  The $ 1,000 discount may be due to move units sitting in boxes.  I h... 
Origin Live company support
To add to my story.  Hyendaudio fixed it.  Feedback:  The control board needed soldering and minor repair and the motor with less than 200 hours needed replacement.   
Replacement motor for Oracle Delphi turntable
Thank you. hyendaudio did a complete rebuild of my two Oracle Delphi tables.  Outstanding work.
