Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
If I make it to eighty with good ears nobody's changing nothing I listen to. Unless I upgrade. 
Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
Ordered my Supratek 6SN7 Chardonnay. Was glad to see Mick was up and running again. Had read about this for some time and looking forward to some great sounds. I like Mick's approach.   
Budget? Cartridge recommendations
How much gain will the Rowland give you? 
Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl
When I bought my first upgraded system it was vinyl or tape. So analog only. There are certainly things to like and dislike. What I found when jumping back in 30 years later was that vinyl reproduction had upped it's game considerably, although th... 
Where do I start!?!
I would start looking around for a new abode. 
What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system.
Lonnie Mack-Strike Like Lightning. "Oreo Cookie Blues" with Lonnie and Stevie Ray. Some pickin' going on there.  
What do you consider "loud" for your system?
When it blows the needle off the record. 
How To Proceed With Room Treatments
GIK will ship you Owens Corning 703 in a box of six for about $100. The panels are 24"x 48" and 2" thick. Enough to play around.The cost to benefit ratio is ridiculous with their finished panels. Can't go wrong.

Suggestions for low powered tube amps for Zu Omens
Quicksilver Mid Monos. Give you a little headroom. 
Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
Am presently putting together my TT isolation package from Symposium. Interestingly enough the Segue Iso platform on 5 springs sits on a diy butcher block on 5/8" treaded brass rod. I've hesitated anchoring this to the wall even though I have angl... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
I listen to blues I guess predominately with a bit larger system than appropriate for your room. Since not having my Mcintosh MC60 tube amps with captive power cord any longer it was necessary to buy power cords for some new amps. Found a warm one... 
Synposium Acoustics - Impressed!
Ordered a pair of Symposium platforms for my tt and phono preamp. They will sit on top of a diy butcher block rack. Since currently breaking down everything to change a couple of components. Glad to hear these improvements.ebm, I looked at the cop... 
Why more bass subwoofer into power conditioner
Lots to be said for balanced power. Lots. 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
I throw the breaker and unplug. Also took the Cable TV off the system. I can hook it up when I want to quickly. Every house on my block/street had been hit by lightning. I really can't handle that nightmare.
