Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs
To me they sound like any other cd except with more dynamic range, probably due to their mastering. If you want a really exceptional sounding redbook cd, try JVC XRCDs. Limited number of recordings but exceptional!  
My recommended QoBuz playlist is Hi-Fi Audio Partners
It’s even easier on ROON, go to quobuz, click on playlists and audio partners on the top of the page scroll down a couple of levels.   
I have perfected my network for the nth time
Wow, you should publish this!  
Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile?

Sequential Tube Monoblocks
I wouldn’t think so, I would just make sure they are from the same or similar time period/model/upgrade etc.   
Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
Not to worry….tone controls are good! Even variable loudness, love it ! McIntosh is the way to go. Good luck!  
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!

Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC
Isoacoustics that’s what I use under my esoteric.  
Simple question, probably stupid
+1 @larryi Just listen to your system, you’re wasting the hours on your tubes.   
Cloth vs paper surround
+1 @dekay I had a pair of old Radio Shack Optimus 1s with cloth surrounds. They dried up and became stiff so I think that would be the main issue with them   
External DAC?
I think you asked the same question twice, so I’ll defer to my answer in your other thread. Good luck!   
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions
I’ll tell you, I have several systems with one as my reference. In my reference I jumped from a node to an Esoteric network player and it was a quantum leap in DACs, sound wise, performance and the ability to play DSD. However, I’ve played with us...
