Leben CS 600 pre-amp tubes
Don't know if you would be interested but this article talks about a modification that can be done to a CS600 to allow it to use the same 12AU7 and 12BH7 tubes used in the CS600X.  I had come across it when I was deciding between the 600 and the 6... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I auditioned a REL T/9X in my system.  Once I understood, that in my particular set up, the subwoofer needed to be plugged into the power conditioner, it was very straightforward.  Getting the level and the crossover just right took a few days but... 
Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ?
Pay off the credit card but if you have any left over, you could consider adding the Uptone Audio JS-2 power supply to your Brooklyn.  I use a Brooklyn Bridge and felt it made a pretty significant improvement.  
What Integrated Amp do You use
Leben CS-600X with Gold Lion KT-77s, paired with Harbeth SLH-5+, the sound is simply sublime. 
Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel?
I have a Leben CS600X driving my SLH-5+.  I think it's a beautiful combination. 
Timbernation
I bought a stand from him last summer.  The stand came out beautiful and the transaction went as smooth as silk.  No issues what so ever.  
Best DAC for around $2,500 or less
I compared the Yggy to the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and choose the Mytek.  I firmly agree with crn3371 when he says "A lot will depend on your listening preferences and synergy with the rest of your components".  If at all possible, arrange for an in h... 
No sound on Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ with Bypass in Off mode
You should also look at menu option 9.2.4 Output Signal Routing.  I have mine set to AUTO so when I plug my phones in, the output to the amplifier is muted. You may want to try the BOTH option until you get th... 
Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge?
@stevejewels I’m sure it sounds really nice. I’ve enjoyed the HD800s each time I have had the opportunity to listen to them. Again, best of luck with the BB and thank you for taking the time to track me down here.I’ve pretty much decided that I... 
Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge?
Thank you for sharing your experience edcyn. I may be overthinking this. The majority of the comments I have read indicate that an Ethernet connect outperforms a USB connection.I spent some time re-watching the Hans Beekhuyzen reviews of the SOt... 
Looking for Linear Power Supply for my Mytek Brooklyn DAC. Suggestions?
I use the SBooster with my DAC+.  I think it made a nice improvement.  Deeper, tighter bass, wider sound stage and more silence between the notes.  It's a refinement and not a night and day difference.

+1 for BEK Hi-fi.  Erik and Barry are very knowledgeable and great to work with. Give them a call, you'll be glad you did. 
Differences between Magnepan 1.6qr and 1.7i
I replaced my 1.6s with 1.7s.  I remember the 1.7 being a nice improvement.  It was a much more coherent speaker.  The tweeter on the 1.6 could sound a little too prominent.  That issue was addressed nicely with the 1.7s.  I have to tell you that ... 
Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....
In 1981, I brought a second hand pair of MG-1s.  Over the next 35 years I owned another 4 pairs of Magnepans.  I went from the 1s to 1Cs and then to 1.4s.   After that I owned 1.6s and finally 1.7is.  Each time I changed speakers, I would listen ...
