Starting to get interested in tubes
I have an ARC REF150SE driving my M-L CLXs.  Sounds amazing. 
Best SQ Boost for Budget?...
The Schiit Bifrost II 
Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt
@masi61What are the details of the Linn Karousel promotion? 
Good Entry-Level DAC
Take a look at the Schiit MultiBit DACs with the Unison USB input boards.  To my ears, their MultiBit DACs are the only thing that sound like real music. 
Subwoofer Question
I will express a somewhat different experience based on my experience.  I had Martin-Logan CLSs paired with a pair of Entec LF-20 subs.  These subs each had two 10 inch woofers that were servo controlled and I had new surrounds put on by the origi... 
Anyone been able to compare the SQ of Roon Nucleus vs. MacBook Air?

Terrible loss to the jazz world

Audio Research Ref 10 vs 40th Anniversary preamp
New REF6SE is said to close the gap to the REF10 and might be worth a listen. 
Any reason to go with anything other than Sanders Magtech for Martin Logan Summit X
I've had ARC D115mkII, REF110, and REF150SE on my ML CLSs and then CLXs.  I love the sound of a tube amp on them. 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
I second @millercarbon's enthusiam for TC.  Transformative product, incredible bargain. 
How do you use Tidal with you local library?

How do you use Tidal with you local library?
