Tube amp for falcon ls35a gold badge
Maybe throw Leben into the mix as well, and one other I would recommend and have listened to, but will probably get pooh-poohed, is the hybrid Croft Acoustics phono integrated. FWIW... 
Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables
I own a Holbo air-bearing table. Linear tracking air-bearing arm, as well as air-bearing platter. An extremely great sounding table, relatively easy setup, and the thing doesn’t look like an oil rig. The air pump is extremely quiet in operation, n... 
The Davone Ray-S Speaker--A unique speaker that is worthy of your attention and audition
Nice updates on the Ray’s! Glad you are enjoying them! Still have not heard them myself, but if the chance comes, I certainly will, even though I am totally happy with what I have.  
Speakers choice with Octave v80se
I would also add Duevel to the speaker mix. My Venus work great with the V70SE integrated. The Bella Luna would be quite wonderful as well. Probably quite a few possibilities, it is more up to your ears and experiences/preferences. 
Are there speakers with cloth/soft enclosures instead of wood?
Gradient Revolution, at least partially.  
Larsen speakers ... anyone here heard or owned them?
I owned a pair of Larsen 4.2 for a bit over five years. A very enjoyable sound, don’t be put off by its different looks, or even somewhat odd sound at first. They certainly do deliver the goods, and I am sure the more expensive models just add to ... 
Naim Uniti Atom vinyl playback?
I am not sure how you would be simplifying anything here, as the Atom requires a phono stage to do vinyl playback. It appears that your Cambridge is essentially similar functionality to the Atom, and also has no phono stage, correct? Unless you ar... 
Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers
Sorry for your loss in the fire, that was all quite a sad time for many. I hope that things are well with you moving along from it! Better times for you! As to the F-5015’s, if you have questions or thoughts on setup etc., give John a call, I am s... 
In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment
poko-well put, agree on your post!  
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
@cleeds, Naim Audio’s NAP-300 is built in two chassis, power supply separate from main unit. Also Musical Fidelity has done them, probably many more over the years. So not a new or novel approach. Is it “better”, don’t know, but I suppose it meets... 
Wich is better
I agree on that one theophile, tough choice!  
Child Damage Mitigation
It really is amazing what a child can learn from parents when gentle teaching is given.  
Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?
Glad all is well Jerry! I have had to be at work-which I am thankful for, but wow, what a mental drain. One day at a time! Interesting on what your European friend is working on there, really nice looking cones created there! Nothing like creativi...

Naim uniti nova to another amplifier
Sure, the Nova has two sets of analog pre-outs, one using DIN and the other, RCA connectors. The Nova then can be used as source and preamplifier.The Nova in and of itself, has a pretty good amplifier section, so I guess it really depends on what ...
