Speaker placement
Russ69 I know where you're coming from but maybe I over emphasized how often I play it at that volume. I spend lots of time at normal volume. And with 70 watts of tube power through 98 dbl sensitivity it gets pretty loud. I used to play a 100 watt... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
In a room that size, have you considered selling the massive amp and going SET with high sensitive speakers? Decware for example but there are many of course.  
Audio Research Ref 6 vs 6SE
To spend five figures or not spend five figures on a preamifier, that is the question! 
Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound.
I know I'm a little late here and you might not see this, but I have some experience that might help. I was in the same position years ago and I used a Peachtree iNova as a preamp into a 1970s era Dynaco ST-70 tube amp I found for under $1,000 at ... 
Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer?
Thank you Jackd and Audiotroy!  Switching the transcodimg to DSD absolutely made a difference amd brings the sound so close to what I like from my Muse Erato that its no longer a complaint.  With A/B testing the two now it is difficult to hear a d... 
Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer?

Any thoughts about an upgrade to the T2? What does it do better than the D2? 
Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer?
Thank you for the comments.  To Audiotroy, I just did a plug n play with the Lumin, did not play with a set up menu nor do I know how. Is it in the Lumin app? I am using Wi-Fi, cannot direct connect with Ethernet. I am using the stock power cable.... 
Tubes or stick with S/S
I switched in January this year from refurbished Dyneco monoblocks to a Primaluna Dialogue HP powering Tekton speakers with 95 or so db sensitivity.  The PL is really some amp, loving it.  However I want to add that although I'm not familiar with ... 
Best speakers for classic rock
Tekton.  Awesome speakers regardless of price but in the sub-$2000 range ine if the best buys in audio.  Especially if you like tube sound because they are so efficient, opens up alot of amplification options.
