Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best?
One 15" can give you what you want?If you want good bass in one position only and a wife bitchin' about the whole house booming/pressurized, have at it. 
Frustrated with Vinly
I've got a Nitty Gritty shelved. Too much work scrubbing and sucking.For the cost of a vacuum cleaner, Park's Puffin's SQ sounds quieter with the Magic firmware. You can even still use your Herron first if that's your thing.As it was explained to... 
New TT for ~$1500
The Schitt Sol looks like a winner to me.You could try it with a Puffin for $1300 total. Choice of 2 carts. 
To guard stylus or not?
I say not. I can't even find one for the installed cart. The other 3 are covered.Flux busted it without. Of course if I had a strain guage I'd revisit that thought. 
Lumin D2 or U1 Mini
MiniTell us if it was worth it. 
External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread)
I have the N100 and it is toslink only.  I imagine it has a crappier internal DAC. Even a $70 S.M.S.L. DAC sounds much better than internal. The optical is limited to 24-96 and is a match for the $15 level of Qobuz.It really shines through a bette... 
Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed
Nice poison link MC 
Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers.
Black.Loki?Paint it black. 
New old or old new?
Optimize sound AND resale?WTF?If it sounds good don't sell it.OR regret it.If you want to get most of your money back, don't buy in the first place.Then you'll have 100% of it.If you don't spend it, all you got is a pot of gold.You would feel bett... 
Who's Gone Topless?
I made a plexiglass lid for my Superphon in the 80's. Opened up the SQ. 
Is there such a thing as too much power?
Especially tweeters and trashy girfrends. 
High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3?
I'd try a Puffin. It'll max out any cartridge.The SPDIF model will go right in the Mytek at full gain. 
Roon endpoint or Dac with Room correction
I have the Studio, dpon't need any more cheap DACs.  Love it. Haven't even gotten to the DSP part yet, though I bought my first laptop to do it. I just go balanced out to my DAC. It' has better SQ than my BluNode digital out.   It'll power a large... 
Brightness
Try headphones to take the speakers and room out if equation. 
How good are $2 DACs?
Good enough to play your TV over a $10 portable speaker if it doesn't have a headphone jack.
