Has anyone write audio review on HIFIADVISOR?
really not much there yet though but hopefully that will change as people add reviews. feels like 6moons web page where you need a detective to find the actual review between the adds and stuff floating around on the page. The web page too busy fo... 
Peachtree nova150 phono stage quality?
Oh I wish i had another room to play with your lucky. Also looks like you have enough equipment to fill both spaces nicely. I have also been looking at the 1200g  
Phono cartridge suggestions sought
I'll second the ditch the Denon theme, not an overly great cart but a good performer for the money and not worth re-tipping ,IMO, just get a better cart. +I'll also second the ART9 its a fantastic cart for the money, also the hana sl cart is quite... 
Turntable feedback
if you want stone that has a natural damping feature get slate. costly though. I've been through all this over the last couple years as I put together my Garrard 301. I was originally going to go with a stone, probably slate, but its quite expensi... 
Can y’all help me finish this Schiit
i'd get the current one its better and I believe has wifi but check with blue sound. I'm probably going to buy one as well in a week or so as the next up the chain is $2k up so at $500ish the node is a deal IMO  
Network streamer with hard drive
40volt drop across a breaker? what type of breaker are you using? A breaker is not electronic as far as needing to have a voltage to operate it. it opens when either it over heats or magnetically depends on the breaker type of course. But you shou... 
Fedex issues
Looks like another future YouTube video of how they deliver expensive items. maybe if enough bad press comes the will change their policy. personally I gave up on FedEx years ago. my preferred deliver service in the postal service ( Canada post as... 
Audiocubics ?
You could get a motorized volume pot installed and get a small wall wart powered controller all from parts xpress, i believe there is a kit for the controller and you select a volume pot many to choose from. if you have a tech locally ask them abo...

The Node will give you many great things like streaming ability, network access, NAS access etc. the week point in it is the DAC so I'd plan to upgrade that down the road. Schiit DAC's are quite nice if I do say and there is some nice multi bit on... 
Regarding prev discussion "Does your CD player not play all the way to the end of the cd?
may also be time to consider a NAS or something like a blue sound note 2, and put your CD’s on a hard drive. There are many really good servers for Audio out there. As time goes on CD players are going away and the old ones will fail. that said th... 
Turntable feedback
Best recommendation I can give in your situation is get a wall mount for your table. And get it out of the corner. that said; I have tried cones and they do nothing to help, one member recommended Iso acoustic footers and I'll second that, it's wh... 
Impact of phase inversion by preamp
I get similar results when I switch as merosen gets. I find the sound stage seems to be most effected when switching also as Merosen noted too its a little hollow-dead sounding in the sweet spot when switched. I switch it when I'm listening and do... 
Peachtree nova150 phono stage quality?
I'd stick to the one in the Peachtree, I have not personally heard one but reviewer say its quite a good one. Upgrading the cart is IMO a better move.  I'm not familiar with Lounge audio may i ask why your considering that particular phono stage? ... 
Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup
I've been quite happy with a Gold Note PH10 at half the budge your looking at. I've heard it up against some very good and more expensive phono stages and it was not behind either of them. here is the thread from here. https://forum.audiogon.com/d... 
Salk Audio Sound
I've always been a fan of Proac's they seem to all be very musical speakers that draw you in to the music more so then many speakers I've heard-owned. (I've had R2.5's and a couple tablet versions over the years) Have you've heard the D30R's ? I'v...
