My amp is toast
I think you would be making a mistake before you at least have a local repair shop take a look. for the cost of an hour service it would be nice to know if its really toast or just a simple fix. Smoke can come out for the tiniest resistor failing ... 
Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k
I would think with only 6wpc you should be looking for 98db and up unless you listen quite low and-or near field. Horns like Klipsch, Full rangers like some of the omegas-fostex-voxativ-Rethm then your into stuff like AudioNote An (92-94db) series... 
Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system?
Have you tried turning up the bass-treble tone controls for low level listening that is one of the reasons they are there.   
Apple vs Amazon
Get a Tidal free trial. Tidal has the best sound quality by far IMO.  
My recent experience with 3 pre-amps - help me pinpoint the next upgrade.
Some of the most enjoyable music was with a system i had with a Cary SLP 93 preamp, Cary SLM 100 mono blocks (100wpc) and ProAc response 2.5's. Probably 9 years ago now when I had all that. Proac's and tube just seem to gel the best imo. You shoul... 
Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions
For tubes I tent to avoided E-bay sellers and stick to the larger internet-shops like the Tube store and various other large tube sellers also local audio shops. I find you usually get good quality, reputable people and a return policy that actual... 
Mac vs PC... Is Mac really better? & better audio experience out of your PC???????
Neither is better then the other. the biggest issues is what format will either play here Mac’s seem to lag slightly behind, being tied to Apple’s software. It boils down to what are you comfortable using and what level of quality do you want. AFF... 
Is the grass greener on the other side?
Another thing to consider is Audio Shops in your area go listen to other systems, also inquire about audio clubs. for example I'm just north of you across the boarder and we have a group that regularly meets ( we meet every Sunday) to chat about m... 
Yagin: does anybody have any thoughts on Yagin? Never herd of them?
Chinese made CD player not sure on the quality they used to be iffy there. In the end why buy a CD player at all why not take this time in your audio growth to go spinner 'less and get something like a Bluesound vault 2i. this would eliminate the ... 
Three weeks with Omega SAM's
Just an update, After some more time and moving them around more I found a very good compromise for sound stage and fullness in the midrange. they seem to work best a little closer to the front wall then other speakers I've owned. when I moved the... 
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
I also loved the +proac’s I used to run them with tubes as well Other options that come to mind are AudioNote ANE’s, Living Voice Avatar IBX own a pair and run them with 8wpc they are sublime if you have the room for them to breath think 36" min f... 
Integrated w/phono but no DAC
I'm thinking you should look at a vintage restored receiver. Marantz, Luxman, Sansui, Accuphase etc. all made full featured receivers that are quite good if you get one that has been recapped. Late model Luxman's and Sansui's from the late 70-earl...

Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations
I think honestly power conditioning as lowrider mentions is not going to be your best budget spending option and you should really focus on the bigger improvements for your system at the level you are now. before spending $1000's on power conditio...
