Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.
Audio reviews chew more than they bite off.  Their taste in music is prosaic at best. 
When you’re not here who will inherit your system?
Landfill. 
Audio Furniture has its own sound!
Illusions are real!(just having a little fun, so don't take it seriously) 
Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp?
The ph 9.0 is $2900, i believe.  It come with a 14 trial period, last I checked, so if you live in the hinterlands as I do, you can try it at home.  FWIW, I have the ps 150, and love it, but, of course, this doesn’t mean you will. 
New Music Direct catalog...
I’d prefer a picture of someone who was still young.  Phoebe Bridges, for example.  Audiophiles, for the most part, are disinterested in new (last 20 to 40 years) music. 
Got to visit Audio Alternatives
Any relation to Audio Alternative in Ft. Collins?

Not working on OS X Mojave and Chrome.  Sorting is wrong, and matching is partial not exact.

Any experience with Esoteric K-05?
FYI, there's an Esoteric forum/room on audioaficionado with plenty of k-series discussion. 
Can Naim SBL Speakers work with NON Naim equipment
They should work with any amplification. Whether you like the results or not is another question.I used them with Exposure amps and an Exposure electronic x-over designed specifically for the SBL's. I thought the combo worked well in the right roo... 
Exposure XI and IX preamp/power supply
i have a hard copy of the exposure manual, and a pdf of the page describing the pre/ps connection. i just need to know how to get either to you. 
Not your everyday bookshelf speaker?
wilson benesch vertex or trinity. efficient, though maybe not highly efficient. 
Some tables have soul and some not
terms like soul or musicality are so vague that they mean almost nothing to me. all i know is i'd rather listen to music via my SME than other turntables i've owned: LP12 for 21 years, rega p3/24 in a second system for 3 years.
