Better cd SQ

Better cd SQ
I have the CD6006, also had the 30n SACD...I wouldn't go much above a Denafrips Ares 12-i or Schiit Bifrost 64/2...above that I would get a better CD Player or separate transport and DAC...the Marantz 30n SACD sounds better than the CD6006 if you ... 
Subwoofer - is there one that would work in this situation?
single sub can work, but not if you don't have ability to place it anywhere in room...in recent interview David Chesky uses REL T/7's with modified Quads...  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
currently running a $62 Fosi integrated, $149 WiiM streamer, pair of Avalon Ascendants - quite surprised at how good it sounds...and no attention given to placement, acoustics etc ...  
Handling Heavy Amps
I wish I could handle my mono blocks myself too...but I would only purchase the amp I liked best, regardless of weight...again, no need to move mine past 4 1/2 years - maybe this is unusual, but same holds true for audiophile friends and their amp... 
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
OP clearly states in cases of "item did not appear as described" ...  
Amp — Leave on or turn off
I understand aball, but after all these decades,  I'm going to keep trusting Pass and McCormack...  
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
certainly agree there is no harm in asking...  
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
there is an important difference between a return because not working properly/not as described, and you just didn't like it...difficult for both buyers and sellers...  
Handling Heavy Amps
Pair of 100+  pound mono blocks...2 friends set up on arrival...another 2 for placing Mapleshade cones  underneath...but in 4 1/2 years there has been no need to move them...  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I have a few secondary systems that are quite low cost and sound very very good...but my higher cost system sounds much better, as it should...though I could be quite happy with a quality connected low cost system...no magic here  
Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.
Tidal and Qobuz...agree Spotify is poor audio quality, but great for exploring new music...  
Recommended RCA sub-woofer cable? Thank you.
Analysis Plus Super Sub ... yes, it's what I use
