Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel?
Jay’s Audio has many demos showing differences between pc’s in sound. Search them out if you want to. Synergy and everything makes a difference are key mantra’s that play out in practice. I have also upgraded cables from my sub board to my outlets... 
Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great)
I have carpet on underlay on concrete in my HT and engineered timber on underlay in my living room. Would love to try these podiums in both areas to experience the same results as found here by the OP. Nice results…

Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume
IN my experience the Monitor Audio G100 and earlier G50's are warm yet take plenty of current/power and deliver in spades. Many like the Silver models, but I have always preferred the Gold models. Warm for me means plenty of bass but not excessive...

Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital?

Pass Labs Speaker Choices
