Outboard crossover? Why not?
LOL well some of those many people are audiophiles with significant others says a former Alon Lotus SE owner. 
Yggdrasil toslink to Sonos Connect
Why would you connect with Toslink? Sonos has an RCA out and your Yggdrasil has an RCA in, a better interface than toslink. 
Outboard crossover? Why not?
Nola uses them or did when they were Alon  and so does or did  Tannoy on some speakers. No disadvantage performance-wise in fact most would say the opposite. But it's obviously more expensive and for many people I would guess aesthetically less pl... 
How did you choose your equipment?
For the most part option 3 for me buying, listening, reselling over and over. However over the years and  a variety of tubed gear, every time something would need repairs I would take it to Deja Vu Audio. Vu almost always gave me a loaner amp and ... 
Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista vs. Krell FBI
you both just responded to a 7 year old thread  
***Advice Needed***Choosing Between Mini & Midi Monitors
So I was at Deja Vu Audio yesterday and saw this new system from Nola called the Brio Trio, the link wasn’t working so cutting and pasting some text... NOLA introduced its Brio Trio satellite/ subwoofer loudspeaker system at CES 2016: a compact, h... 
What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
As others have said summer is usually slower and also a lot of folks who've been doing this a long time are getting to the point where they make changes more infrequently. I know I used to churn through a lot of gear but not my $ is mostly spent o... 
No Name Tube Amp & Turntable DIY?

From Wadia to ???
You might consider the Exogal Comet, Exogal was started by Wadia's former engineers and the Comet has gotten some rave reviews. I've not heard it, or Wadia for that matter, but suspect the house sound might be similar.  
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Oh no getting on a Delta flight tomorrow at 7am! Wish me luck all! LOL 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
This was posted in another thread it's a bit vague but seems relevant.http://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/6972/high-resolution-audio-you-can-hear-me-now?id=%2D13...I don't to hi-rez at all myself. 
Really cool Japanese commerical-Cassette Tape Dominos
Cool sent that to a bunch of friends thanks. None of us ever had Technics tapes though we were all Maxell guys. 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
Ghosthouse as soon as I wrote my last post I in fact started thinking about remasters. And in terms of recordings made from analog tape and transferred to digital it's as they said in the early days of cd to paraphrase.....'This recording my revea... 
Is upgrading pre worth it?
Congrats and happy listening and please do let us know how it all sounds! 
Is upgrading pre worth it?
kingdombuildingcon it's no problem mixing ss and tubes assuming there are no impedance mismatches or anything but I think, and others here too, that a tubed preamp is the way to go. In fact many do the reverse of what you propose and pair a tubed ...
