Instruments that shine in your system
I especially love the sound of drums on my system but all instruments sound good in my opinion.  
Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET
@earthbound Congrats on your new amp and glad you're enjoying it so much. And Charles asks a very pertinent question besides the output transformers the 300B's really influence the sound. And tube rolling is a very easy way to upgrade your amp.  
Digital is far better than vinyl
Is this intended as satire?  
How crucial is the quality of a digital cable?
I think it makes a huge difference I picked up a Jorma Digital cable used and the difference was ear opening one of the best purchases I've made.  
Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
I will say yes speaker cables matter but, on my system at least, they mattered the least of all my cables.  
Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs
@charles1dad I didn't see them there but it was a big show and what a gorgeous amp!  
Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs
@charles1dad Thank you and I'd say the same of you. And I did hear a Unison Research/Opera combo this past weekend at CAF it was an entry level amp the Unico and sounded pretty nice.  
Porsche-Design
Listening to that would get exhausting after a while.  
Trading ??? For equipment.
I've definitely done some trades over the years the one I remember best was trading my Alon Lotus SE speakers for a pair of JMlab Micro-Utopias after moving to a smaller apartment. I ran those speakers for 10 years it was an excellent trade.  
Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs
Of that group I'd go with the Synthesis Roma I am currently running their Encore, an older 6L6/5881 amp and it sounds very good. I also heard a pair of Synthesis KT66 monos at CAF sounding wonderful powering new Dolce Vita hornspeakers.  
Sound is better when I stand up?
Yes try angling them down ideally your ears should be level with the tweeters.  
Gallagher has passed away.
RIP Gallagher I was a big fan as a kid.  
To all our Veterans here, Thank You!
Yes thank you all for your service and sacrifice.  
Upgrading my digital system
@vargtimmen That upgrade makes sense then I was going by your virtual system which is much different. Good luck!
