Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes
Dollars, open mind and adequately revealing system.OP, how do you put the spikes under the Gaia footers? 
Differences between cd transports?
“someone please get the muzzle out”I keep looking but can’t find the right size to fit his mouth....🦍 
Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others?
Thanks wolf.

wolf, out of curiosity, have you tried your Heresys on a stand to bring them up closer to ear level. I'm tempted to try them but the floor placement won't work for me. Thx. 
Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged
If it were me, I'd have the amplifier checked for DC leakage before having the speakers reconnected with the new tweeters.  
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
In my opinion, talking about amplifiers without mentioning the rest of the system, e.g., preamp, speakers, etc., is pointless. Most of the “engaging “ aspects of the sound quality comes from the amplifier pairing with the speakers., and in the rig... 
Martin Logan electrostatic speakers, How do you know if the panels are good?
"Is the old, top of the line still good vs newer versions?"Assuming a well cared for and proper functioning used set, the older Summit will unquestionably sound significantly better than a comparably priced new model, if and only if paired with an... 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
george, it seems like you don't understand when to move on and let the man enjoy his new purchase. You need to eventually recognize that measurements are not the only factor in getting good sound....and your opinion is only one out of many.

Connecting to a Bluesound Vault 2i
If the OP is using Bluetooth for playback from phone, etc., no WiFi should be needed. Streaming from the cloud services such as Tidal, Spotify, is a different story. 
Decent DAC/Streamer
If you’re on a real tight budget, you can start of with a Chromecast Audio puck for $35 and a HiFi subscription to Tidal at $20/month. You can run the C.C. Audio through your Modi via (mini) optical connection and manage the content from your mob... 
Phono preamp make crackling noise
What's your cartridge's voltage, is it MC or MM? The crackling noise is usually from the tubes especially if they're running through a very high gain stage like 52 dB. Depending on the tube type you may be able to try a lower gain/noise version, e... 
Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work?
I have heard the Node2 analog output compared with the Codex as an outboard DAC in the same system and the improvement was definitely noticeable. Not a full MQA DAC as far as I remember but still sounded better playing back MQA content.   
Dac hookup....
Connecting a DAC to either Ethernet or WiFi makes no sense if at all possible. I think the question (and the answers) were focused on the streamer connection not a DAC. 
Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190
d2girls, and the point is? And how does that contribute to the conversation?
