Any experience with Harmonix feet
Hi Husk01I would advise against option 3 which looks like an irreversible action for an uncertain outcome. Option 2 at least looks promising, my own Tidal speakers weigh about 200 lbs each, the spikes that go into Harmonix feet are plain rigid one... 
Any experience with Harmonix feet
Well, in my particular case the RF999-MT actually cured the detrimental effect of new carpet. Again guys, Harmonix are tuning devices that have to be auditioned, always (which is also the reason why general statements such as "X is better than Y" ... 
Any experience with Harmonix feet
Agree entirely with Teck5. I am using RF 999-MT myself with dramatic impact; they proved to be a necessary addition after redecoration of the listening room.Be aware, Harmonix themselves call these "tuning feet", so nothing to experiment with in a... 
Cable Elevators - What do you use?
Eureka! Brilliant discovery Unsound, Good point about stiff cables Zargon. With Virtual Dynamics Revelation for instance no need for elevators at all, they just remain in free air if you bend them that way (Provided your gear has a few lbs to brag...

Tidal Contriva Diacera or Aerial 20T V2

Unico CD Player:
Hi, I had the Unico SE Amp two years ago that had 2 Electro Harmonix 12AU7/ECC82, but EH doesn't offer tubes labelled 5814a so they could be CBS or Sylvania or ... (you'll have to take off the lid after all I suppose)Anyway, I substituted NOS Tesl... 
Best Song Intro
Led Zep - Immigrant Song 
What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films
Add "Solaris" (Soderbergh & Cameron) to my list. Suspenseful, dense, disturbing yet utterly hopeful. And Dylan Thomas is the greatest poet ever. 
Your First Vinyl Album.
Yes, "Fragile", still on my list of best records. 
Need Help on HeadPhone AMP
Stax SRS-4040II Signature system (consists of SR-404 cans + SRM-006tII tube amp), not sure about its price today, but it was below US$ 2k when I bought mine in 2007.Look up what the much bemourned John Potis wrote about this on 6moons, I couldn't ... 
Exposure 2010Sv NAD 375BEE Worth comparing??
I admit I have no direct comparison whether NAD could have tackled the challenge with comparable aplomb, but I heard the Exposure 2010S integrated with the cdp of the same series driving none less than the 10x more expensive Acapella 5th Avenue II...
