Another vote for Core Audio Designs - plyKraft rack. If wood is your thing...there isn’t anything I’ve seen that can match the craftsmanship and smart engineering of plyKraft. They are not your garden variety wooden racks.  
Audio envy - dang!
@cd45123,I do not think the two cords are sonically different, they both possess exceptional tonality and transparency. Explaining ‘what would happen’ is like taking a shot in the dark since I am not familiar with your audio system. Using a ungrou...

@cd45123,Not sure if you’re asking about differences in sound but in any case you should use Ocean 3p (grounded) for integrated. The 2p is ungrounded and in grand scheme of things should be only used on a source component in conjunction with 3p.

@lenmc2964,I would start off with 4 dots underneath your RP3. I am using 3 dots for my SME 15. Just looked up your system, it appears you’ve already addressed the isolation underneath the subs 👍Your room is very similar to mine (great decor and ch...

“when I use the turntable the subs go crazy vibrate the floor bad I can’t turn up the volume at all”I had the same problem where I couldn’t turn up the volume on my TT. My suggestion would be to try the Herbie’s large soft fat dots. I couldn’t bel...

Spotify as low resolution source....does it even matter what OP goes with? Raspberry Pi or anything else under $1K, he is unlikely to hear any discernible differences in sound quality.

@gochurchgo,Not knowing your system, It would be hard to say if AE will give you the warmth you’re seeking....what you get with AE cables is better transients, timbre and openness in the music. The cables are very fast and transparent and they con... 
Which speakers to be ''in'' the music?

Phonostage recommendations under $3K
@larryi,I hear you on tube phono’s. I am using one in my system. The SunValley tube phono peaked my interest, that’s a very interesting piece. It’s definitely worth trying :-)

@cleeds,Sorry to hear about your experience with Aurender and it appears you’re still pretty miffed about it. I see very little point in dwelling over the past. Move on please.... 
To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question
“But I now have Vandersteen Treo CT’s and Richard Vandersteen insists his speakers are designed to perform their very best when biwired.”If designer of the speakers says above then my gut tells me you won’t be at peace until you try. I would use C...
