Wall outlets
+1, @audphile1 on Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet. Never mind the detractors!   
All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare
@frozentundra  Your original post probably rubbed @roxy54 the wrong way. You did not include his favorite legendary American brand…you know the one with blue meters 🤣 Given the new ownerships at ARC and CJ, choosing Pass Labs gear makes whole lo... 
Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated
OP, if you are poised to purchase Tannoy’s in near future, I would not spend a dime on any other component now. It’s important to get the synergy right between your Integrated and Speakers. Adding a DAC or phono is not going to mask the issues bet... 
Dr. Feickert Analogue Woodpecker turntable
“Goes to show that turntable really, really matters in the vinyl reproduction equation” Congratulations on your purchase. Dr. Feickert makes great sounding TT’s. Everything matters in a vinyl setup and it all starts with a solid, well built deck.

+1, @blisshifi  I am a Roon subscriber and long time Conductor user. And I prefer Conductor app for its simplicity, robustness and sound quality. And N200 is amazing!   
Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?
Why only China, check out offerings from Eastern Europe. So many talented designers with great sounding products at reasonable entry price points. They just need our attention and bit more exposure in the US.  
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
“probably would not have gone this route if not for the Lumin u2 having fiber ”@kefman1  That’s totally understandable. I would have pursued fiber as well if my streamer came with fiber input. One could eliminate the fmc conversion box by impleme... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@kefman1 I bet the sound is stunning but some of us don’t fancy the ‘clutter’ with a pair of fmc’s and a network switch. That’s 3 boxes plus 3 LPS not to mention the extra power cords for LPS.  
Need Input on Higher End Soundbars
I highly recommend SONOS Arc sound bar along with their Sub. The Sub can be added later but for ultimate experience, it is a must. I got my two rooms setup with them and sound is equally amazing with TV content or streaming music from plethora of ... 
Digital music questions
“I was hoping to be in the $1000 range, for instance, or maybe a little higher, but the Aurender N200 is quite costly!!” You may look for a ‘used’ bargain on Aurender N150 here and on US Audio Mart. Also look into Innuos Pulse Mini over Node 2. T... 
Which do u think is a better power amp? Cary Cad120s vs vtl st-150?
You have a Cary Preamp so Cary Cad 120 would be a wise choice for ultimate synergy. If you’re looking for a change, consider Ayon amps. Like, Ayon’s Triton Evo PA amp. Based on my listening experience, Ayon is a much better sounding amp over ARC, ... 
For Innuos owners
“The systems perform better after they are warmed up compared to when they are cold.” Isn’t this applies to all electronics in general so why would Innuos streamer be any different. I never turned off my streamer.   
Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6
@audphile1 The SVETLANA Winged 6550C was definitively better for the aforementioned improvements heard over the stock Sovtek 6550WE.  
Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6
@audphile1  I sourced my tubes from Tube Amp Doctor when I owned Ref 6. If you can swing it, try the ultra rare Reflector 6H30n-DP (made before end of 1992) tubes that includes gold grids. As far 6550, I highly recommend trying SVETLANA Winged "C...
