@toetapaudio,  I have the Sablon Grand Corona and Petite Corona. I prefer the Matrix over those on all components. 
Review: Linear Tube Audio (LTA) "Ultralinear" Amplifier
@weebeesdad , I can confirm that the synergy with the MZ2 is outstanding. I don’t currently own another preamp for comparison but the MZ2 is so good with the UltraLinear I’m changing a thing.

I have my SCs on the carpet as well. Maybe Bob will chime in as to whether it makes a difference. 
Wolf Audio music servers
@lwin , I too am interested in hearing more about the Wolf servers. I have a question on a slightly different topic. I noticed you use Jriver and Roon. Do you hear any difference in sound quality between the two?

My Modwright Oppo Sonica sounds wonderful.
