A decent integrated amp under 2K ...
Please forgive me, I’ve only skimmed the comments and not in detail here, but it appears that you have your choice of both the Croft and the Belles integrated amps right now on USAM. Here are the links: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/64981... 
Mark Audio 12P Full Range...An Amp question
I had the CHR70.3’s a while back and Mark Audio recommended 100 hours of break in at very low volume, so it took several days to do it right.  The 12P’s might require the same break in time, so be patient.  
Virtual System in a tranquil room
Ok, this post hasn’t gotten any traction at all, and while I can edit the post itself, I cannot edit the title of it.   So, in case anyone views this, let’s make this a free for all discussion.  Maybe post pictures of yourself, your family, your...

Thank you mahler123 and ghdprentice.  I see so many of these posts where people just indiscriminately offer suggestions on individual components without asking any questions or taking things together as a whole.  I like to be sensible and systemat... 
Starting over
This is very general, so help us to help you by giving some further details on your room and current system. In order to really help you without just shouting out names of equipment, which everyone seems to do, please provide as much detail as pos...

Beautiful listening rooms
The brick room reminds me of the basement bar in Inglorious Bastards.  Looks like it could have been filmed there.  
Antique Sound Labs
I had the ASL MG15siDT, regretted selling it.  Very nice unit.  
The Audiophile's Wife
OMG!  I love her!  She’s terrific, but then again, you already know that.     It’s very late here so I just read this past month’s blogs, but next time will have to start at the beginning and binge read it. Very witty and entertaining.    
Moved Overseas - Need Help with 3 Easy Tech Questions
DeKay - your assumptions are not correct.  I purchased the power strip here in Israel, and I’ve purchased correct Europlug power cords for all my equipment. The power strip is 16 A, 250V fuzztone - someone else on a Facebook Technicians group al...

No fuse on the power strip  
What is the best time of year to sell used gear?
ebm is correct.  In Summer demand goes way down as people are out enjoying the weather and don’t listen as much.  Fall and Winter is the best time to sell, the summer is the best time to buy.  
FM Tuners
I’ve owned a bunch of nice tuners in the last almost 40 years.  Even though I’ve had a number of very good digital tuners, I always prefer an analog tuner.  Prices have come way down on tuners and room might be a concern with the tall 70’s analog ... 
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
I recently moved overseas and my gear is coming in about a week or so. I have the Nodi 2i, but I’ve never hooked it up to a separate DAC.  I now have an audio GD NFB-1S DAC & also the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 2.  Not sure which coax cable I ha...

I had this combo (with matching faceplates) which was heavenly with Omega Super 3XRS’s but recently moved overseas so I regrettably sold it http://fleawatt.blogspot.com/2020/10/kenny-burrell-5670-tube-buffered-volume.html http://fleawatt....
