Are Innuos about to lunch new models?
My Kingdom for a "a"! 
Use B&W HTM2 D3 center spkr be use as a single main in HT?
This is not my recommendation, not at all. But if you do throw your subwoofer, could you please make a video? I would watch. Totally. 
Next Upgrade??
I can't say that anything bothers me about my system. it images fairly well, good bass, definitely loud enough. Just always looking for a little better. If what you listed really is your whole system then the surest safest way to get what you w... 
Which tubes are the best?
Huge upgrade, you say. Compared to..... what, exactly? 
Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables?
Its not acoustic feedback. Unless maybe you have the flimsiest turntable ever made and it has a dust cover and you leave the dust cover on- and even then I seriously doubt it. What you have is mechanical vibrations coming from the floor and rack r... 
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
He has a avr. He's actually using it. Nuff said. 
Valuating amp cost
What do you mean "brand hype"? Seems to me your way of saying there aren't actual differences in sound quality people can hear and appreciate for themselves. My system includes components from Teres Audio, Melody, Townshend Audio, and Perfect Path... 
The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
I was kind of like that. Every record would be listened to once as it was dubbed onto the Pioneer RT, usually the whole album and then a few choice cuts that would go onto play lists. But then after that they would only come out for the occasional... 
Speaker Positioning
The sweet spot/toe in variable seems to lend itself to almost as much debate; do you adjust sweetness to a single location, or do you compromise to expand the geography? Another personal preference no doubt. Right. Most speakers will image bes... 
Which tubes are the best?
Tubular1- For those that like the JJ tubes - what is it that makes them good? Alos, where do you buy them?   JJ are just as detailed and extended, yet just a tiny bit more liquid, which adds up to a bit deeper and more palpable sound stage. Comp... 
Which tubes are the best?
Not trying to hijack this, but don't forget to try a different fuse.  The SR Orange change was also noticeable.  I describe it as making the black parts of the music blacker thereby letting the instruments stand apart and increased the detai... 
Wild anecdote on variables in a listening room / studio (from Darko)
Did anyone click the link? The whole point of this sappy story is to build up the writers cred as he is about to review a..... $399 power supply.   Oh for the days when Jonathan Scull would tell us about his golden ears detecting the sound being o... 
The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
it’s not just that analog is better, but that the recording process served the music and music making, much better then. and the musicians were....more special. Imagine: one take, no mix-downs- and all recorded to a standard far in excess of the... 
A discovery
A YouTube video with more than half a billion views I had no idea existed. You can tell I’m living the good life. Gangnam Style was well over a billion, so possibly I am slipping into the mainstream? Will have to wait to find out. Can’t be playing... 
Ever Hear a Tube CD player?
