Everything Matters With Digital
Two things matter with digital: zero, and one. 
Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?
In my system the integrated sits front and center on the floor, where its hard to imagine anything looking better than this. https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/reflection-mk2/My sensible side says Osprey but the emotional side keeps whispering, "R... 
Who knows how to set up a bass swarm? (DBA)
No, it is if anything even better. Don't know for sure why that is. Probably because smoother. Maybe Duke knows why. All I know is in spite of having 5 subs you never get the impression any of them is doing anything. In the beginning I would even ... 
Who knows how to set up a bass swarm? (DBA)
Ha! Its been a year and I only did this once so I forgot it was level first then crossover! That makes more sense. Level makes more difference and its easier to hear the crossover when the level is right.  
Who knows how to set up a bass swarm? (DBA)
Yes they will be better with more subs. The deal is you keep whatever bass comes out of the main speakers and add to it with subs. You do not want to do a crossover to eliminate low bass going to the stereo pair. You want them to get all the low b...

VPI Signature Cartridge Ideas VPI SIg w/ Fatboy Unipivot arm
Sounds like you have it pretty well figured out. Main thing I would throw out there is what you're willing to spend should be down to what you're willing to spend and not be constrained by the table. Another contender would be the Koetsu Black Gol... 
Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!
Yes folks, vibration control is a thing. From back in the early 1990's people were trying all kinds of things, everything from tennis balls and phone books to bricks and boards, and noticing an effect on the sound. Not always good. When it was goo... 
Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
I wouldn’t lose any sleep over this one. Here’s why. I’ve actually built whole systems using the preferred approach of budgeting equally to each part- speakers, amp, source, wire, tweaks. Even at a very modest budget level it pays big time to budg... 
Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
Many tell the tale of the magic formula. It is said it is buried high in the Andes, or maybe in the deepest Amazon, then again quite possibly on Mt Doom, in any case you will know you are close when you trip over a unicorn and fall into the Founta...
