Best Minimalist DAC?
I agree with Zman. The Bi-Frost doesn't do DSD, but you can add a Loki for $149. GREAT combo for the bucks. 
Which headshell to use?
35off...if you have the Audioquest that looks like the Orsonic, you have an Orsonic. Orsonic made that headshell for Audioquest. It just says Audioquest on it, instead of Orsonic, but it's the same exact headshell.I was a dealer and have several o... 
System assessment--should I change amps?
I think you have a very nice system. If it sounds good, why screw with it? Spend your money on music... 
Modwright 9.0 SE versus Conrad Johnson PV-14L Mk 2
Wino...they were Amperex Holland 7119's. I also have a NOS pair of American made, but they weren't as good.I did extensive tube rolling with that unit and still have a lot of tubes for it. In the back of my mind, I knew I would own this preamp aga... 
Modwright 9.0 SE versus Conrad Johnson PV-14L Mk 2
Does your Modwright SWL9.0SE have the tubed rectified power supply and all of the Modwright caps?That model had several running changes to it over the years of production. I had bought just the regular SWL9.0SE without the tubed power supply and i... 
Tidal & Deezer - Streaming Devices Used...?
Sonos Connect 
Rega arm vs Sumiko
Kiko65...just a quick correction. It was David Fletcher, not Beltcher that designed the SOTA tables. 
Best amp for $550 to mate with the following...
Here are few that would be close to that price:Classe 10 or CA100 (as Ray mentioned), the Seventy IMHO, wouldn't be enough power for your speakers which are 86db.Sonographe SA250Odyssey StratosParasound A23Emotiva has several amps that would work ... 
Which headshell to use?
BTW...welcome! Nice vintage system!! 
Which headshell to use?
I have a box full of different headshells. My favorite is the Orsonic. Audioquest made a version of this also, (actually it just had their name on it).These went out of production for a long time, but have recently come back. 2Juki on E-Bay sells ... 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
Phase...yeah, it's a great album. How could you go wrong with guest players like: Jackson Browne, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Phil Everly, David Lindley, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther and songs like: "Frank and Jesse Jam... 
Agree or disagree with the following statement.
Statement: "If you have never listened to any particular component, you can't have an opinion on how it sounds."You can always have an opinion, but it you haven't heard the specific component in question, your opinion is just that...an opinion. No... 
Transrotor turntables
The table I've always lusted after is the Transrotor DarkStar Reference with a Kuzma 4Point arm. If and when I ever get the funds, that will probably be my last expensive table. 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
"This is, indeed, a great record--one of my favs--but it's not actually his first. That would be Wanted Dead or Alive from 1969, re-released on Pickwick in 1979, which is when I found it. A bit rough in places, but one can readily hear the artist ... 
Diana Krall, Wallflower
I quit buying Diana Krall albums because I already have a ton of her stuff on both CD and vinyl. They all kinda start to blur into each other. Not a lot of diversity. However, I did really like this one. I listened to it on Tidal a couple of times.
