| Beginner home theater setup questions... Hard to go too wrong with your HT setup. You could spend a lot more than the SVS speakers that @Soix recommended or the Klipsch and not realize much extra enjoyment in an HT setup. I am inclined to agree, though I have not heard them, that the SVS... | |

| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? Upgrade your Node first. The Node can be improved by a good margin by upgrading the internal power supply with a PD Creative board - https://pd-cf.com/.../bluesound-node-2-2i-upgrade-low.../ I power this board with a SBooster LPS.

| Technics SL1210 MKII Well worth considering. Easy to set up, very reliable, very good sound. Take a look at KABusa.com for repair and upgrades. One of my turntables is a 1600 MK2, basically the full auto version of the 1200 MK2. I added the KAB fluid damper and change... | |

Maybe worth reading if you do not already have it. I see two connectors that you could try pulling out one or both and see if that d... | |

| Primaluna? Also the Aric Audio Transcend Push-Pull amplifier is a wonderful amp. You can swap tubes from EL34’s on up to KT150’s. Triode / ultra linear switching on the fly and variable feedback (from off to full) gives you several amps in one. top grade t... | |
| Sound carpet Assuming this is a new area rug and not wall to wall, I would find a piece of foam carpet pad at the big box stores. Have it cut to size just smaller than the new rug by a few inches, and place it underneath. The extra padding could help. And it... | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 I have a Sutherland PhD. Brings out all the detail on the disc. Neutral with a nice wide soundstage. This was a big step up from previous stages. I will be receiving a Don Sachs tube phono stage next week. I am looking forward to comparing the tw... | |

| Best new musical flooring for flooded basement Similar situation here a couple years ago. Sorry to hear about the flood. I went with LVT wood look flooring and have a couple area rugs in key places. Sounds great. Ditched the spikes and went with de-coupling. Another improvement.Good luck! |
