What tonearm will better mine?
Op, my advise is simple. If you like your sound, don't worry about what the others say and be happy.  Our hobby is endless. :)  Always pushing for a better sound and to what end.  I use a Jelco 750D tonearm on a restored Thorens 160 Super.  It's a... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
The N100h is an excellent streamer, been enjoying mine for over a year.  I recenly replaced an AQ coffee USB cable with the Statement cable from http://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/digital-cables-occ-copper-and-occ-silver/Very nice cable, ... 
Croft and LFD comparison with Harbeths
Most reviews I've read seem to suggest that the  LFD is a better match for Harbeths.  Although, I don't own Harbeths speakers anymore, at one time, I was considering upgrading to either the LFD or Leben CS600 integrated amps to power a set of SHL5... 
Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range?
I say checkout the Rogue Cronus Magnum 2.  Nice integrated that looks as good as it sounds.

@linnlingo - 10 years ago, I might have agreed with you, but in the last 10 years, Chinese manufacturing has come a long way. They are starting to really make fine quality electronics, especially if the parent companies are keeping a close eye on ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@david_ten , Thanks man. I hope you enjoy it as much I'm enjoying mine :).  Let me know.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Maybe the word "harsh" is not the right way to put it but I get it, every delta sigma DAC that I’ve heard playing PCM file had a glare compared to a R2R DAC like the Yggy (I only realized this after listening to a R2R DAC for the first time, befor... 
Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it?
Hey Guys....thanks for all your input.  Considering the cost and the reviews I've read, I'm going to try using the Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 1800 first.  
what speakers to buy
I’m on the same page with Troy. What kind of music do you play and how loud? Also, what city do you live in? Being a Vandy fan....I would recommend something from the Vandersteen line. The TREO CT would sound awesome with the Rogues (I have TREO C... 
Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3
@biscorbit - When I was considering the SHL5+ my dealer suggested Belles Aria as amp option as well.   Never heard the combo, but apparently they sound great with Harbeths.  I definitely would also recommend also auditioning a Hegel and the Rogue ...

Let us know how you like your core 1800.  I just ordered one today. Thx 
Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3
I used to own a pair of 7ES3s powered by a Rogue Cronus Magnum 2.  It was a great combo.  I also heard them powered by a LFD and Vinnie Rossi LIO and both were excellent matches.  Also, if you're looking for a tube amp and a step up from something... 
Wow. Tidal now has Internet radio in USA
Are you sure it's Tidal streaming? I know that Aurender added support for SHOUTcast radio stations earlier this year.   
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I would also check out Vandersteen speakers if can find a dealer out there.  Great sound and value.  Good luck!
