Help with XLR ICs.
If you like how a ‘loom sounds’ go for it.    I use Shunyata for power and Kimber Kable for others. I did it over time and don’t see a value to migrate to one manufacturer.   
Is there any fan of Mettalica here?
I enjoy Metallica!  Their music is dynamic for rock not other genres such as some classical, jazz and opera music Case in point is on the S&M album - with the San Francisco symphony - I understand they had to use their typical concern amp set... 
The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change
Adventurous! As long as you are enjoying it - awesome.  If not, then establish a timeline for making changes  
power cord for pass 250.8
@audphile1 +1 Listen to as many as you can.  [I have Shunyata (Alpha v@ NR) and love them and other options like Nordost may float your boat more)  
Do I actually need a dedicated amp/DAC for my setup?
@master_of_pupppets Your opinion is what matters. Can you upgrade?  Sure? Do you need to in order to enjoy music?  Definitely not!   Here's my alternative.  Invest in a (pick one or more): Excellent recliner (I am partial to Stressless) Mus... 
Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading
Do audio racks make an impact?  For me yes, I have an HRS rack and dramatically improved the sonics and performance of my turntable (Rega P8). Wall mounting is an option - just not for me I didn't notice the impact on other components Your m... 
Swiss Options - Piega & Stenheim
No, And I think Stenheim Alumine 5 are the best speakers I've ever heard (not close and I've heard very high end Sonus faber, Focal, and Wilson). I have heard them in someone's house with CH Precision and at an audiofest where the room was horrib... 
Rega P10 with Apheta 3
Interesting opportunity. You would see a significant upgrade going to a P6 or P8 with your current cartridge - I think since it's not planned there's no harm in passing it up. If you feel it's that compelling - invest the money with a 6 month CD... 
Mcintosh C2800 and C55
I wouldn’t buy a replacement component- it’s generally hard to get value for the expenditure.   
What do you like to see included in a manufacturer's website?
I also look for physical dimensions (height, width, depth and weight).      
Did I screw up??? C2700 vs c49
@skydog25 enjoy!

Has anyone abandoned stereo for atmos for music?
I abandoned having a multimedia system for a sound bar and a stereo. Part of my decision was based on living space - I wanted to down size and appreciate an open floor plan. I'm open to listening to music and find some of demos and various inter... 
full range or mini's and a sub
My advice is define what you'd like and your constraints including space, budget and such. My goal is to enjoy music and one of my compromises is no sub - and my space does allow a full range speaker.  Listen to as many different systems as you c... 
Dog pissed on speaker
I've told my dog I will shot him in the head if he attempts #1 or #2 within 10 feet of my speakers.  It's worked so far but he hasn't gotten old and broken down like me yet.
