Audiophile system with Yamaha core and wired main and wireless remotes
I would definitely look at a Yamaha MusicCast system.   Done.  
To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions
I'm currently running some vintage Bugle Boy 6922's, vintage Sylvania JAN 6SN7's and a set of E.H. 6CA7s, (biased at 40mA).  This is my favorite combo so far for my Vienna Acoustic speakers.   With the above combo and a set of Sovtec 6922's it ca...

Broken-in cables? oO  
The Galion Audio TS A75 amplifier: Great amplifier for very little money
It's pretty new so it takes some time for the few people here that might own it to see this thread and reply.    
Better 12V power supply for the Acoustic Revive RR-77?
You can convert it to battery power.  I did that with my phono preamp.  I might have to charge it once a month or so if I listen to a lot of vinyl.  
Recommendation for higher power tube amp
Hopefully after 5 years he made a decision.  
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
In my experience, the power tubes have just as much of an impact on sound as the preamp tubes.    
New speakers for a new start?
As much as I love Thiels, and I even owned some in the past, the fact that sourcing parts is getting harder and harder worries me.   If you're open to open-baffles, check out the Caladans from Clayton Shaw.  They look interesting, for sure.  
Add a subwoofer?
If you just want a little more bass, but don't have much money, how about adding a simple Schiit Lokius to add a bit more umph down low?  2 of the lowest bands are at 20Hz and 120Hz so feathering in those controls to taste should give you what you... 
Affordable Grounding
That's not how grounding works.  That's an alligator clip, a piece of wire and a wood block (an insulator).   Your Nordost component is (should be) grounded through it's power cord to your power outlet, which in turn should be connected (bonded) ... 
Is It Worh Modding An Amp
I would just roll tubes. Easy to do, easily reversible, many combinations available between all the preamp and power tube combos, won’t hurt resale, plus the unused tubes can be kept for future amps or just resold.  
Best choice for small form Amp for desktop
You can add the NAD D3045, Pro-Ject MaiA S3, Rega Brio and the PS Audio Sprout to the list.  
Subwoofer Hum When Connected to Integrated Amp
Usually the outside, ring portion of the RCA connectors are grounded.  You should show 0 Ohms when placing 1 probe on the chassis ground and those RCA's.   You should also show 0 Ohms when testing between the Creek amp and the RCA connector on th... 
Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation
Are powered speakers an option?  
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
The Decware offerings are great, but if buying new, there's about a 4-year waitlist.  Also, they don't have remotes. Cary Audio has 2 offerings that will fit the budget, but one is a 300B based amp and only makes 15wpc.  That might be fine if you...
