Wow an old album that rocked your world
Trout Mask Replica. It was a result of the convergence of several extraordinary factors which flashed like a lighting bolt in a split second in time that can never be replicated. There never was and will never be anything remotely like it.Pure una... 
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
tooblu, point taken, I guess what I was trying to convey was that if you were to purchase blues records on the basis of sound quality you would be denying yourself access to some of the finest music on the planet. The words Chess and Alligator com... 
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
Quite frankly I‘m not that bothered about the the SQ of most of the blues records in my collection. Some of the most blistering and emotional  performances could only be be described as mediocre in terms of SQ, whereas the sheer joy they provide c... 
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.
From a glance at the manufacturer’s website your amp appears to be far more sensibly designed thermally.

Looking at those spacings the word ‘Chernobyl’ keeps meandering into my subconscious.Caveat emptor 
Do I go from a Primaluna HP Integrated to Schiit Freya+ and a pair of Aegir Amps?
If you want bigger faster louder make sure the Prima Luna is running KT150s.Otherwise save up enough pennies to make a real upgrade. With Forte IIIs the amp is unlikely to be a system bottleneck. I suggest you look for improvements elsewhere. 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
Making choices based on theoretical reasoning based on filtered feedback from a forum is not a wise methodology  for component selection.What you are really seeking is positive reinforcement for your decision. 
Turntable Mat question
A 20+ yr old ringmat. They appear to have gone Uber complex now with extra things you put under them. I’m really happy with the basic mat. 
I wan't the best in this price range
Agree with atmasphere. Under your current strategy you’re just chasing your tail and chewing up $$$$$$$. Zu‘s just don‘t require 175W solid state amps unless you are into inducing hearing loss. Toss the monos and see if you can get your old amps b... 
Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good???
BJC represent good value at their priice point. No more no less.They can be bettered if you are willling to put in some listening time with cables further up the food chain. 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Once you have proved all cable manufacturers wrong how do you think they are going to feed their children?I don't think you have any social conscience.

b4icu, you’re not not related to Jeff Medwin are you? 
Platter mat insanity
Interesting: I have used a ringmat for years after trying just about everything available.Nothing I have tried has been able to persuade me to make a change. This is probably one of the bestexamples of the use of air suspension with minimal ccmtac... 
How does cable length affect sound?
Don’t waste your money on power "conditioners". There is NOTHING wrong with the AC from your outlets!I don‘t recall the OP stating or asking anything about power conditioners. Why post off topic clickbait when it is totally uncalled for? 
Does this image give you claustrophobia?
I can‘t help but wonder how many of his components are thermally  challenged due to their total enclosure.
