2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine
Dereneville Audio to my opinion is not worth the money (5K for a motor!) and i was advised to stay away from it by another Analog fanatic friend of mine.  
2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine
Iv not really had time to get into all this for the motor, Iv been wanting to upgrade but find it rather dificult on which ones to choose and now considering if the simple tweeks might be sufficent enough for some SQ upgrade.   Spending 4-5 K ju... 
Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier
105db or higher for 5 watt to sound sufficently good enough at decent volume level and even then it depends on the room and seating distance. These amps struggle with bass.   Personally i would not touch flea watt amps unless my speaker is 110db...

No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
 Its more about the experience, but this audiophile market pricing is going crazy now have to agree on this. Its putting allot of people off. some people are giving up and sticking to intergrated lower end systems.  
Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos?
I prefer the Hana Umami slightly warmer tone its more foriving on most crappy recordings but excellent on the best of the best recording too. Depends from systems to system but the hana is more musical overal to my ears.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Iv ordered The Lin-Lais and the Globes too. Waiting to try them out.  
Any experience with TAD speakers ?
I have the Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Field Coils 16 Ohms and the T3.4 Field Coils also at 16ohms. All the Drivers use TAD, John Wolff modifies the TAD Drivers and converts them to Field Coils this takes allot of work and money to do. Howeve...
