In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment
They're obviously committed to boosting the economy :) 
Spectral service
I guess from the dearth of responses that Spectral gear just doesn't need service? 
Spectral/MIT
bigcigarman; interesting observation by someone who knows. Nicely and gently put.  Honestly, most people just won't ever hear Spectral - but they will have a comment ;)  
Spectral Amp
Pls1- it's a fair question; that I can't answer though I "swear" by Spectral (because they're in the room I frequent :)) ; but    if your hearing is flat to 19K---- Call Guiness-- you deserve a place in the record (pardon the pun :(  ) books :) 
Little Richard RIP
I saw and met Little Richard at the opening of a car dealership In Delta ,BC ; a good ways back; probably early 80's. The guy was sharp, sober and all business. Put on a great show. Had to be paid in full, in cash, before he would step on stage !! 
Rock concerts

stand-mount speakers for classical music
Revel M126Be. Check the numerous positive reviews. 
How to polish Wilson Audio speaker
After your happy with polishing I would use Mequiars Ultimate Liquid Car Wax. Absolutely non abrasive and will make dusting easier for a very extended period.  
Biwire fix
Look for MIT Cables :)  or contact Joe Abrams at Equus Audio. Knowledgeable, helpful, honest. 
Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player
I found the use of an Equitech 2Q  for isolation plus an MIT Oracle AC power cable made a nice difference. (I had them prior to picking up my near the end of the line 205-- a little pricey relative to the Oppo; but it shows the 205 has potential b...
