Solid State Phono Stages
I would love to hear the new Gold Note PH-1000. I use the GN PH-10 and it's so versatile and sonically full and detailed. If the PH-1000 is significantly better it just might be the end game for many    
2022 - Ideal Network Transport
@gibsonluva I'm using a Roon Nucleus and then added a Teddy Pardo ps and heard a nice improvement, not earthshaking but worth the $500. A friend went from a Node to M5 and the improvement was WOW. Just my own experience.

Amp Upgrade Path?

Upgrading my Auralic Vega G1 streaming dac
@hlkaye take what audiotroy says with 2 grains of salt, he's just trying to push the 432evo he sells. The Bricasti M3 is wonderful straight up. Heard it many times at my dealer. I've been contemplating getting it and trading my M1 in.   
The best phono cartridge alignment tool
I find the STP (spindle to pivot) distance the most crucial. Yes all parameters are crucial but 1st get the STP spot on. I like the Feickert myself.  
The panic selling of tube audio had begun.
@grislybutter hope you your family & friends are safe and well. Prayers to all.

Latest On Pathos Classic Remix
I think, since last Sunday, I have heard incremental improvements Sounds like this really isn't going to be satisfying for you in the long run. Return it and save for what will make you smile.
