Commercial streamer (bricasti m5 spotlighted) vs Raspberry Pi 4 implementation.
@essrand I own a Bricasti M1 but the M12 is my end goal. Bricasti says ethernet is superior to USB. Have you compared these options in your M12? Looking forward to your thoughts. 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
@gte357s if there's nothing wrong with your current speaker/amp setup and you are basing your desire on a YouTube video I think you would be wasting your $$$" IMHO. Not only will you need a new amp but also different cables to best match. 
Bricasti Amplifier M25
@indranilsen enjoy. I've heard the same combo at a dealers shop and it was the best I've heard. He says part of the reason is you're using one less ac cord and one less interconnect, less is always better. Enjoy 
Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension?
I used a wall mount many yrs ago just awful results. While playing music with bass just place your hands on the wall where your wall mount would be and "feel" the vibrations. Even if placed in studs did not help YMMV

@indranilsen any updates on your amp quest? Someday hope to own a Bricasti amp myself.

Bought a Kirmus for $725 from Sounds Of Silence and it works great but honestly I don’t do all the steps as outlined in the manual. In fact dealer told me to skip a few and works fine, blacker backgrounds and very few ticks and pops. Had a VPI pre...

Have you heard of Block audio monoblock amplifiers
Heard them at Axpona 2019. Gorgeous looking and well made but they had them playing Block Audio monitors so couldn't get a good sense of what was going on. The setup really didn't impress but again this was in show conditions 
Dac upgrade
@newtoncr curious if you ever heard/tried any Bricasti dac? Very musical IMO. 
Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC

Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC
Look into the Gold Note PH10 it's extremely flexible and sounds wonderful. I got one new for under 1300 add the power supply and you're at around the 2k mark. I think it will impress. 
Streaming: WiFi or wired??
@classdstreamer what low noise power supply did you add to your modem/router? 
Ultrasonic: should I do it?
Friend had an Audiodesk and he didn't think it was worth the $$$. Brought some of my LPs over and it did a good job but I bought the Kirmuss then cleaned the same albums. Wow so much blacker background and better dynamics. I do not do all the step...
