@toddverrone I rotated my 3D plot so you can see well the time axis. Your time axis comes almost straight out of the page... Here is a good resource. http://www.bobgolds.com/RT60/rt60.htmIt has a table at the bottm of the page specifying recommend...

@toddverroneTry to plot RT60 time for various frequencies.In the bass you should aim for less than 1 and around 0.4 over the rest. Also adjacent RT60 times should be similar - so your reverberation needs to be even to sound right and natural. A la... 
Is my Cal Audio Sigma II too old?
Yes too old. It might even benefit from a recap. Save up until you have the 2k you need and do it right. Dont compromise and buy sh-t. 
high frequency intermittent noise
A choke is an inductor that chokes off high frequencies.The reason I think it is coming from the speakers and back into the Amp is because you have tried other steps.An very strong HF signal hitting the tweeter coil might also cause core saturatio... 
high frequency intermittent noise
This RF/EM signal must be picked up by the voice coil in the tweeter and it is likely a powerful megaHz signal and would be inaudible if it didnt cause problems for the amplifier(which tries to surpress distortion with negative feedback so as to m...

What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
@raymonda    You can't share anything of your vast experience with Geoff (or get him to admit he is wrong) even though your experience with compresion and punch is standard audio industry practice. Geoff is as slippery as the snale oil he purveys ... 
power cords with active shielding
Shielding adds capacitance and will have negligible benefit. A waste of time. 
Dedicated Music server vs Mac mini on a Devialet via Ethernet (AIR) connection
@roestano  Digital is digital. Bits are bits. So you dont need to worry about noise if you assume Devialet has built a robust device with good power supply and have separated and isolated the digital logic circuits from contaminating the DAC secti...
