Updating my streamer
@baylinor I've used my R26 for streaming and the sound quality is quite good.  I preferred it to streaming with my Node. The R26 has no streaming software, so I used Audivarna installed on a laptop.  The Gustard is hard wired to the router.  Lapt... 
Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters.
@helomech i haven't heard the Parasound, but I think I get good slam and depth from my Coda. I suppose speakers, cables, and everything else play into that.

@willywonka thats cool.  I assume you've met Doug Dale?  Real nice guy.  I've spoken to him on the phone, but never met him. I bought my first Coda over 20 years ago. It was the original Continuum Stage. The capacitors were starting to go bad.  D...

@audphile1 I was going to say that my Coda Continuum No 8 V1 is barely warm.  Mine also runs class A up to 18 watts.   
Rel sub
Analysis Plus makes nice cables for REL subs. That's what I use.    
LAIV Harmony
I've had two components develop issues due to age. A solid state amp and a tube preamp.  Seems to me that components can fail in any piece of electronics.  I like the performance of my Gustard r2r dac, so I think I'll hang onto it and see what hap... 
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
Price was $26k if I'm not mistaken.   
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
There was a used pair at a local dealer when I was shopping for speakers last June. They weren't set up well to demo them (they could be hooked up in a hallway). Delivery and set up was $3k.  No returns.  No way was I going to do that.   
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
Man, I can relate.  I've been back and forth with cables. Different combinations, etc.  I've learned that certain songs sound great with just about any cable. I have to play a broad sample to see how the cables work with a variety of songs.   
Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions
I haven't heard the Raven, but what I've found with the LTA MicroZOTL is that the sound quality is greatly effected by tube selection. Mine originally had Trigon tubes which honestly sucked.  Telefunken and Siemens tubes were tons better.  Brimar ... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
When I bought my Innuos Zen Mk3, I bought a new tablet. I like the Sense app and the new tablet is a lot better than my old tablet.  I mostly stream now.  I will hang on to my Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player, but it doesn't get used much.  Cds that a... 
Gustard C16 clock
@boulder_bob ​​​​​​ Thank you for the reply.  I think you have the connections spelled out correctly.  I guess I don't really understand how the clock works.  It sends a signal to the ddc, but no signal goes into the clock.   Supposedly, Gustard... 
Gustard C16 clock
@tksteingraber ​​​​​​ The U18 has an input and output, but I only see outputs on the C16 unless I'm missing something.   
Cartridge upgrade
I have the same TT.  I wasn't super impressed with the Virtuoso wood cartridge despite the great reviews.  I bought a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and it was a big improvement.  I'm using it with a Sutherland TZ Vibe phono preamp.   
Coolest song I ever heard!
That does sound really cool. Unfortunately, I'm out of town and listening on my phone. I'll check it out when I get home.  There are lots of cool songs. One that I like is Friend or Foe by Riverside.    https://youtu.be/-BCXXbuQHxs?si=IVY8bEHA-...
