Power Cable Suggestions - Budget
Get an electrician to run a dedicated line, put a better than $2 buck outlet=about the same for a "better power cord. After that, go nuts figuring out "what the best pc?"  
All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music
Ask Alexa if she approves. Get one of these, no fuss    
China built tube amps
Oh no! Another silly MIC thread. The anti MIC's must have a special USA made keyboard computer setup to type their nonsense. Let's see how long this one lasts.

There is an archive FULL of  opinion on this TIRED subject.  
Beautiful listening rooms
"that sort of panel is do-able, but costs a larger fortune to do it." asvjerry- is there someone/company doing this seemingly impossible feat? Do link!    
Beautiful listening rooms
" the acoustic nightmare most of those rooms must be. More reflective surfaces than a solar thermal farm." "Beyond hideous, a lot of these." Last quote lifted from 1st page of the posts. My thoughts are the same, looking beyond the actual rigs.... 
Beautiful listening rooms
Aesthetically pleasing room & good sound is THE biggest challenge. While I get having a "listening room", most just aren't guest friendly-something to have your non hi fi over friends over, for a sit in.   Everyone's idea of a "good looking"... 
Tube phono rec’s for AT Art9XI - Allnic, Modwright, Luxman…
I have demoed 2 of your choices WITH an ART9- Chinook & Allnic Both are solid choices. Purely a subjective "Goldlocks" decision on what you would prefer. There is an Icon Audio tube unit that looks like a good deal listed https://www.audi...

Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ?
"There is quite an improvement in SQ over my VPI Aries 2 and Grado Statement 2 cart." That's a nice table you have there skinzy. Enjoy. If you're still curious about other tube options, have you looked at the NVO? It was the buzz in the forums ... 
Synergistic ECTs
Majority thumbs down YET.... Carry on.  
Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real
It's an internet forum... What's difficult about ignoring an agitator? They eventually drop off. If posters just stay on topic and ignore, agitator finds anther sandbox to play in. Pretty simple. Some may need to get out more often or find ano... 
Recommend repair tech in so Cal
George Meyer is legit. I've had concerns resolved by them.  The issue is if they can get the schematic. May be a good idea to email Icon Audio about their authorized repair centers. Some companies will not release schematics to just any repair f... 
The Boss is the Bo$$
"I guess all of you Springsteen bashers are much better song writers than Bruce." Tough crowd in here, tglib. I  could care less about an artists personal beliefs, as it seems to bother some. Springsteen did a heck of a lot better than ZZ Top w...
