I owned the Rega DAC as well. As mentioned above, I would add that, yes very analog sound, but not engaging. It wasn’t analytical and fairly musical but just not engaging. I traded it in on the Chord Cutest and am happy with it, but as my audio-it... 
Running Springs Audio Harley
I have both the Hailey and a Jaco. I bought them both new or as show demos actually. Mine have been working fine but as mentioned the company is dead, which is a shame. One of the features of the RSA products were the high end capacitors that the ... 
Sound bar versus surround system
I have had a surround system for years and continue to build on it. I have been to friends/relatives homes and heard soundbars from lower end to higher end. Although they do present the sound track very well and they do have the ability to give th... 
Ayre ayrelink adapter to 3.5mm for 12v Trigge

If you could go to one Audio Fest this year, which one would it be?
I have been to every Rocky Mtn Audio Fest since the first year. Obviously last year that was not possible, but I plan to go this year if they hold it and knees permitting. 
Vinyl cleaning - Ultrasonic vs. Walker products
I second on the Ultrasonic. I had a VPI 16.5 And use day the Walker 4 Step system for a few years and then bought the Audio Desk System. The Walker did do a good job, but what a time consuming process and I think the UD does a better job.  
Need adjustable shelving TV stand for large Revel C208 center channel speaker
Looks like either Salamander Archetype or Quadraspire. Either is adjustable, I use the Salamander Synergy which offers a lot of flexibility. 
Wood cutting services in South California?
Contact a cabinet making shop. Take them the drawings and tell the wood species you want to use. Or got to a woodworking supply store e.g. woodcraft or rockier and ask the staff if they know of someone and they can sell you the material as well. 
Replacement for Marantz AV8801: another prepro or receiver?
