Anyone know of when the new Innuos Software platform will be released?
When I was considering an Innuous product recently the dealer I spoke to said it should be released sometime this summer - next 2 months or so. 
speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks
Forte III's pair well with the tube amps in your wattage range, as I use them very successfully with 40 watt tube amp myself.  However, they are not the last word in imaging and detail - they are just fun and immersive, like live music.  If imagin... 
Saved Music Pulled from streaming services!
I believe licensing agreements can expire...just like movies you may find on Netflix for instance.  I've seen this happen numerous times on both Tidal and Qobuz. 
How do you power EU items? and how to ship an item to USA?
I know some people use step down transformers. 
Female Vocals - Nora Jones new album - Pick Me Off The Floor
@tweak1    your lack of getting into either likely has to do with something in your system It's not my system, which doesn't discriminate only against Nora and Diana while making hundreds of other vocalists sound wonderful - it's the overly soot... 
Looking for phono preamp suggestions
@almarg   Good point and I wasn't thinking about the built-in loading options as I use a SUT with my Luxman.@newtoncr  Yes, I was thinking about the balanced output as opposed to input.  Sorry about that.

Luxman EQ-500.  I own this as well as the Herron VTPH-2A and the Luxman is superior in every way and has the XLR's you're seeking.  Yes, it costs more but it is well worth it IMO.

Aurender's "Sound"
I have never viewed upsampling as a fix for anything...it can however mask underlying problems with your gear that sound poorly in native.   
Seeking Feedback from Leben CS-600x Owners
@ghasley  Perfect description to help me sort out the comments I've read.  I do indeed think any criticisms I've heard on lack on tubey sonics are likely from those seeking a very wet euphonic texture.  I will certainly look into the Leben further... 
Seeking Feedback from Leben CS-600x Owners
Thanks for both responses.  I'm considering pairing with Devores although I've heard that the Leben may not have the most "tubey" sonics.  Does that ring true with you @ghasley ? 
Aurender's "Sound"
what preamp are you using? I've had good success tweaking tubes on my preamp to dial in that perfect tone. 
Female Vocals - Nora Jones new album - Pick Me Off The Floor
It is interesting - I know there are so many audiophiles who really dig both Nora and Diana but neither have ever resonated with me. There’s too much tentativeness in their voice and delivery - just always struck me as "lightweights" who lacked em... 
How to add depth for classical music
Agreed with two posts above me regarding room treatments...but I think you may also want to consider a single (or pair) of subs.  Your speakers only go down to 38Hz and that's likely limiting the depth of sound stage and layering that you seek.  S...
