Is there any truth to this question?
NO! Why?... Because everything matters and no two systems will react the same or sound the same. You will have to listen for yourself in your room with your specific components to determine your favorite pairing. Sorry, but that is the way it go... 
Denon or Yamaha
Didn't say they were better. Cannot comment on the Denon or Yamaha. That is why I recommended something I have experience with. I owned the Pioneer Elite VSX-29tx, VSX-39tx and the VSX-59txi, also several Sony ES receivers. I compared them at the... 
Preamp Noob has a question
The Unison Research Unico tube hybrid integrated sounds wonderful and are very well built. Uses the 6922 tube with SS output. Great sound with plenty of power and grunt.

Best 2 Channel SACD with Analog Outs

What contact cleaner do you recommend?

Grills ON or Grills OFF?
My current speakers are designed w/o grills. Prior to that my Dynaudios and Vienna Acoustics sounded best with the grills 'OFF'. Grills should only be used for shipping to protect the drivers from packing mishaps or young children. 
Stillpoints Ultra SS vs spikes on concrete
Pretty hard to get solid concrete to vibrate in the first place. Are you worried about itty, bitty, tiny-tiney micro vibrations that only bats might notice? Speakers by there very nature are designed to work in their respective environment. The sp... 
Best used transport for CD, SACD, DVDA
#1 If you like the unit, it sounds good and it works it will never be obsolete. Just because newer tech comes out that does not justify discarding pieces you have owned that bring you pleasure. This site is full of items that were bought to "repla...
