Garrard 301 motor and rumble
I appreciate your frustration, but isn't complaining about the high volume rumble of a vintage Garrard 301, kind of like buying a vintage British sports car like a Lotus Super 7, then complaining that you can feel every bump in the road? Isn't it... 
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
@zlone  "Allman Brothers Fillmore East" Great choice.   
Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195?
Where are the blue VU meters?    
Do people tire of audio forums?
@jtcf  I agree about the repetitive nature of some topics, which is why spend more time just researching products and finding answers to questions. That being said, I do wish the software used to search the forum's database was a little less "ba...

Budget Amp for Sonus Faber
It seems, if you are just looking for a power amp you might have a look at the Schiit Vidar. 100w channel and size is 9” x 13” x 3.875”

Does Qobuz work
Definitely sounds like user error, rather than a Qobuz related issue. Try restarting everything from the start. Good luck. Problems suck.  
Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
@inna  "Affection". Hardly. I think a more appropriate word in this context might be "affectation". Maybe you should let us see what you listen to on top of your mountain. It might help me understand your elitist point of view.  
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
Why don't you just get a proper centre channel speaker? In a 5.1 HT system the fronts don't carry the dialogue anyway.  
Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
"Yes, there is both right and wrong, you are simply seemingly unaware of it." There is also pompous, condescending and self-absorbed.

I have also heard rumours of non-Rolex watches that can actually keep the correct time. What a bizarre world we live in.  
SACD is VERY confusing
Never really understood why Sony/Philips did this. Isn't the point to sell SACD's? Making it difficult for people to hear them at their best by putting up roadblocks doesn't seem like much of a business plan.
