Pass Labs Int-30a or Naim 282- 250 combo
The so called experts on Audiogon do not have to live with your purchase. Buy the one you liked the most.Great advice. 
Ohms law?
Ditto the above,whatever sounds best to you. 
Upgrading Rotel RCD-1072
I have a Cary CDP-1 that I like a lot.It's basically the solid state section of the 303/300.It has lots of nice features you can check out on the Cary website.I use mine with a Rogue Audio Tempest II Magnum tube integrated.I don't see how you coul... 
Do I need room treatments? floor plan included
You can take a decent $20,000 system but if you put it in a closet, it's gonna sound like crap.Don't try to talk a Japanese audiophile into this concept. They pack Tannoy Westminsters and Klipschorns in tiny rooms with flea powered SET amps.They s... 
MFSL Gold Little Feat
I was disappointed with "Sailin' Shoes" on my main player. I played it on my super cheap Sony changer thru my cheap LitE DAC Ah! and it sounded much better.Go figure!! 
Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire?
Hmmmm. I doubt that Home Depot type wire is the same quality as, say, DG Labs, which is silver coated copper with shielding and vibration damping...You didn't mention you were looking for these features in your OP.I guess we have different ideas o...

Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire?
Go to Home Depot,Lowes,Ace Hardware,electrical supply store,etc. and get some 12/3 or 10/3 SO cord.About a buck a foot. 
I had no idea
Roy Clark is a stringed instrument wizard.Don't be put off by the country bumpkin "Hee Haw" persona. 
Any Good Howlin Wolf CDs
It was great hearing Wolf with all the British guys on the London Sessions.They made him some well deserved money and turned on a lot of people to his music that would otherwise never have heard it. 
Johnny Cash
Cash has one of those voices people either love or hate,like Dylan,Willie Nelson and Levon Helm.I happen to admire all of them. 
Soundsmith's turnaround time?
D,"the customer is eventually satisfied" is not a real flattering description of how a business should operate.BTW,nobody has accused them of being "shady".Maybe I just expect more from a business. 
Soundsmith's turnaround time?
Whether or not the "work is stellar" or "the wait is worth it",a company should acknowledge when a customer communicates with them.The treatment you are recieving is just bad business practice that seems to be happening more and more according to ... 
RCA to RCA vs. RCA to XLR
You get no benefit using unbalanced to balanced,why pay for it.Just a thought.
