Power Conditioning on the Cheap
Providing your budget would help. So, not having a clue regarding your budget, CorePower Deep Core  
Recommendation for Digital Coax
Either Pangea Premier XL or DHLabs both specs appear identical. 1.5m ~ $170  
Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade
Technics SU-R 1000 would be on my shortest list. Gorgeous looks, + modern GaN technology. I have owned a LSA 350 GaN amp for over a year, and love it, love it, love it. If the recording is warm you'll hear it in its glory. If the recording is not,... 
ATMA-SPHERE MA-1 MK11.3 with magnepans, am I completely mad?!
WOW, if that works out, I'll bet you'll have a killer system. Would love to hear it  
Power Distribution
I, too, have a 20 amp dedicated line, BUT, huge gains are made with my Core Power 1800 PLC  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
+1 for the LSA Voyager GaN 350. It is very chameleon like. Lovely oldies like Ella and Louie, Leonard Cohen sound full bodied rich and in the room. Lessor recordings sound, well, Lessor. Great value MSRP $3000, a veritable bargain compared to man... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
MoFi I Robot, a DSD/SACD recording that plays on my Audiolab CDT 6000 transport and AA DAC. I wasn't sure it would  
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Leonard Cohen 2 disc set, disc 1   Concert for George disc 2  
Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
From plenty of experience breaking in new speakers, 500 hours is not unrealistic, unless a break in disc or other devices are used. Also, not all speakers are a match for all electronics   IMO, they look amazing, and well thought out, probably a... 
Audiolab CDT 6000 Owners: Share the Love + Need help with time settings for Pause
It’s tricky for sure After pressing the button for ~ 3 seconds, it will start scrolling through the options, as soon as your see NEVER, release the button   IF THAT DOESN"T WORK after pressing the button for ~ 3 seconds, immediately/quickly pr... 
Audiolab CDT 6000 Owners: Share the Love + Need help with time settings for Pause
The remote is not intuitive and the way the manual lists the remote features is pathetic Quibbles aside, it is a huge improvement for me over using cd players as transports.   My 6000 is connected to an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 via a 1.5m Pan... 
Audiolab CDT 6000 Owners: Share the Love + Need help with time settings for Pause
Once you scroll through to NEVER, simply stop scrolling and it does not go into Standby, but if you pause in the middle of a song, eventually it does stop spinning while returning to regular screen hth  
Audiolab CDT 6000 Owners: Share the Love + Need help with time settings for Pause
It doesn't function the way I intuited it would. What I find is the Never setting means it will stop spinning the disc eventually, BUT, not go into Standby. hth  
Will a new Dac improve the sound?
In decades past I used transports with outboard DACs. Being retired for 5+ years living on SS, I streamlined my front end , making due using my Oppo 105 (with aftermarket power supply). The following worked out for me because I have an Audio Alche... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
Underwood HiFi sells LSA speakers direct. Great reviews and great prices   Also, I saw a pair of Emerald Physics 4.8s in the classifieds yesterday MSRP ~ $5000, but asking < $2000. I have the 3.4s (same speaker but sans 15" woofers) and I lov...
