Brand new recording of the Mozart concerto with Basset + a modern concerto written for Basset. https://www.amazon.com/Flow-Concertos-Annelien-Van-Wauwe/dp/B09RG8FQ6Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2T5V8M8F0M716&keywords=Annelien+Van+Wauwe&qid=1662483552... 
Why not?
AGD is another company that includes a very nice high quality PC with each of its products.  
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
@soix There's quite a lot of useful info. in this thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tube-rolling-advice-for-the-backert-labs-rhumba-extreme  
Did you notice....
Oh no!  Darko has spoken!    
Shave your CDs
Applying Old Spice to both sides after shaving improves tone, though you do have to let it settle down for a couple of minutes first.  
Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
Seems like several of the boutique Purifi builders, Apollon, Rouge, VTV, March, are using the new module, but none of the big boys have come out with a new model yet, AFAIK.  
Looking for Speaker Recommendations
If the OP considers Vandersteen "possibly too wide" (see his post above) then a lot of these recommendations are not going to work.  
Class D Amplification Announcement
I bought a cheap Emotiva class A/B amp, but it didn't do it for me, so I tossed in it the trash.  Based on that experience, I dismissed class A/B as an inferior amplifier topology.  
recommended speakers for Raven Blackhawk 3.1
Once again, any of Fritz's models are easy to drive, and sound excellent.  
Help fine-tune my speaker search
OK, so now the other place you need to go is Verdant Audio in Jersey City.

You're right to stay away from B&W and Focal.  I also think you can do better than Wilson. As for auditioning, it depends on where you live, but brands you should listen to with deeper market penetration (more stores carry them) are Vanderste... 
Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went?
Something's up with Virtual Systems.  A long time ago (a year?) virtual systems disappeared for me at the end of the daily "Recent Activity" page.  A couple of days ago, they finally made their reappearance and they're there right now.

Magnus Audio-any of the four power amps.  
Ideal power cord lengths?
4 meter PCs from Nordost will definitely optimize profits for Nordost.  Not sure about the sound though.

Wot!   No Vandersteen? And then there's the Gershman Avant-Garde.
