Does good technology guarantees musicality?
Good question/theory Chris.....after living down the block from the Twilight Zone for decades,its been decided without upgraded/modded ears,its irrelevent dare I say hardly necessary to go beyond stock equipment including DAC's to go beyond stock ...

Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new
What a wonderful wacky world we have all stumbled into.Like trying to describe fire to a blind man and trying to relate what we just heard to another listener.Never easy,usually futile,ultimately enriching.Yes,my friend,time for another cuppa,and ... 
best preamp under 4000 to match 4b sst
A Premium modded Counterpoint is a great match with Bryston amps in case you come across a deal on older one....options are a good thing as usual here....

Can speaker cabinet vibrations be fixed?
Concur with Stanwal.Use 2x2 material cut to size,make sure pieces are straight.Should be able to get a screw-gun inside to do the job.Determine screw length on a practice piece as all screwguns have a different torque.Don't glue until your happy,j... 
best pre -amp under 4000$
Whats your amp for now?Room size?Music loudness/genre preference?Headbanger,Classical,Jazz or a combo of all types.Extremely,dangerously flawed according to Tvad which is my position also.Give us 25 push-ups and re-state the question.Make that 50....
