Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
Klipsch Heresy IV? 
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
Magnum Dynalab - I sent my FT101a, made in the mid 1990's, in for service and could not be more pleased with it now that it’s back. It is their goal to serve customers for the long term. They still service their original FT101 tuners introduced in... 
Fairly new to streaming. Where to start?
Check out the Bel Canto eOne Stream. Has a built in DAC but can be used with an external DAC as well. Includes Bel Canto's Seek App that is also very good. Excellent sound quality. 
Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard
"Could be anything, but a shorted (Zener?) diode in the bridge passing AC and cooking the capacitor would be my guess."I agree with the above. 
Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?
Stock Rega P6 w/Ania MC cartridge is a great sounding combination. Totally quiet operation and a balanced presentation from top to bottom. Replaced a Pro-Ject 2-Xperience SB turntable w/Sumiko Blue Point #2 cartridge.

DQ10s were my first Double Advent stack were my secondFollowed by Fuselier Model 3All 3 highly enjoyable.There have been many more since then, and I mean many.Currently a pair of ATC SCM19v2. Excellent!

Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2
Bel Canto Stream is a nice choice 
Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio:
Bel Canto STREAM with Qobuz app embedded in their own Seek App. $1600 for the STREAM (new) and $15/mo. for the Qobuz subscription. You will never look back my friend. 
Qobuz Special Offer
I just subscribed for the first time. A stone cold bargain. Period. 
Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3
I have owned many Spendor loudspeakers including the SP 2/3R2s as well as earlier versions of this model and can wholeheartedly recommend them. Actually, over the years this is the speaker I have come back to having owned and sold four pairs. Obvi... 
Possible new integrated amp for my new Focal Kanta's
I have heard these speakers with an Arcam A49 and it was a good match. In that situation they are not bright at all, but warm and full with excellent imaging. That being said, this is a very subjective hobby. It's what YOU like, not your dealer. J... 
Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers
One reason the Belles matches up well with Vandersteens is because of the complementary “voicing” of the amp and speakers. It’s one key to any system’s success. Obviously this “match” is well known and well regarded in audio circles and should be ... 
My Cary amp - the story of a hum and a bug
I actually owned the "newer" model of this amp that had the bridge rectifier installed. It still had low level hum in one channel, so the issue is inherent in the design of the amp. I know this because I called Cary and discussed it with them. To ...
