Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
@impaler $ 238.70 over 1k here is a Lumin D2 Network Streamer; Upgraded Sbooster Linear PSU. Try Qobuz (and don't look back).

Here’s another voice in the dark that at first used a MacBook, then a Bluesound .....great place to start .. hint hint) and then a better streamer and DAC. My wife who could give a rat’s behind care about all of this also noticed the improvements.... 
CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?
 I do not know of a streaming service that outperforms multi-channel SACD ... Have you tired Qobuz larger FLAC files on a higher end streamer and DAC setup? It's not possible to hear any difference.  My test subject is just me.  
CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?
PS: what is the benefit nowadays using CD’s instead of a nice DAC/Streamer combo? Both good/great is done right BUT the selection with streaming is astounding. Go to a show or shop and check it out. Lot's of good used stuff for starter streamer... 
new member, some questions, need help please
Where in the country are you located?    
Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
Rogers 65V-2 Integrated Tube Amplifier. If you call you get for less than the eBay listing price. Rogers High Fidelity integrated Amps are the real deal.  
It was the output tubes all along...
@orthomead My amp had to be modified to use the KT170 tubes. That i should be dotted. If you get ‘em (Do!) please report after they have settled in.

@orthomead There are certainly more august minds that have penned well reasoned advice above. In the KISS realm a pair of subs with (say a pair of REL classic 99's that will run under 4k delivered) settings and placements fiddled with will yield ... 
What Power Amplifier Should I Buy?
Still think, despite your devotion to them, the Revel's are your issue. Please don't shoot the messenger. Why not try something else? Vandersteen, Tannoy or Focal to name a few.    
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
@fthompson251 No over basseness. (If that’s a word) Uncoloured. Feel no need to tube roll but naturally will someday.   
What Power Amplifier Should I Buy?
This is a fantastic Pre. The Raven Preamplifier by Don Sachs and Lynn Olson. Lots more here on Agon. Yes I have one and it's rumored I'm a fan. But Speakers are requirement one.  
What Power Amplifier Should I Buy?
Another vote for a pair of subs. Likely the Revel f208's may not 'get 'er done." ( You removed the Usher speakers. ) Perhaps investing in better $peakers is the key. The single sub may be vibrating your gear especially the turntable.  Room is w...

Also went from KT88's to KT170's. There's magic in the 170s.  
Qobuz
No. Have close to 200 playlists. What app do you use?  
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
@brbrock I got the Spatial Pre and Mono's. In itself I couldn't say the Ravin is the cat's PJ's as I'm thrilled with the whole system/room the Raven pre is the heart of. I was able to compare the Spatial suite to 1.) a Lumin Amp w/ Lumin X1 and 2...
