A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
Does this transport operate like the PS Audio units? Laser reads disc, info put on a “digital lens,” info sent to dac.  
Favorite Cowboy Junkies?
The movie “Natural Born Killers” was my introduction to their music.  
So Hard to Decide on an Amp
So many options. If possible, try many.  
Anthem STR or BHK (PS Audio) preamp?? Thoughts
The BHK is a fine unit. The tube stage is nice. Have never heard the STR. It appears to be about 2 grand cheaper. Looking at their website, it appears to be a very nice unit. 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Reference Steak-umms recent give and take with  Mr. Tyson.  
The Worst Room...
mapman The Ohm Walsh appear to be a great solution for this issue. I’ve read many of your posts over the years regarding these speakers. Once a used set becomes available in a location somewhat near here....

roxy54 That is a blessed situation. Very nice indeed! 
What Makes your System Special?
“Is there something you would want to change?”Oh my yes. Always changing. Ever evolving.  
XLR cables, worth buying higher end?
Maybe? Buy a nice quality set of used cables and set of the cheapos and compare/contrast.  
Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect?
Many times I’ve purchased units with issues. Many Have been restored to full operation. Some have taught me a lot about how much I don’t know. Nothing gambled, nothing gained?

Adcom 535L upgrades?
Musical Concepts/Musical Design may be a rebuild or upgrade path as well. They are not cheap but their work is top shelf.  
What Rap available on vinyl sounds great on a good system?

+1 for the Teddy Pardo unit. Well built. Quick turnaround. Great resale value.  
Sunlight....
Glad to hear of your success! It is indeed an interesting improvement. It appears this is the last upgrade of this unit. It will be interesting to see what the next generation unit brings to the table.
