Footers under new speakers
On the first post in this string, I mentioned that the most likely consensus would be that Townshend Podiums are the most universally recommended solution. Also, that I probably needed to heed my own advice and get some. So, I did. I received them... 
Unable to read an original cd
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good to hear about Ayre customer service... great company. I have one of their DACs Also, interesting about the copy of the CD working. Good thing to know,   
which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup?
Most tables have RCA out only. It is unusual still to have a balanced out. I have never tried modifying a table for balanced. But I am sure some people here have done it. I'll be interested in hearing what they have to say about the sound quality ... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
Glad it sounds like you are headed in the right direction. It is not a matter of bandwidth. Streaming takes almost no bandwidth. The problem tends to be in wifi receivers inside of streamers. They tend to cut in and out. I have found this on $3K s... 
Streamer recommendation
Come on Casey. You know the answer to that question. The Aurrender. The rest of your equipment shows you are not into cutting corners. I am sure you have proven to your sell that the high quality stuff is worth it. If you get a BlueSound... you wi...

I would recommend getting the system together and breaking (re-breaking) it in. Then start thinking about cables. I use DHLabs as budget standard to break stuff in a decide where to go from their. If you find the top end a bit hot, then Cardas can...

It is!  
Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer?
Yep... a second sub. While it will be good for explosions on TV... most importantly it will extend the sound stage of your two channel system. I  
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
I recommend putting a wifi extender close to your audio system and plug in to that for your signal. Depending on the rest of your equipment the better the streamer the better the sound quality and the more isolation from the network. Streamers lik... 
Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond
@buellrider97  Are you asking if the sonic characteristics are shared across, say interconnects, usb and power cords of the same brand and tier? I have noticed that the same brand and tier of speaker wire, interconnect and power cord has the sam... 
What's a good alternative to SF amati g5?
@emergingsoul  I don't have a lot of pre 2000 photos... although probably 1,000. As digital cameras came into their own, this became possible. It has been amazing as it became possible to take photos of people... then at night, then people at nig... 
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
@1971gto455ho  You sure are cynical.  While there are a few companies that attempt and get away with charging "excessive" prices for their products, they are far between. Certainly not in tiny markets in highly discretionary markets. If folks do...

Amazing, you got your once in a lifetime reprieve from Murphy.  
How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there.
