DVD-A thoughts...
You should have the choice of which "soundtrack" to play as for the video DVD but oviously only from the menu that will appear on the TV screen. Probably it will be possible from the remote control too but not sure if you will see it on the player... 
Gapless playback of FLAC files.
To me is so unbelievable that in 2023 there are still players out there that cannot play gapless correctly (a paramount feature to me)...get a proper streamer as the Bluesound Node and the problem is solved

Thanks @joenies . Tried to contact Avalon through their website about one month ago but didn’t get any reply. It will be great if you can let me have the scan or pics of the pages regarding the speakers positioning. Thanks in advance for your help... 
Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR
@jbhiller I agree on how the Technics looks but Rega tables are very reliable and simpler to repair in case of need. The Technics tonearm is not bad but the Rega is much better imho  
Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR
I have all the turntable you mention in the shop andi did several comparison with customers. As other already said, there is quite a difference between the Technics SL1500 and the SL1200GR, the last one being the better but for sure the SL1500 is ... 
Gapless
It depends on the render/streamer no matter of the server or streaming service in my more than 10 years experience as dealer and user. It's a pity and a shame that some manufacturers are still not able to do products that cannot play gapless today... 
To clean or not to clean...
I wash all the new records before to play it for the first time 
New Bluesound Node – First Impressions

Class D for a Tube Lover
I'm using a pair of Belcanto M300 as summer amp in replacement of my Audio Research Reference 110. The sound of these little cold boxes is surprising when a good tube preamp is driving them (ARC LS5 MKI with some mods in my case). 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
Yamaha WX-AD10 for 129€ is an incredible way to start with the streaming and has a bt receiver too. The musiccast app is working quite well and without issues. Streaming services are served well too and Amazon HD will be added soon. No digital out... 
Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension
@daveyf , I'm using the Onzow for more than 10 years on my cartridges (Ortofon Kontrapunkt Blue first and Cadenza Bronze recently) with no issues. I guess that most of the problems arise from user mistake. I've also used for many years the Last Fo...
