Von Schweikerts What amp sounds best?
VSA tends to use VAC amplifiers at their shows so it would seem they feel there is some synergy there.  I had amazing sound with my VSA dB99 & Yamamoto A-08S, but obviously that was a very specific & specialized setup.  
Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle
I'm using 2 Furutech GTX-D(G) and 1 GTX-D(R). I got a great deal on the set. Paid $265 delivered for all 3 outlets, plus 3 carbon fiber plates, plus 3 GTX outlet frames.

eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
eBay has not held funds on my auctions. Due to their new screwed up system, I don't ship until the payment clears into my account. Of course, I use eBay more like a garage sale to move things I no longer need (e.g. computer parts). Their fees are ... 
Favorite cable brand.
I like to DIY with Mogami. I use DH Labs for power cords. 
SGC vs Roon Nucleus
I feel like it would be cheaper to just build a computer. Granted you wouldn't have much in the way of support other than having to contact the manufacturer if your RAM, SSD, processor, etc....had problems.My PC is an Intel DH77DF motherboard, i7-...

TIDAL on SALE!
Thanks. I got the email a couple of minutes after I posted. Been on the fence about trying Tidal. At that price, it was a no brainer.
