which tube dac? Lab 12 vs Line Magnetic vs Borderpatrol?
I have the Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference.    It's a great sounding DAC.   I bought it with a 1 year trade up to something 2X the cost but I knew early in that I wasn't going to do that.   I've had it three years , about 6 or 8 months ago I replaced the s...

Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain?
I only use DSP with subwoofers.   My main system has a sub with DSP and room correction and my second system has a Velodyne sms1 sub controller/eq.      Works well for me.

Adventures With Subwoofers
For years I have put my Subs on an Aurelex Sub Dude isolation platform.   Cheapest way to eliminate boomy bass.   That and a low X over that does not excite room modes.      
Sound Performance Lab
SPL gear is high quality.   Made in Germany.   I demo'd their Phonitor headphone amp when i was looking at different headphones and it was excellent .  
Single driver full range speakers
I tried a single driver speaker and while it sounded great at lower volumes it just didn't do it for me after a while.   I admit I fell in love with their presentation of vocals and imaging,   they struggled with rock at even modest listening leve...
