Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)
I've had my bluesound for a few years and i'd be hard pressed to change it out.  It's just very easy to use.  I do have an upgraded power supply and am running a chord qutest DAC with it.  Overall very good sound for less than $5K.   
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Without a doubt, U’Luvka and has to be straight from the freezer  
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
Yes, especially with my reference system.  Sound stage, depth and overall clarity greatly improved on my test tracks/albums.   
Load Settings Help: Luxman E-250 and Koetsu Black Line
Quick update. I noticed my tonearm was not level leading to the cartridge not being ideal for playback.  After leveling and correcting anti skate 47KOhms sounds best.  Thank you all for your help   
Load Settings Help: Luxman E-250 and Koetsu Black Line
Some quick testing, setup sounds best (for my ears at least) on 100K.  Sound is pretty neutral, lacking some low weight on some tracks/records.   I like the tone of the cartridge and i'm pretty set on it, does anyone have alternative recommendati...

Thank you all for your help.  Clearly i've got some more reading and testing to do.  If that doesn't work out I'll be on the search for a new preamp.

@viridian Thank you.  I completely missed that on this preamp.  I'll have a play with the options at the front to test what sounds best

ATC active vs. passive
I have a pair of ATC SCM50 passives running through a c900 and m10x pre/power combo.  For me this setup is all I will ever need.  Silky smooth at low volume and that's retained at much higher DB.  They match very well.    
ATC SCM50 (passive) v. Devore O/93
I've got a set of ATC 50 passive which I upgraded from a set of PMC Twenty5 26i's.  The ATC's are likely my end game speakers. I listen to almost every genre and they perform well no matter what I put through them.  I am running them with a Luxman... 
Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x?
Addition to the above post.  There is nothing wrong with the 509x integrated, i just wanted more.    
Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x?
Update. c900u setup into m10x The c900u is a huge improvement over my 509x as a Pre. The best way I can describe the difference is ‘the sound is now free and simply just flows to let the music be the focus’. I have not heard the c10x, but with m... 
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
Without a doubt, PMC Twenty5.22i's.  I have them and run them through the same integrated you have.  They have a large sound stage and one that is fully rounded.

@jeffreyw For now a C900 is on it's way after a quick demo.  Thank you

@polyrhythm9 exactly, I like the Luxman sound  @markusthenaimnut i hear you, some folks try to hard to push their ‘sound’. Experimenting as you say is part of the joinery which should be enjoyed.  @celtic66 good to hear. I took the plunge and or...
