Turntable suggestions for a newbie
I've always had a turntable. I have several hundred albums, but a small collection compared to most vinyl guys.  About a year ago, I decided to see if vinyl could sound as good as cd.  I bought a Marantz TT-15S1 which comes with a Clearaudio Virt... 
Acoustic Zen MC2 110 ohm?
@soix   Thanks!  
??? How Much Would You Spend ???
How big is the room?  Is it your primary system or a secondary system?  
Acoustic Zen MC2 110 ohm?
@soix I've been considering a new digital coax cable to go between my Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player and my Gustard R26 dac.  Using the various cables that I had, streaming sounds better than cd playback through the same Gustard dac (I2s input). I ... 
My stereo
45+ years of this hobby for me.  In recent years, I've upgraded everything.  Spent the last several months tweaking with cables.  With the possible exception of an upgraded dac, I think I'm done.   Tweaking with cables has been interesting.  I ha... 
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid

New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
I don't have a recommendation, but I can relate to your dilemma. I was considering an upgrade to my Von Schweikert VR-4 speakers (purchased in the late 90's) , but was concerned that I would spend the money and not be happy. I decided to stay with... 
Preamp upgrade
It wasn't on your list, but you might consider a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp.  I upgraded from two different conrad-johnson preamps.  I was worried that I would miss some of the warmth that the older c-j preamps are known for, but I didn't.... 
For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
@lollipopguild A couple of forum members recommended sine wave earlier in this post, so I went with that.  I haven't tried square wave. I read some other posts on the internet and a few guys preferred square. Something along the lines of it being...

Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but…
When I only had one sub, I placed it just left of the right speaker and it worked fine. To me, it makes sense to put the sub between the two mains especially if you have to set the crossover frequency kinda high. But, I'm no expert.
