From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion
I run a Bricasti M3 with streamer card fed by a Small Green Computer i5 music server running Roon Core.  Could not be happier.  It just all works all the time!!     
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
+1 for Moon Audio.  Great cables and great service!    
Proac SM100 speaker stand?
+1 for Sound Anchor.   
Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se?
I hear everyone. I don't plan to change tubes until I feel every thing is broken in.  I know from experience what a regulator tube can do.  As far as the "front end" tubes are concerned I agree I have to hear what I'm working with.  I all cases, I...

Pull the trigger on an SLP-05.  Now what tubes do I need to roll?

Competitive class D amp suggestions
I run a pair of AGD Audions with a Rogue RP7 pre feeding Joseph Audio Perspectives.  Very happy with sound quality, lack of heat and size of monos.    
ADG amp
I own AGD Audions and love them.  Alberto is a great guy and very willing to answer any questions.    
5AR4 rectifier tube question
I went through the same exercise with a Modwright Pre-Amp w/ outboard power supply.  After listening to a number of NOS options I ended up with a metal base.  It was expensive but had the most positive impact to SQ of any tweak i’ve done.   I thin... 
Server for Bricasti M1/3
I have a Bricasti M3 with network card connected to a Small Green Computer sonicTransporter i5 with 4tb ssd.  Works and sounds great with my setup and in my room.  I experienced problems when I attempted to run Roon core on my MacBook Air.  All is... 
to bi-wire or not?
I have Joseph Audio Perspectives.  I talked to Jeff and he said I would be better off spending on better single run and than use a good jumper.  I went with Cardas Clear speaker wire and Cardas Clear jumpers.  Recently moved to mono blocks and dec... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
Don't forget to consider the used market value for when you decide to change.  I think you might find the cost of the Proacs is not that much different than the DIY speakers.
