Unfiltered Power Bars
I use a Synergistic Research QLS 6 line strip.  There is a used one for sale out there for $250 on another site.  
Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
A couple of years ago there was an article on another audio site (PosFe), that I can’t seem to find right now (maybe someone can), that said that improving the power cable to the sub not only improved the bass, but also the higher frequencies. I h...

Schiit Yggy is blue.  Great under $2500 DAC 
Who will soon be going to a live concert?
Saw two amazing live concerts last week ...10/21: The Kronos Quartet, who played three world premiers, it was exceptional: https://kronosquartet.org/events/detail/new-york-new-york-46/10/22: Solo Chris Thile.  My 11th time seeing him since the pan... 
Audio Research VSi75 - End of Tube Life? KT120 vs KT150?
You might want to call ARC and see what their thoughts are about KT120s vs KT150s.  It is possible that the power supply is marginal for the 150s.

2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers
What is the longest dimension of the room (think in 3D)?  That will let you calculate the lowest bass note the room will give you. 
Budget level Dacs from Schiit---Will it make a difference?
I'm a big fan of the Schiit Multi-Bit DACS.  Currently own three of them.  They were the first DACs I had that sounded like "music" and not "digital".  I had earlier, non Multi-Bit boards in my BiFrost, and although they were nice, were not nearly... 
Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
When I did my system with Total Contact, in stages due to the time commitment, power cords and AC items made the best improvement, surprisingly.  My expectation was that treating the interconnects would make the biggest difference, due to the lowe... 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
I found Frank's post about the Prototype and then SR Purple to be quite valuable, as it kept me from purchasing a QSA fuse, that I then might have had to sell at a loss. 
Dedicated power to audio system—how extreme to go?
@millercarbon Thanks for that interesting and informed information

Flo products by Moen can detect and shut off your main water supply, if the source of your water is internal.  If external, at least you can know about it sooner.

Who will soon be going to a live concert?
@three_easy_payments:  I think "what death rate is acceptable to remove all the covid policies?", isn't the key question.  The question is, "what is our hospital/oxygen/ICU capacity, including the health and well-being of the doctors, nurses and s...
