Bootleg bust
That guy who works in a record store didn’t even know who Neil Young is. So cool that Neil was making the rounds to find bootlegs. I love that crazy bastard. Awesome YouTube find.  
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
@markush I didn’t try them. Once i discovered EVP footers from AV Roomservice, I’ve added these to my components. They’re not cheap, $120 apiece. So I cheaped-out and put Herbies Tall Tenderfeet under my 2-box PC.  
Volume levels

Volume levels
Typically, digital sources have higher output gain than that of a TT/phonostage. So when wired to a preamp, the TT's lower gain means you need to turn the volume control higher than digital sources.  
Sunfire Amp
Sunfire 300~two is 2nd generation and uses an IEC inlet with removable cable. The 300s do not have power buttons. The Sunfire 600 uses a detachable PC, no power button. Sunfire Signature 300 & 600 use an IEC. These are later generations and ... 
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
Could end up with lots of boxes and fat cables on my rack, but I am dedicated to having zero switching supplies in my system.  So much for all that effort on the part of manufacturers to be energy efficient... Same here. I've been thinking abou... 
Linear Power Supply for a DAC

Advantages with an outboard power supply
reading some articles and watching some YouTube videos and they say it will not help a digital signal. Of course it can help a digital signal. An LPS is replacing the stock power supply of the component. If it’s well matched to your device, exp... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
+1 @carlsbad2  Qobuz for the huge classical collection and the many hires albums.  
Class A, A/B vs Class D amp Soundstage
Is this a new or used amp? If new, contact the seller of the Class D and ask if there is a break-in period for the amp. The sound you're describing is very similar to a component that hasn't been run-in. Also, check to see if you wired amp and s...
