Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I suggest auditioning the Mola Mola Kulga class D amps for exceptional performance. Hypex 1200 implementation is key, so not all Hypex 1200 amps will  sound the same. Also, because an amp uses GaN doesn’t necessarily make it better. 
Thinking to upgrade speakers
I would recommend Boenicke W11 speakers. They are very open, naturally balanced, great bass extension, dynamic and beautifully made in Switzerland. We have the W5 and W11. 
Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s?
It would be worth seeking out Fidata, less well known than Innuous but state of the art servers in my opinion. There are two models with 1TB and 2TB storage options. For streaming link the Fidata with a streamer such as the Lumin U1mini or Lumin U... 
We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong
Agree with @bdp2, a good dealer should have done his homework and will be offering a system that is synergistic. 
GaN-based Class D power amps
Our reference amps are Mola Mola Kaluga’s, designed by Bruno Putzeys. They have been in a different class compared to other class D and A/B designs we have tried. We also know somebody who had a very expensive (£50k)class A design from Switzerland... 
The Science of Cables
Thanks @taras22  and  @teo_audio for your contributions to this fascinating subject. 
Alternatives to Stillpoints
Another point, @thyname. The Ingress should be set up with the ball directly touching the underside of the component and arranged in an equilateral triangle on plan. 
Alternatives to Stillpoints
@thyname, Ingress and Symposium roller and cup footers work well to damp seismic vibrations in rotational and horizontal planes. To get the best results you need to combine them with an air spring under a supportive plate made from a material with... 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
Can I suggest trying to audition a Mola Mola dac, either Tambaqui or Makua with dac module. Outstanding dac in my opinion. Also attention to seismic vibration isolation and compatible cabling is essential with high performance dacs. My suggestions...

Recommendation on power amp
Hi @newtoncr, I recommend trying Mola Mola Kaluga’s, we know that they work very well with a range of high end speakers such as MBL, Lansche, Manger and Boenicke. We haven’t tried with the KEF Blades but I think they would be a good combination.Ar... 
Alternatives to Stillpoints
Recommend:Ingress LV 3 roller ball & cup footers/30mm thick slate plate/a spring, in that order from top to bottom layer.Full review coming soon. 
What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
Mola Mola is solid state. 
How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make
This is a very important subject and definitely makes a huge difference if done properly. We’ve been developing our own brand of furniture using solid maple. Initially this was suspended on each corner by a silk thread and worked very well. Then w... 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
Good to hear. Add Mola Mola to the list of companies giving great service.
