Any thoughts on Sugarcube device
Jerry,i am interested in knowing whether the device degraded the sound at all. I have mostly new albums and they don’t have the issues that I understand this product is supposed to help with, but have  enough used albums that I thought could help ... 
One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.
I have electrostatic highbred speakers (Martin-Logan Summitt X) - any  thoughts on distance from The wall behind the speakers or the side walls? And toe in?

Brands that have the least depreciation
 One brand that does not seem to hold it’s value that I don’t quite understand is Concert Fidelity. In particular, the preamplifiers and amplifiers are superb reference level pieces of equipment. I am not sure if it is the lack of name recognition... 
Phono Stage Recommendation $3000
Audio Research ph-6 with bugle boys tubes - around $2000 used 
Please help me chose a tube preamp
