Many thanks, Jerry, for the specific tips. I think I will need a variety of BR and AUVA EQ to swap around for a proper evaluation. My amplifier's legs sit higher than the thickness of the BR Big Pads+, which I suppose means I will need to stack BR pads or just try an AUVA EQ under the amp.
Tell me what you think about my internet setup: I have Spectrum Coax coming into the house and leading to an ARRIS Modem. Directly adjacent to the Modem is an ASUS Wireless Mesh Router, connected via standard Ethernet cable. My house is from 1964 and has thick plaster walls as well as a CMU wall, yet I stream wirelessly from that Mesh Router to 2 other Mesh Nodes, one of which carries the wireless signal to my Bluesound Node N130. This wireless setup solves a couple significant problems for me, and it sounds really good. Considering this setup, do you still think I should consider an LPS for my router? How about for the Modem too? And probably a high-end Ethernet cable to connect them as well? I thought I had read that since I was wirelessly streaming, I didn't need those upgrades, but I value your opinion here. Thanks again for responding.
