Most overrated bands
Just saw Justin Timberlake playing the SB halftime show. I hope that no one is going to tell me that he should be in front of the bands in the OP list? 
Bookshelf speakers that sound good on a SHELF or SIDEBOARD
The Wilson Audio Duette was designed for bookshelf and stand. These are the BEST sounding bookshelf speakers I have heard period. But they are very pricey. 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
One of the best (and worst) addictive habits one can acquire is the new old stock NOS tube search. I like old Sylvania military grade tubes and old RCAs. But there are so many with Telefunken and Mullard as favorites with many tube fans. Have fun! 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
gillatgh- Let us all know how you like the Rogue. Tubes are addictive IMO. Keithtexas- Good question. From my experience good deals can come from used gear, but good quality customer service is from a reputable dealer. In my case, my dealer assure... 
Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems...
kalaliI have not noticed a difference in SQ between my wireless or wired Bluesound Node 2 as of yet. I have had many hours listening to the Node 2 in a wireless situation, not nearly that many in a wired. I could potentially see any audio system r... 
Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems...
gdnrbob,I did notice in my setup that 5ghz was a better connection than 2.5ghz. It seems to go either way for me, but this is good info for all those who are having connection issues with the BS products.BTW there was some initial reindexing of fi... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Skylinedo. I can appreciate your first post, but I have to tell you this. I could never spend $10k on a power cable. Even if I had the cash, I could not do it. 
Vincent SV-500
I did dive in! I bought a Line Magnetic Audio 216 integrated amp which I truly like a lot. I might trade up my older Marantz receiver in the bedrooom for this Vincent. It is 50wpc, perfect price and power output for my bookshelf speakers. 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
I bought a Line Magnetic 216 integrated amp from a dealer. It blew a transformer and the company DID NOT give me any problem. It was shipped to a repair center and they replaced the transformer. I really like the LM Audio amp and it beat out a Pri... 
Bluesound Vault 2 now or wait for CES2018?
Kenscott- I have noticed a great many people who took the leap and bought a Bluesound Node 2 or Vault have had a similar experience..."Wow". I know that there are streaming and storage units that are better, but Bluesound offers really good sound ... 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Clearday Double Shotguns seemed to be getting alot of happy customers. As do Signal Cables (I had tried them in the past and did like them). They are moved to my bedroom system. Has anyone tried these guys?http://www.knukonceptz.com/ 
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I think you are correct, hard wired will produce the best results. The Vault 2 is great, since it can rip your CDs but the Node 2 CAN be hardwired just like the Vault for half the price.I have heard great things about the Lumin. But again, as in a... 
Most overrated bands
Perhaps some of the band criticisms here (of being overrated) could be countered or matched with names of bands whom they think are underrated and should take their place? Brittany Spears? Justin Bieber? Maroon 5?  
Amp recommendation
+1 I think a good integrated amp is a great solution. 
What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year?
+1 What uberwaltz said. Bluesound is awesome.
