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. 
Recommendations for music network player
I will state I have not heard other music servers for comparison to the Bluesound Node 2. I have used the original Logitech Squeezbox as a music server, then started using my Iphone as a server for Spotify via a Pure I20 charger/stand. I also used... 
Recommendations for music network player
Yes the Bluesound is that good..... for $499. We are in a place and time in audio, whereby people spend $20k for amps and preamps $10k for source components, $50k for speakers and $25k cabling. So lets keep things in perspective. I like the Node 2...
