Help with soundbar setup
Optical cable, like what everyone is saying. You can refer to this guide (also your manual) for specific steps, and should there be any problems you might encounter. Make sure cables are tightly connected and that there are no visible physical dam... 
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
Don't think so, it will be more accessible for people I think. 
Spotify or Pandora
Used Spotify although I don't think it's of the highest quality. Pretty convenient though, especially on desktop. If you don't want to pay but hate shuffling, that's the place to go. 
Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate?
If being picky extends from your audio preferences to traits you want from a partner, then maybe... 
You know you are an Audiophile when:
Would rather listen to music rather than; BBQ w/ the neighbors, go to work, take the kids to school, stop to make something to eat.....Start thinking seriously about upgrading from home-made speaker wire to the latest and greatest pitch for the "u... 
Which is the most important part of a stereo system?
The best amp/receiver in the world won't make mediocre speakers sound good. Good speakers on a mediocre amp/receiver will still sound good. Spend significantly more on your speakers and sub, just buy a receiver that has the features and build qual... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
I don't think my drinking preferences could be changed by what I listen to in any way, nor the other way around actually... It's been quite hot lately so often just a glass of water :D

best vintage stereo receiver
Tandberg 1070 - one of the best sounding tuners ever, either as a separate or in a receiver. Also, it's bloomin' massive, it won't go in a normal rack! 
Music Player Suggestion
I just use my iPhone like most of the people.  
What's the best isolation system?

Best rock song of all times
21st Century Schizoid Man is definitely one of the best choices. So heavy... and metal hadn't even been invented yet    
Best debut album
Without a doubt the best album of the eighties is:Marillion - Script For A Jesters Tear ('83); what an album, that cover made you buy it and then at home the music, awesome.If we go back in time, the 70-is:The Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mis...

Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
I've had their Cinema Sub on my radar for a few years now but never had a spot on my schedule to make it happen.Between the 2-10 and the 4-10 I would probably request the latter. I don't recall seeing a sub like that before so it's right up my all...
