Starting my showroom again
Thanks for sharing your story.  I hope everything works out for you.  My suggestion with starting a business is to investigate the local market and see if there’s any interest.  Social media is a great tool if you don’t know a lot of the locals.  ... 
Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?
Agree with keeping the cable as short as possible, a meter or even less if the components are close together.  I custom ordered my USB cable from Pine Tree Audio. I was able to pick the length and color too.  It sounds great and looks cool which n...

Agree I have to check a lot of these albums out.  Something to do on these long winter nights. Thanks for all the posts.    
My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions
I have Revel M126Be’s too that I run with 2 SVS SB1000 Pro subs.  My Rotel preamp has a fixed filter at 120 Hz with no sub management but 2 sub out RCA outlets to connect to the subwoofers.  It sounds great in my room.

Other High End Audio Forums
A vote for Audio Asylum.  A great YouTube channel is The Absolute Sound with good comments usually.    
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
I take note of posts like this and songs that reviewers note on YouTube.  I then search them on Qobuz and listen.  If I like it I note it as a favorite.  That builds the favorites list I play later on Qobuz.    
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today!
Anyone checkout Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit shows over the years?  I went to a few when I lived in NorCal.  Some of the best shows I’ve seen with great collaborations.  I remember Neil and Bruce doing Down by the River.  Great stuff.
