A free tweak revisited
I am opposite, with my eyes open and the lights on my field of hearing is way better defined.   
New Cartridge or New Preamp
With your setup as is, phono stage first.  
Glare with Qobuz…
All good with Qobuz here. No noticeable issues.  
Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC
Equipment connected to my Gustard X26 PRO dac: - Node via USB - Digital FM tuner via coax - Jay's cdt2-mk3 CD transport via I2s and also via XLR for overly bright albums.  So yes, that's what good dacs are for, multiple connectivity.    
New streamer? N150 vs U2
@txp1  What most streaming enthusiasts seem to undervalue is the quality of the program. Bluos is simple, reliable and completely satisfies my needs, which is to use strictly my android phone as a remote control for operating Qobuz. As far as I'm... 
Headphones vs speakers….
@fsonicsmith1  Real well thought out post. Newbies can be a welcome breath of fresh air on here. No doubt that headphones have their place in the audio world. Even If I don't listen to them at home anymore, they always travel with me. Got back fr... 
Headphones vs speakers….
Call me skeptical mrskeptic. It's hard to buy your open mindedness when you don't have a system posted. I like my house of stereo open floor system over any headphones and you probably can tell why. Yours?  
Wilson to Tekton to ????
It's not the extra equipment I have a problem keeping, it's storing all the boxes!  
Headphones vs speakers….
Headphones is like doing meticulous work with reading glasses on. All pretty perfect. Large speakers in a properly treated room is like standing on a mountain top watching the sunset. Majestic!  
My terrible Customer Journey with the Line Magnetic LM-503PA Mono Vacuum Tube Amps
So sorry to hear that. Hope in the end you get some resolution. Thanks for the heads up. Crazy to think such expensive items can cause more headaches than items selling for a fraction of that.  
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
@kota1  Thanks for the compliments, specially about the art work. Not sure which ones you are referring too, but the front wall are oils on canvas that I painted more than twenty years ago. I specially like the main center one which is a beach So... 
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!
I like my vinyl, CD and streaming rigs equally well. Zero preference in overall sound between the 3, just the different mastering on each recording can make a significant difference. It obviously is related to the quality of each of your systems a... 
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
My wife got a remodeled master bath and kitchen, I got the house of stereo. It's always a give and take.  
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
Just take a look at my house of stereo system, it will give you an idea of how involved the room treatment process can be. But ultimately incredibly worth it. I never knew I could hear the kind of sounds that I do now. You won't get it right at fi... 
Want to add vinyl to my system.
Rabbit hole indeed. Love my over 2k vinyl collection and my vinyl system, however I would not go down that road if I was starting from scratch, specifically since discovering the marvelous world of streaming. Save your money and improve your strea...
