TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
I haven't had any issues with mine since I ran an ethernet cable to it and upgraded firmware.  Rock solid. 
Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less
I have the Orchid in my computer system and have been very happy with it.  I listen mainly through Harbeth P3ESR with a PSA S1500 sub driven by a Vincent SV 237 integrated.  I also have a Simaudio 430 HA headphone amp and an assortment of head... 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
The Oppo is a Swiss army knife. It does a lot of things and does most of them pretty well, including playing CDs and SACDs. It has a good DAC.  If you're getting it at the going prices, you might do better getting a purpose-built CD player althoug... 
Rhythmic or Hsu
I've owned both, but my Hsu experience was a couple of generations ago, a VTF-3 MK III. I still own one of their MBM-12 mid bass modules that I use for movies. I don't think they are made as well or sound as good as rythmik, but maybe they've gott... 
What are you streaming tonight?
I've had Radio Paradise on for a good chunk of the day, now I'm listening to The Who at 50 on Qobuz. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw I'm happy for the moment, but there's always that itch to eke out a little more sound quality! 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Keb' Mo' - S/T, - MFSL  This is more what I expect from MOFI. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw I didn't mention that I stopped listening to Surrealistic Pillow after the first disc. I gave the 2nd disc a whirl this afternoon and tried to have an open mind about it. I was perhaps a little harsh in my comments yesterday, but it was stil...

Silje Nergaard - Silje Nergaard, Qobuz Hi-Res.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw I don't have a mono cart.  It's possible that things could get better with my turntable set up.  I've only had the VPI Classic 2 for a couple of weeks and haven't really messed around with it since initial setup.  Having said that, my record... 
Subwoofer Recommendation for Harbeth SHL5+
You didn't mention your budget, but I'd concur with the recommendations for Rythmik's sealed subs if they fit in your budget.I don't know why you wouldn't want to add a sub(s) to the Harbeths.  I use 4 (two Rythmik F25 and two SVS SB13 Ultra) and ... 
Lumin Player App Issues
Try BubbleupNp if you're an Android user.  I like it a lot better than the Lumin app.  It won't fix your connectivity issues though, that's a hardware issue. 
New TT for ~$1500
We have a local music club that (up until recently) meets at a local hifi dealer and we have listened to the MOFI Ultradeck 2 or 3 times now for a couple of hours each time.  Seems to be a very good table.  Lots of body and dynamics.  I own a Musi... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Slaw, you put me in the mood for some AC/DC. This might be my favorite. Powerage. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Yes, that one slaw. It sounds kind of thin and bright.
