Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!!
It sounds like you're at a point where it needs to go in to a repair shop for a diagnosis.  If there's that much difference in sound quality and you've tried all the obvious things, it's time to get it looked at.

Fedex issues
Until drones or robots start dropping off packages, it comes down to individual workers.  My normal USPS driver drops both packages and all my mail together on my doorstep, usually pushing it off to the side so it's not visible from the street.  (... 
The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted
I don't see any problem with it.  I've never seen The Music Room trying to use the forums to promote sales (unlike some other very annoying vendors) and there are a lot of pretty technical people on these forums.  This might be someone's dream gig. 
Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!!
Not to insult your intelligence, but are you sure your speakers are connected correctly?  Looking at those speakers, they have internal jumpers and you need to turn the screws to connect the jumpers if you don't have the speakers bi-wired.

Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate

Tuner calibration North West coast.
Glen,I get pretty good reception on my FM tuner from KNKX where I live in Olympia, but I think if you stream from their web site the quality is also very good. 
Why buy Bluesound Node2i vs. Marantz AVR for playing music from NAS or streaming services?
The Bluesound will give you a lot more options for streaming - Qobuz, Tidal, Radio Paradise, and much more.  Connecting to an external DAC will improve sound quality, but the DAC in the Bluesound is quite good for the price.You should notice a dif... 
bluesound node 2i with chord quest
I have two Node 2 devices.  One in my living room and one in my bedroom, maybe 25 feet away.  Both are connected to wifi.  I have a wireless access point in my living room and a wireless repeater.  I haven't compared to a wired ethernet connection...

I love Yes! I have Close to the Edge and the Kevin Gray remaster of Yes in the on-deck box. Listening to Eagles - Hell Freezes Over tonight.

Wayne, I don't think I had ever listened to that album. After hearing it, it made me wish I was a little more open minded in my youth. I had a similar experience this morning listening to Grace by Jeff Buckley this morning on Qobuz.
