Happiness is...
Happiness is getting kicked out of the cop car. In 1971, 18 year old me hitch  hiking from Hammond to Baton Rouge with two doobies in a Marlboro pack and a lid in my sock. Got dropped off at my exit in Baton Rouge and start walking to my friends h... 
Looking for a more up-to-date streamer
I’m using PS audio Airlens to Laiv Harmony DAC. Sounds fantastic and works great with Qobuz connect. Really liking QC, I’ll probably drop Roon when it comes up for renewal. No USB on the Airlens though.  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
I can no longer chuck around 50+ pound components. I switched to PS Audio class D monos. I’ve never heard my Magnepans sound better. Very clean(quiet) background. Totally non fatiguing, open, billboard size soundstage. My speakers sound like they ... 
Subs - Installation
@audiorusty, thanks for the link. Very informative and useful article.   
Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?
I had similar issues as per giantsalami and 2psyop. Got rid of it at a loss and never looked back. Much happier with the class D monos that replaced it.

I got eye fatigue and a headache within the first two minutes. Had to take some Dramamine and an aspirin.   
Preamp with dual sub control and XLR inputs and outputs and optical input
I bought mine used for $1200 back in 2021. I think they were retailing for about $1500ish back then.  
Preamp with dual sub control and XLR inputs and outputs and optical input
P6 at Audio Advisor $2199. I bought mine used for $1200 a few yrs ago. I love this preamp. I don’t know how it compares to more high dollar kit sq wise but the feature set is unrivaled and in my system it does no harm that I can discern. IMO, it i... 
Acoustic Panel Help
I read somewhere that having a tv between your speakers is no worse than drywall or windows or wood. I’ve tried absorption covering the tv but it just sounded like the center image became diffuse, flat and dull. Uncovered sounds lively and open an... 
Pre amp recommendations
I have the Parasound P6 connected to PS Audio M700s to Magnepan 1.7i. I love the P6. The feature set alone is amazing and it integrates perfectly with my HT system. Sonically, it does no harm and I’m very pleased with the overall sonics of my syst... 
Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer
I have the Eversolo DMP-A6 ME and it has worked flawlessly until the last update. Now Roon doesn’t see it on the network unless I reboot my router every morning.  
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
Well don’t we all need just a little more cow bell…LoL! You want to hear a recording done right…. Check out: St. James Infirmary by Baba Blues on Glimer of Gold  
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
The feature set of the Parasound P6 preamp can’t be beat for this purpose. Sonically it doesn’t seem to do any harm. No grain/grunge. Just seems to disappear.  
Suggestions on improvement
Given you age related hearing dilemma, I respectfully suggest you forget about sonic improvements and get subscriptions to Roon and Qobuz and gloriously discover a whole beautiful world of new music.
