Upgrade my CD player or futile effort?
I’ll chime in to.  Keep your CD player and get a better DAC. I’ve had great results with Schiit, Chord and Denofrips. I kept a Schiit Bifrost and got rid of others when I bought a Hegel H390 as it has a surprisingly good DAC in it.All the best.JD

Dedicated 20a lines, 125 feet distance, which gauge wire to run?
Where I live it’s illegal to run the four separate lines, so I’d run a 220 line to a sub panel and then run my separate lines from there. It’s also much easier and safer that way.All the bestJD

I just got a message from david_ten, thanking me for my kind words and telling me that while they have a long slog ahead of them, it could have been worse and that they’re going to be alright.What a nice guy and I really do wish him all the best!JD 
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
I told my wife I wanted to get that TT and she told me that I’d have to go back to work.  After being retired for ten years, it looks like I’m not getting that new shiny turntable. JD 
Putting it to bed
Years ago I saw pictures of Phil with drum sticks taped to his hands because he couldn’t hold them anymore.So sad.JD 
older CD transport vs newer ones.
I’m using a Sony CDP-2700 from the mid nineties as my transport and it sounds amazingly better than everything else I’ve tried!All the best.JD 
A Surreal Dream full of Audio Knowledge!
Wait, what??

mocean,Thank you for all the information.  Very few of the brands everyone has mentioned I’ll be able to listen to around here, but I have listened to a couple of Dynaudio and one Chario.  I’m still hoping to hear the Goldenear’s you mentioned as ... 
Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter.
bladerunner6,With the Denon and in a room that size, the 2 SVS SB1000 Pro’s will be fantastic for movies and music. I’m thinking the PB1000’s will be to boomy.All the best.JD

david_ten,We’re so glad you and your wife are safe!  Were you able to save anything from your home?All the best!JD 
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
I bought an Audience AR6 three houses ago and it helped a lot with noise.  Each time I’ve moved I have just plugged it back in.  Been here two years and never checked.  Maybe I’ll unplug it for a time and see if anything gets worse.JD

Hi audiofool1,The reviews on those sound great and they are in my price range, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to audition them in a timely manner.My loss.JD

So if all goes well, I should be able to hear Dynaudio, Golden Ear, Focal, PSB and Audio Vector.  This will  be a great day.JD

Thanks jj,This is why I was asking about speakers.  I don’t want to add a warm amp to a warm speaker.  So the amp should be here today and then I’m hopefully going to listen to Dynaudio, Focal and? JD
