If Steely Dan had a different vocalist
What album do you suggest I start with?  
Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?
I have my speakers on Gaia one’s.  They are on a 20”x22” piece of granite.  Under the granite, I have four furniture sliders. With a bit of umph, I can do any adjustments I need to. All the best.  
Which HDMI cable for I2S?
@sis883 DH Labs Silver is great! You won’t be disappointed.  
Have you noticed as your system improves?
@fthompson241 I have done the exact same thing and I listen at the same levels. I used to be 85-90 dB most of the time, now 75- 80 & maybe 85 on peaks  
Upgrading to a stand alone DAC
If you can find one used, the Denifrips Pontus ll should be in your price range. Over the last few years, I’ve upgraded everything in my system, except my Pontus ll.  Maybe some day, but I’m in no hurry. All the best.  
Happy Friday gents

@77jovian Yesterday evening a friend and I were talking music and all the groups that Gary Wright was in.  That led to Spooky Tooth and Cotton Growin’ Man. What a coincidence.  
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
@gavin1977 What speakers and amplifiers are you using?  
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
Silver IC’s definitely brighten things up and my KEF’s aluminum tweeters, they were returned the next day!  
Denarips and Vinshine split
Once again Agon continues to confuse me.  I posted the same YouTube link for this with the subject line very similar to yours, right before you did and my post violated something or another and was removed. Go figure.  
Diving into balanced
Definitely go with a one meter cable. The amount of stress of the bend at the connector can and will become weakened over time .
