Upgrade system to stream Tidal
Save a lot of money and get the Bluesound Node. Qobuz not Tidal.  
Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health
Most excellent @stuartk and heartily enjoyed. He has a very soulful talent. I do like him, but he's never ranked number one for me. That title for me is held by either David Gilmour or Alex Lifeson depending on which day it is demonstrating that n... 
Recommendation for Digital Coax
@soix sorry for the delayed response; I escaped Michigan snow for Florida sand for a couple of weeks. I like it but of course I don't have any experience hearing other cables so I can't say if it's great or not. Arrows?

@erik_squires I am an adherent to both methodologies, hearing and measurements. I'm not going to discount either method for reaching best sound. I know that some do. I'm kind of glad I have been forced to go through the hearing aspect of it and st...

Streamer placement...???

Why are ????????

A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts
The longest threads invariably are the ones that are the most contentious. If we all agreed there wouldn't be the need of a FORUM right?  
New Receiver Advice
If you're doing home theater you are limited to a receiver. I've got a Denon AVR-X3700H that I like pretty well.  
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
Thus far it would be a miniDSP unit. I told them what I had, what I was trying to do and they recommended a product which after purchased was told by them it wouldn't work in my system.  
Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
