It's time to do it! Please, your help....
I was in the same boat as you a while back, but I did not want to build my own system, deal with third-party software, I did not want to use my MAC/laptop/PC, so I got the Bluesound Vault to get me started. Built in DAC, easy to load your CD's or ... 
How much gear do you own?
Someone define "Too Much" and "Not Enough" and then I can tell you!!  
Should I upgrade my TT wiring?
I'd agree with Fuzztone, although you don't mention what cartridge you have, if it's the near or the same age as the table, spend money on that first.   
Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp)
I get you're still happy with the Denon, but I'd also suggest you upgrade that receiver first. You will hear a big difference with the NAD (NAD always sounded better then Denon in my opinion), or any of the others mentioned -  for CD's and streami... 
Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker?
No, but like most of us, if you had two different lengths, you’d always be wondering if it would sound better if they were. So mine are the same length even though I could have saved a few bucks if I hadn’t. But I like the reason above for keeping... 
Jazz for aficionados
@wolf_garcia  so what you’re really saying is, you’re into three-somes, eh? 😉  
Beatles Get Back documentary
The Beatles? Wasn't that Paul's backup band before Wings?  
Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please-
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping. Just a fun, upbeat song that makes you wish what happens in the song would have happen to you.   
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
I wasn't so much a sub denier, but thought my 20 year old velodyne sub was fine, until it bit the dust and I brought a new JL Audio with DSP. I agree with your statement of how much better it integrates, it just seems like my speakers noew have be... 
What happened?
Ha! Yeah sure, but QAnon, Facebook and YouTube are experts on vax and Pharma. I love how you state you are a retired doc and then go on to say they are all egomanics and liars. Yep, you proved your theory right, "doc". Glad you're retired. And do... 
Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts
Yes, I mentioned on another thread that a dealer wanted $250 deposit just to talk about what I needed and wanted. I walked out and I will never return. In this day and age for a dealer to be arrogant, unhelpful or dismissive is just plain dumb. Th... 
Karen Dalton: In My Own Time - Documentary
Thank you for posting this, I had never heard her before, true, her voice is hard to get use to but worth it.  
Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon
@thecarpathian2 Wow, I did not know that about Rome/Thumb up-down and was honestly doubtful for a minute - but you are totally correct. Thank you for the history lesson. One of the few times I actually felt smarter after reading through a thread ... 
compare
I sold Bose speakers in the 80-90's when the 601 were mostly sold. Choose the Paradigm's. Especially if they are the series I, they are very old speakers and I would seriously doubt the surrounds are still good. Just one opinion of course.   
Bose speaker
You should be able to get around $300 for them, the Series 1 is pretty old now and you can buy series 3 for about 6-800, so you won't get $600 for a Series 1. The other issue is their size and weight, shipping them will cost a good $200 give or ta...
