Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
I think you will have a hard time finding used 20' cables. I would recommend the Analysis Plus Oval 9. I have the Oval 12's and they are excellent cables.http://www.audiowaveshifi.com/analysisplus.htm 
streaming devices, which would you buy?
My experience is with the Node. The built in DAC is decent, but I use a MDHT Orchid with excellent results. The Bluos app is decent, but could use some improvements. I use Qobuz, and it seems most here prefer the sound quality over Tidal.

@bdp24 I lived in the Bay Area about the same time you did. My first concert was the Beach Boys at the Cow Palace "63, I think. I was at the Kinks concert, it was Winterland.   
Looking for a turntable around $1k...
@jasonbourneI agree that good DD is a better option, but his budget is $1000. Did you read that part? He is considering a Rega P3. With an Exact carteidge that can be had for about $1500.

If you want the Planer 3 get it with an Exact II cartridge. You will probably be disappointed with the Ortofon Red and no spacers are required.

Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz
@psychranger You are being a jerk. Most people with tinnitus have done much research on the condition. Most have seen a physician or audiologist, joined and contributed to the ATA, been in tinnitus support groups or online forums. Many of these pe...
