Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?
Thanks Ozzy for the easy and effective tip on heat sinks from Amazon. I bought a four pack of 40mm x 40mm x 11mm Aluminum Heatsink Kit with 'Pre-applied Thermal Conducting Adhesive Tape'!  All for about $10.  My EtherRegen definitely runs quite w... 
Connecting dual subwoofers to a stereo preamp
Send L output to left input of left sub. Send R output to right input of right sub Only need a y splitter if your preamp has only one sub output.

Kubala Sosna Elation!  I live in an alternate universe and these cables make a huge difference!  My Universe is amazing!  
Where to go from here?
+1ghdprentice! I used to have what I thought was a killer 5 channel surround system with also great 2 channel stereo.  Fortunately my processor broke and led me to exploring 2 channel only.  So much better AND it images so well it is (for me) per...

Oh that looks like a beast! Budget for a streamer?  You will get lots of options. Auralic Aries....Roon?  Lots of other threads on streamers.  Do you want something small like an ifi or Zen or component size with display?  Might not be able to se... 
Power cable connection issue, plug slightly sags and disconnects

Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
jjss49, Thanks for those links.   I am aware of the options and pros / cons of wifi vs wired.  Wifi has always been spotty in my house, but better now.  I have an Eero mesh system with three wired points.  I might try wifi to compare.  Currently ...

B and W speakers have always mated well with warm SS amps.  Classe, AR, Parasound.  When I upgraded my B and W 802N electronics I went from Classe to Audionet, andi it was stunning, so that means ignore previous comment!  Audionet are not warm or ...
