Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
Hirsch, Stereo Review  Proof of memory faults.    
How to properly stream TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, et cetera?
Some say Roon degrades, some don’t. I’ve never heard it improves SQ but... Yes you can...spend as much as you like.  
Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500
Stay with seperates, I recommend an iFI Zen powered by an iPower Elite into a S.M.S.L SU-9n $1100 all in. Or a Magni Mano Ultra with that DAC $1400. Spending more should be by choice, not directive.  
Widely differing opinions - well, it’s complicated
I agree with that russ69. Some prioritize image others prefer toe-tapping.  
Best Recycled Streamer?
AUDIOPHONICS RASPDAC MINI LCD Kit DIY Streamer for Raspberry Pi 4 & DAC ES9038Q2M  
REEL TO REEL TAPE?
Just make sure whatever you get is backcoated.  
Am I nuts?
Certifiable.  
Just a thought here but,,,,,,xlr adapters?
I do that in reverse, pro deck. No idea what you are thinking about tape noise. You can’t increase the 65 db @15 ips without a compander.  
Rate my system/advise
Kinda lite on analog.  
I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers
Happy to make anybody smile during war times.    
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
P. mushrooms don't work like that on me. DH Labs does.

We here have heard that Herron and DecWare are way better.    
MM vs MC Cartridges
Cartridge gain is levelled solely by the phono preamp, not the output gain. Acquire an adjustable gain pre and enjoy.   My carts vary from .26 to 4.5 mv, all the same output from the pre.    
2nd system thoughts on vintage receivers
No prob. It was definitely not expressed clearly. Probably my fault.  
2nd system thoughts on vintage receivers
@reubent. I do have some decent college radio stations where I reside. I am so sorry that you are wrong in assuming otherwise. They sound better here over internet, i. e. on streamers rather than over FM radio. I don’t have to play with antennas ...
