Passive speakers for desktop
Asking if it's a joke is NOT asserting that it is. BTW I forgot to laugh. $1000 headphones can sound better than most speakers, cost no object If you don't like the image or being tethered is another matter but you will have few souls that are i... 
Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source
Sounds like you have exhausted possibilities. Anyone who doesn't know what a HumX is unlikely to suggest any real solution. HumX works about 75% of the time for my unrelated issues. Good luck. Are they noisy at any other locales? Hard to believe ... 
Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp?
@soix stated it well. I agree with doing the OPs ask totally wastes the abilities paid (probably dearly) for. The only way that he is going to find out if it sounds worse to him is by comparing it Most of what is around here is theory.  
Are mcintosh rca and xlr cables any good.
Are. Compared to what?  
Making a list...
Lose the NAS, I did. And there is no reason for me not to rip my own. I do not wish for any streaming as I already have it.

What am I missing?
"We" who? Your what hurts?  
Naim Unitiserve Music server upgrade suggestion

Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia?
Also the Wood S is <$1250 out of Europe. Did I say I love these guys?  
Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia?
I would buy and have bought a Benz Micro from Analogue Seduction. Competitive price, good shipping, warranty backup, fast service, nice guys. They also sell Hana and can get a SL to the USA quickly for <$660 complete.  
Time to do house cleaning.
Soon enough father time will have you giving or throwing it away. Find a loving home for your ex’s while you still can.  
HoloAudio STREAMER is out now
@tvad Pretty useless as there are few to no B to B, B to C, B to Micro B to connect a hard drive. I:be never seen. B flash drive. XLR output? Fancy not. No Qobuz, not ready for prime time.  
How Did Your First Audiophile Experience Impact Your Audio Journey?
My LSD memories include Don’t Crush..., American Metaphysical Circus (Mr. Natural) and Lord Love A Duck (windowpane) with colorized playback. The repro equipment was inconsequential. First real HiFi was Servo-Statik-1 with Arnie at CES Chgo. I s... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
The difference is Amazon plays on very few Hifi devices. If you are happy with your computer or Bluesound you might never hear any difference.

Don't care. I was never impressed by my F8.
