Downward firing speaker port and domestic issues
Subwoofers and neighbor quiet are opposing concepts. Better off with sealed on springs.  
Has new music gone down the tubes?
There is plenty of great new music. Just many more outlets. It’s not gonna be spoonfed to you any more.  Have to find it.  If you do, you have to sign up.

Welcome. Soon you will not be able to wipe without one. Get with the program. I know a guy who refuses to get one. He's younger than I am.  Probably not gonna die first.  
Aliexpress/Alibaba is broken?
Even when/if it's working it is not good. Try returning anything there.  Meh.  
Best concert video ev-ah
IIf you want a concert experience play the recently released Live at The Bon Soir and let your brain conjur the video. It’s all about the music. I prefer One Man Band for JT.

Not bad for a Beach Boy in the church.  
Subwoofer Hum
Probably nothing to do with cabeling.. His system is picking up offset, possibly from cable TV. It just seems like the sub, likely his only speaker with strong 60 Hz output.  
speakers/ amps liking one another
Rooms play a towering difference compared to electronics. Try putting system A in room B. I spend more time listening to my system B than A (but it shares room A.) I can enjoy system E (outdoors) just fine.  
Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist
Kudos I mashed together versions of it by Dave Grusin and The Free Design (un the same tuning.) The results were preferable (to me) to The Singers Unlimited version on their first album (with Oscar Peterson.) I also enjoy it by The Real Group (... 
Disappearing Jazz?
Why collect?   (Unless caretaking for a few years is your thing.) Stick with streaming and playlists.  
Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps
Contrary to what Goeff Emerick thought at the dawn of solid state recording gear. Merely a Grammy winner.  
Disappearing Jazz?
New AND hundreds of hours? There are plenty of current artists with requisite catalogs, some recently gone too young like Joey Di. Gordon Goodwin's large bands for excellence with minimal archival tracks. Try streaming.

He's been rebuilding the originals for years.   
What Gear Has Disappointed You?
Schiit DAC lasting < 3 years. They showed no interest in repairing it. Chinese balanced with a display and remote same price. Check back in 3:years.
