Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers
I agree with the above... but a stern no, and redirect works as well. I have three grandkids... 8, 5, 1.5... “NO” has worked just fine...

The Cure: Seventeen SecondsGreat album! 
Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out?
Agreed, many subs these days have a “high level” input that is directly connected to the speaker terminals to deliver the signal. As mentioned, REL is one such manufacturer. This method opens your door for many other integrated amps.  
Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge
@newtoncr... what rauliruegas is trying to say is run it within specs no matter what. I don’t 100% agree with that as it seems the V runs a bit “light” for a Lyra cart. I think I read somewhere that J Carr even recommended a dab of blue tack to th... 
Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge
With the SME V that would be very high. Level for the V is based on the horizontal lines on the tapered arm. Steve Leung of VAS recommends level or slightly down for the Atlas. He rebuilt my cart. 
Does your pet listen to your system?
My dog throws toys around the room when I listen. She’s either trying to get my attention, or she’s dancing!

My Atlas, after a rebuild, sounds best at about 1.8. It’s still “breaking in” so this may change. But it mistracks (distortion) at the “recommended” 1.72 pretty badly. I’m playing with VTA a bit as well and currently have it set just a little belo... 
Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances?
Yeah, Parasound marketing of that is more to point it out as one of the bumps from their original HALO Integrated. The Hint 6 is pretty highly regarded bang for the buck-wise. 
Hegel H90 external DAC setup
Not sure if that particular DAC is a huge step above what is on board, but analog out (balanced or RCA) on the DAC to any of the analog inputs should get you there without issue. You would essentially have two DACs.

REL T/9i or S5
What speakers do you currently own? Look at REL’s subwoofer matching, they are pretty specific. I can tell you the T9i is a hell of a sub for the $. If you can do two of those, depending on your mains you would be happy. FWIW I have an S510 and pl... 
Router extender.
So let me explain what the issue is... the Sonos app looks for the Sonos gear as a sub system of your WiFi. The thing is, while your phone is indeed on the same WiFi, the Sonos system has created its own environment. So, while your WiFi extender i... 
Router extender.
I think you might not understand the Sonos system. It creates its own network. The app is part of that net. I had a similar problem in my business where we have about 5k square ft, my Sonos hub is on one end, and I have two speakers in between. My... 
Router extender.
You need to use the Sonos Boost. No way around it. Sonos looks like it will talk to another extender, but actually won’t with any real regularity. Sonos likes it’s architecture and doesn’t play well with others... 
Just bought a Hegel H390 Integrated
H390 really shines! Congrats and enjoy.,
