Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices
I agree with @erik_squires and others… there is no direct relationship between concert prices and streaming.    Personally I gave up on all amplified concerts a couple decades ago because of the terrible sound, crowds, and honestly fear of hearin...

Technics 1200 MK3D
@cleeds    +1 Yes, they use a single phono stage and internally switch inputs… example my Audio Research Reference 3.

@russ751    👍 +1   I completely understand. A great component(s)/system is worth it… some things in life are worth it… really high end components are one of them.  
Connecting turntable, amp, sub, streamer
Let’s start with the streamer and the turntable. The turntable goes into the frat right inputs on the back… under phono. The Bluesound Node analog outputs get connected to the Peachtree Aux input 1. So this allows you to listen to your wired speak...

The sound you get out of the speakers is the result of all the components. Taking an old adage from the vinyl world… if it isn’t captured at the beginning of the chain, it is not coming out the other end. Also, if you don’t start with a quiet and ... 
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
Always two. They will extend the soundstage and give much greater presence.  
3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel?
Those extra channels make a world of difference. Dropping from 5 to 3 would be huge reduction in the home theater experience. Turn off the rear surrounds for a while. My primary interest is two channel audio, and I am fortunate to have two system... 
Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution
 Pass int-250.   Over the last few years they have figured out how to pack a lot of rhythm and pace along with a low noise floor, great details and power. I think this is a great match.  
Horn vs AMT tweeter difference
I had AMT based speakers for at least ten years. I loved them. While I moved on to ribbon, I was never inclined to go to horns from my auditioning.  I suspect the transition can be effective if you simultaneously switch to horns and upgrade your ... 
I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down.
I must assume you are storing your files on a providers server.    Then use a streamer with storage. Most quality streamers have options for internal storage… and sound better than other options.  
Building a music room
Oh, sorry. You mean you were asking about components? I thought you were asking for recommendations for room treatments.  
Building a music room
I would concentrate on getting appropriate equipment before room treatments. Depending on your choice of speakers and positioning, that will determine your allocation to tube traps, and other acoustical treatments and where they are needed.   
Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End
The Aurender Conductor app is very good. The sound quality of the Aurrender streamers are excellent at all price points. If you could get a used or demo N200, you would be getting an outstanding streamer. ‘I used to own an Aurlic Aries G2… I woul...
