Anthem STR pre and power amplifier
@yyzsantabarbara  thanks for the article @zgas-music sounds like our lives are similar at least the music 🎼 part. @pennfootball71 one can dream 💭 alas the inheritance wasn’t that much.   
Anthem STR pre and power amplifier
@erik_squires @mofojo thanks so much for your responses, after much joyous decision-making I went ahead and ordered it today. I think my life is about to get much much happier and joyful! Happy face, happy face,    
Can you provide context on First Watt?
As long as you are in Colorado, and possibly in the Denver area, check out YG acoustic speakers.   
Which Streamer/Dac
Two different animals. The moon is only a DAC streamer were as the Innuos has a CD ripper. I imagine you would want to go with the innuos so you could rip your CDs. Did notice that the moon was pretty much twice the price. So there is that issue. ... 
Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps
Research is showing that loss of hearing has a direct connection to dementia. Apparently there are noises that the earth makes a hum I guess along with basic conversations. So as much as we may hate to use hearing aids, the benefits of being senil...

Advice on using a dac with my avr
What makes sense is to get an anthem STR preamplifier. This will allow you to bypass the studio 60. Have the same issue you are experiencing, and I am in the process of saving up for a parasound preamplifier as this is a budget option for me. I ha... 
new to streaming- help!
NO. Figure out what is wrong with your Wi-Fi. If possible use a Ethernet cable to the node. Try to give more details on the connection if the Ethernet cable doesn’t work. Good luck and welcome to streaming.   
Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?
Don’t be put off by sticker shock. Get something that gets you going, then start researching. I think everyone can attest after a long and thorough search, adding a new piece of gear into the system, is one of the great joys in life.   
I won the stressless lottery
Wow, I just spent $67 on this white elephant. Getting beeswax, Flitz metal polish, and Hidebracer leather conditioner. Plus a T-30 torx wrench to take apart for maintenance. Definitely going to upkeep it as this is a beautiful 🤩 thing. What got me...

@tvrgeek I ordered some stuff from Amazon will definitely keep this up like I had a whole bunch of maids whose specific task is taking care of leather furniture. Ordered a product called hidebracer leather cleaner and conditioner, if anyone out th... 
I won the stressless lottery
@notnow0329 Thanks for the offer to help, I have been able to determine that it is a Peace model with the signature base. I believe it is the Paloma blue leather. It took me like two hours on Google to find it because it’s not on the current stres...

@tablejockey the matching foot rest was included in the giveaway. This truly is a score of a lifetime.  
Upgrade from Bluesound Node
I went from a Marantz 5015 network avr to a Innuos pulse mini. Cannot comment on what a bluesound, sounds like guessing somewhat similar to HEOS and the Innuos completely blows the Marantz out of the water.
