Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
Also, there's an affordable switch from English Electric which is owned by Chord. It's getting good reviews. It may be worth taking a look at.  
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
This sounds worth trying, as I've never been all that happy with the sound that I get from streaming. Admittedly, I'm not that technically savvy. I have a standard modem on the second floor and from there, I run an ethernet cable to my Bryston Pi ... 
Dvorak Cello Concerto
Ii heard Daniel Müller-Schott play the Dvorak in Köln. He did a recording of it which I haven't heard. It's on the Orfeo label so I probably ought to buy a copy. Here is; https://www.amazon.com/Dvorak-Cello-Works-Daniel-Müller-Schott/dp/B00JGSHJSS  
Isolation Feet Upgrade
The Nosebunds are definitely worth trying given their price. If I don't prefer them to the Herbie's, then I could place them under my tube tuner.  
Isolation Feet Upgrade
I can see there's a significant difference with the Nobsound but is it actually audible? I read a little on the Townshend and I'm pretty certain there's a significant improvement with those. Anyway, I still need to upgrade the power chord for my D... 
Isolation Feet Upgrade
I have an Ayre DAC  and an ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier using Herbie's Tender-feet and I'm thinking that better feet on those two pieces might render better results. My next upgrade however will be a better power chord for my DAC. As far as ...

@astolfor thanks for your findings! Towards the end, you cited Townshend and HSR as being comparatively the same. The HSR Vortex footers are twice the price of the Townshend footers so I'm wondering whether you have a preference between those two?... 
Dvorak Cello Concerto
I've been listening to the Jean-Guihen Queyras recording. It's interesting how  interpretations are different now, from when Starker recorded it.  
Where to go from here?
Thanks for the post, it has me thinking. Personally, all of my equipment isn't equal in price but coming out of the speakers, it's all very musical. It's really how I put everything together. I find that I ask myself, how do I approach that sound ... 
Good Ethernet switch
This piece may be below your standards but the English Electric switch is getting some attention. I'm thinking about getting one for myself, https://allhomedevices.com/review-english-electric-8switch/    
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
All-right, I’ve just scrolled six pages and no mention of The Shaggs. They released one album, ‘Philosophy of the World’. Maybe they were so awful that they were great? Here’s the Wiki entry; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shaggs    
Roon vs Audirvāna or other
 Audirvana for sound!

@mahler123 how are you streaming this Venice station? I find anything around MP3 quality to be thin and artificial.  
Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System
Two of my favorite stations are WDR 3 Köln and France Musique Paris but the resolution is not for serious listening which is unfortunate. I just listen to them through a Dragonfly DAC to a Yamaha soundbar, whenever I'm working at home. I really do...
