5 meter Speaker Cable Recommendation - flexibility important
It is very flexible and you should be able to coil it easily.  You can add spades or bananas to make the hook-up easier. 
5 meter Speaker Cable Recommendation - flexibility important
dhcod I have Herron electronics and am using the Duelund 12ga wire.  It's inexpensive and sounds good.  I have had various other cables in the system over the years and this one is a keeper.  I use it bare wire on the amps and speakers.  I think i... 
Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
I made about 13 cable lifters for about $15.  I used some clear 1 x 3 boards cut into 4 inch sections.  Three are used for each lifter and I held then in place with  2 GRK 1 1/2 inch panel screws that have a built in washer.  These are similar to ... 
Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals
A lot of good suggestions.  Do the cheap stuff first like using headphones.  Is there still a problem.  Can you try some other speakers even some monitor types to see if the distortion is still present.  Not all choral music would have this issue....

Is the node 2 with Mytek the prefered setup?  I am in the same boat.  I just what to stream Tidal with MQA without a computer using WiFi.  I believe my signal strength and download speed should be more than adequate based on my analysis tools

Cable elevators
You don't need to spend a bunch of money on elevators if you are just a little bit handy.  I made mine out of 2 1/2" poplar boards (4 pieces glued together and sanded) and then ran them through a table saw in the center to cut the slot for the rib... 
What do I Need in Order to Stream digital content and Store & Play CD's ?
Michael,Hope you get a good response because I'm also looking for a good streamer for Tidal and want to keep the PC or Mac out of the listening room.  I am thinking of an Auralic since I don't really need a DAC and will use my Modwright/Marantz pl... 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
I started out with absorption behind my speakers and now have diffusors that I made out of wood.  It really helped to open up the soundstage and smooth out the bass. 
Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Thanks for the tube tips.  I will get the Tung Sol's and Phillips.  I knew I was on to something with this player when I asked my wife if she noticed any differences.  She did describe the resolution, air and articulation of the instruments.  
Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Picked up my new ModWright Marantz 8005 today.  Initial listening impressions when compared to the ModWright Sony ES5400 are as follows:  There is more air, definition and resolution.  The center image is more forward and open.  In general it allo...
