| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I've had a pair of AR-LST speakers in continuous use since 1975. During the Covid lock downs, I replaced the grills and had the cabinets refinished - so they look brand-new. They sound better since the rehab, perhaps because of a new set of gaske... | |

| Mac Mini As A Streaming Source I believe JRiver Media Center for MAC and JRemote (iOS) will do what you want to do. You can try JRiver Media Center free of charge for 30 days. JRemote (iOS) would cost you $9.99. In any case, it wouldn't cost much to try it out. It would take so... | |

| The one, the only Garth Hudson. If you're an instagram user and Garth Hudson fan, there's a very short video of Hudson playing Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady". It's a recent video. The instagram handle is @the_band_official. He plays the song with a Monkish touch, imho. Yo... | |

| Some more modern jazz piano trios Connie Han, Bill Charlap, and Vijay Iyer. Also a little-known pianist out of Minneapolis, Laura Caviani All can be found on Qobuz. | |
| Cheap Chromebook fine? I streamed music from a laptop (not a Chromebook) for several years. Biggest objection was very loud fan noise from the computer. I think this would be worth researching before selecting a device. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? I've had an AHB2 amp for around 6 months. It's a perfect fit with my ancient AR-LST speakers.
