Do you past equipment appear in your dreams?
I did have another dream last night about my old job, but as of now that's all I still remember. But to the OP, now I do vaguely remember having a dream or dreams about what a Cowboy Junkies track (Southern Rain off of Black Eyed Man)  would soun... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
How about I no longer post on this thread, as there seems to be a gap with communication, and I am sorry. Oops!  Sorry, @mrdecibel  , I either missed this or it was added as an edit.  No problem . . . this is an internet forum and we are all fr... 
Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo
@soix , I spent five more hours with those Revels I have been auditioning/breaking in, and this was one of those sessions where I was thinking that they are really starting to open up and shine (but with that typed, I may not feel that way next ti... 
So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about.
For me the brilliance of the musician is why I listen- His music, execution, cleverness of the delivery- all these are the "hooks" that pull me in. I'd go along with that . . . and I think that maybe most people would.  But if the recording doe... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
 but what am I missing? If certain recordings do not make you consider the (mental and/or physical) health of the artist, perhaps you are not truly engaging with that artist or that performance.  Sorry for not being gentle with my words.  
So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about.
What about the engagement between the listener and the musician. If I am not actually there at the live event, it is the quality of the recording and the quality of the system that the recording played back on, that dictate the level of my enga... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
I listen to Clapton because of his guitar playing, and his voice. I do not sit there analyzing his health conditions during the making of a particular recording. Then maybe, @mrdecibel  , you are missing something, because an artist's health (m... 
Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo
. . . since I bought a SACD player, I have found some of the Dire Straits SACDs to sound fantastic, and I assume that by streaming you are listening to at least the same quality DSD if not better? From Love Over Gold, Telegraph Road about took my ... 
Surge protector
If you have two spare slots in your main panel, I'd recommend you consider having an electrician install a whole house surge protector.  If you don't have two spares, they still can work around that, it's a bit more expensive. @ejr1953  , does ... 
Marantz SA10 sacd player
The SA 10 shines with balance output as well.  I am using the balanced outs to my preamp.  
Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo
I especially enjoy two Cowboy Junkies Cds that made it to SACD, but I assume you are streaming. The Trinity Sessions (the SACD was Analogue Productions) and although their cover of Sweet Jane (off that disc) is what turned me on to the CJ, I suppo...

EDIT: I don’t know George Meyer’s service policy for out of warranty Marantz components. Give them a call.  Just did a google on them.  In the need arises, I will keep them in mind.  Thanks.

@tvad , will George Meyer work on out of warranty SA10s?    
Marantz SA10 sacd player
I’d have to look to be sure, but I think I got mine in the summer of ’20 and I’ve only had two anomaly’s. I bought a used red book MFSL copy of Linda Ronstadt/Simple Dreams on ebay and it would not recognize it. My previous red book Rega transport...
