Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
Arne Domnerus-Jazz at the Pawnshop Disc 1-3. These original live recordings were released in various forms and media. The ones I recommend are the remastered SACD versions. It is one of the finest jazz experiences you can bring into your listening... 
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
I added a Gumby. Sound improved and I am very happy.  
Why are there no tube televisions anymore?
Perhaps consider also that today’s TV take up much less room, produce almost no heat, come in many more sizes for convenience, at almost every price point look better, use way less energy and are able to display higher quality images than earlier ... 
Would Appreciate Advice Before I Buy
Second the KLH 5's. See if you can give a listen to them.  
Problem with Bryston 4B SST.
Disconnect the speaker(s) from the 7b and try to turn it on. If it seems ok trace the wiring to the speaker looking for possible damage and shorts. Check at the speaker terminals. When disconnecting the spearker at the amp look closely at the two ...

to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!
Yup this is why every quality recording is made using cheap MP3 players. it saves tons of money and as we all know the hardware used to record and the methods and techniques used to record make no difference. As if  the earth sounds in question ar... 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!
First off you are the customer and he should not laugh at your request. That is rude and unprofessional. The main reason to have a separate 20A is so the system does not share the feeds to other devices. I was able to get the lights on the circuit... 
Bryston Amp Experience Needed
I use a 3B² with Focal 948's. Wonderful amp. One of the best companies in the market place. you will get the balance of the warranty as well. Buy the 300W if you can.  
Moving up from a Node 2i
I went from a Squeezebox to a Node2 and then kept the Node as the streamer to feed a Gumby. The first change was an improvement. The adding the Gumby was more so. best investment I had made in a long time to my sound quality. 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
A few years ago I did a system overhaul. Looking for an amp and preamp I reviewed several Brands. Bryston was just bringing the Cubed versions to market. I was able to secure a "demo" 4BSST squared. It had pro handles and I asked it changed to fla... 
What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
The way they sound. One of the things to consider is the system and the room. It is likely that a person owning a $1500 item may not have the rest of the pieces and a room that will let the differences be heard. Now go the other way. A person who ... 
Fans on amps.
I use a Bryston, in the 4B series at 300 w/c. It sits on the lower shelf of an antique Chinese piece of furniture. The rest of the gear is above it on a second shelf. Not much room for convection air circulation. What I did was utilize a pair of 4...

Bryston is another excellent choice. 
Power Amp transformer hum - intermittent and increases and decreases in a few seconds
This sounds like a mechanical vibration issue. Try this please. When the amp is on and humming lift it from the shelf so it is in you hands not touching the shelf.Is there a change? Next with it on the shelf put your hands on the amp and press on ...
