Beautiful listening rooms
Those pics range from incredible to atrocious…something for everyone.  
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
@audiom3  Fiber…I wish. I’m using 500mb with perhaps the worst ISP in the country (optimum).   
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
I’d start with going hardwired with a CAT8. Careful when spending $$$ on a switch, I experimented with it and it did absolutely nothing.   
Please recommend speakers
I tried the LS50 / Meridian 556 combo and found them fatiguing. Considering the OP’s set up restrictions a set of nice headphones might be the best bet.  
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
As I learned today, I’ve been greatly underestimating the power of room treatments. I Installed a floor to ceiling bass trap in the most offending corner of my room and I’m astonished. Spent the rest of the afternoon recalibrating my sub to the “n... 
Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation.
The snowflake factor among some of you guys is beyond epic. Reporting my post to admin is pathetic…whatever, I could care less. Nevertheless It does not detract from the fact that this chi-fi nonsense is some ridiculous woke B.S.    
Warm airy musical speakers?
Sonus Farber do have that luxurious sound but fwiw, I had SF then made the move to ProAc and never looked back.

Subwoofer for music, how low?
@erik_squires 100! Most def easier said than done! A month later and I’m still trying to fine tune a T9X into my room. My previous sub was a T-zero mkiii that was pretty much plug and play. This 9X is a different animal.

Do speaker cables have to rest on floor?
I bought risers and they make zero difference. YMMV.  
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@lalitk Honestly I’m more than a little skeptical about what a switch optimized for audio is exactly. It’s my understanding that a switch cannot differentiate the data passing through it so how could a device be optimized for audio if the data bei...
