How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music?
It varies by song obviously some are more accessible than others. Countless times I've decided a song was the best on an album only to later consider a different song I didn't care for originally best on an album.  
Any interest in a pair of old thiel’s CS1.2
Someone will buy them at the right, low, price there is certainly still interest in Thiels in the marketplace just don't expect much of a return.  
Good service from DH Labs
They've been around forever for a reason good wire and obviously good CS nice to hear good reports like this.

Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
Let's add Martial Solal who I just saw passed at age 97 considered the greatest European pianist and a great composer. And @toddnlg I used to love listening to Mariam McPartland's NPR show back in the day!

Streamers and software
I use Auralic and their LDS app is excellent and not especially buggy. One thing to keep in mind streamers are essentially computers occasionally you may find a bug.  
Other High End Audio Forums
I highly recommend the Steve Hoffman forums.
