Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Still driving my 2003 Passat just 89K miles and for the last year or so paid off! Making it my ultimate fantasy car! Seriously though still fun to drive and it's been super reliable. Best purchase I have ever made, non-audio category. 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Craft American Gin, Jack Rudy Tonic syrup, club soda and ice! 
Top 10 Alt-country bands
Loomisjohnson my pleasure and glad you liked him! I would agree he is not quite alt-country but also not quite rockabilly that was what really pulled me in the freshness of his sound. A bit of Queen and Leon Russell in there as well.

Son Volt is on the list folks at no 2, sharing the spot with Wilco which is kind of a joke. Also Whiskeytown? Ugh. Ryan Adams needs to just please go away. 
RF in the home - Fact or Fiction?
If you don't believe it do what i did accidentally. I left a pair of interconnects hooked up to my preamp but nothing else. I was trying to track down what bad tube in my system was causing the static and found them, disconnected them and problem ... 
Top 10 Alt-country bands
I agree good list though I would personally have the Old97's higher and Wilco lower. For an awesome newcomer to the genre check out J Roddy Wallston and the Business out of Baltimore. The debut album from a few years ago is off the charts good. 
What are these worth?
Just start an auction. 
Will a Sonos Connect Zone Player 90 recognize 5G
Djohnson thanks for the advice that did it! Changed it from auto to channel 1 and for two solid days now no dropouts! Thanks again!

Djohnson thanks for the info but I am a computer moron, I have no idea how to change a channel or even that there are channels. I will check into it and report back thanks.

I do live in an apartment and pretty sure everything is configured right. I have noticed when I turn the squeezebox completely off then back on the dropouts seem to stop. Go figure.

Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work?
Springbok,I have a Deja Vu pushpull stereo amp 17 watts per side on a pair of EL34's per channel and my speakers are JMlabs Micro-Utopias the original version. 
Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work?
You should be totally fine in my opinion. Driving less efficient monitors in a slightly smaller room with 17 PP EL34 watts just fine. 
SAP Audio - - Orphaned equipment?
I know Deja Vu Audio in Mclean VA used to sell SAP gear, maybe they could help or at least point you in the right direction. www.dejavuaudio.com 
K2 HDCD Recordings
FWIW I own many K2's including the Kind of Blue you mention and I find them to be uniformly excellent. Consistently amongst the best recorded cd's I have heard. HDCD or not they are well worth seeking out.
