The beginning of my stereo set up
Brice at Legacy Audio is really great with which to work.  I was able to visit their facility. Both Brice and Bill treated me like an old friend. They answered all of my questions, took the time to explain their offerings, and gave me a quick tour...

@erik_squires ”Lady cave” sounds very unflattering.  
How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please!
Check out Damon Kelley’s work at DK Vinyl Displays. He also sells on Etsy.  I have a couple of his units are am extremely pleased with his work. He has a good deal of variety and can custom any of his pieces. Highly recommended.  
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
@ozzy62 - Do you feel you need the subs with the Cornwall IV? 
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
I grabbed a pair of Cornwall IV on impulse a couple months ago. They’re still breaking in, so I haven’t tried changing out components with them yet, but I swapped out speaker cables and was surprised how much it changed the presentation. On a side...

Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
@andrewkelley - thanks for the follow-up. So,the Wolf Luna R is the steamer, right? It replaced the Mac Mini/Metrum Amber? Did you get the Luna R or the Luna R Pure Digital version?  May I ask what DAC you’re using? 
Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
@andrewkelley - I've barely heard mention of Metrum and Wolf, but if those best the Aurender W20SE, that's saying something special.@hiphiphand - I read your post and the responses when you originally posted, but I now see there is quite a bit mor... 
Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
@arafiq  - I am open to everything.  As a rule, I am not an impressionable person, but when it comes to home audio, that totally goes out the window.  I've been down so many rabbit holes.  I don't quite understand the Sonore Signature Rendu SE Opt... 
Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
@arafiq Thank you for your response.  That's what I love about audio, no clear cut answers.  Upscale Audio sells both the Lumin and the Auralic.  That 60 day return policy would definitely come in to play.  Thanks for reminding me.
