Streaming - Total fail (rant)
15 plus years with SONOS….never had any issues. I have 11 SONOS speakers including 2 surround bars and 3 subwoofers throughout my home. Great app interface with many streaming partners and radio stations to choose from and equally adept at playing... 
Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
@devilboy,Checkout Zavfino Nova OCC speaker cable. It is a well balanced, neutral and very musical sounding cable. The built quality is outstanding and anything I’ve seen at this price range. https://zavfinousa.com/collections/speaker-cables/produ... 
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
"Just how many here went to the link I provided and listened to what the engineers at Yamaha found?" Count me in.  As far as top of the line QSA fuse and receptacle goes, nope. I rather spend $5944 elsewhere in my system.   
streaming devices, which would you buy?
“Just connect directly to the internet and to the streaming website, and use a computer with D/A converter to listen, and select music directly from the internet web site.”Well, you certainly not hearing the superb sound quality offered by streami... 
Favorite obsolete formats.....
wturkey, FYI, Reel to Reel is very much alive. R2R is making a comeback, new units being reproduced but on limited basis.I do miss cassette tapes and hopefully one day going to buy a nice R2R machine once there are enough titles. 
Favorite cable brand.
+1, @douglas_schroeder on using entire loom of cables from a single brand.  
Favorite cable brand.
Cost No Object - 聖HIJIRI “Million” Series PC, Speaker and Interconnects. Budget friendly - Audio Envy and Zavfino PC, Speaker and Interconnects. 
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
@matt00 Another vote for Audio Envy Mega 3. As @lak pointed out, Mega 3 uses twice the conductors than Ocean Elite 3p and recommended for any high current electronics like amps, integrated or power conditioners.  
My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital
“good digital and good analog are different, good systems are tuned for the chosen source and show either at its best”I agree with @jjss49, either can be lovely.  
Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW
WOW...his room sucks! If you’re going to make your living as a reviewer, first n foremost get the room acoustics in order.   
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
My vote goes to Tannoy Prestige series. I personally own Tannoy Canterbury’s and they are exactly what you looking for...very intimate, warm and holographic sound. Pair them with Accuphase Integrated or separates and you will find yourself in audi... 
MQA actually tested
^^^^Only you can decide if Qobuz catalog is better than Tidal based on your listening preferences. And yes, Qobuz offers content upto 24bit/192khz resolution for $12.49/month. Sign up for free trial and check out the catalog.  
Bluesound Vault & Original CDs
I got my collection of 800 plus CD’s stored in garage for over 5 years. Most of them has no monetary value cause they were purchased from Columbia House and BMG Music. I guess at some point they will end up at Goodwill :-)  
MQA actually tested
There is already a ongoing thread on soon to be defunct MQA  :-) https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/mqa-is-for-chumps 
MQA is for chumps
I never invested in any hardware supporting MQA and dumped Tidal as soon as Qobuz became available in the US. Qobuz blows away Tidal in both in SQ and content.
