Best songs to test speakers
Thanks for posting the links but I concur with @br3098.  
Switching speaker cables between two different amps (signal chains)
+2, on WBT spring loaded banana’s.  http://www.wbtusa.com/pages/0645m.html 
Help me stay with Vinyl.
“I wish not to go to the dark side of digital.” While I appreciate your sentiments this is no longer the case. Digital has come a long way, visit a friend or dealer who has a good digital (streaming) setup. If you approach this with an open mind, ... 
REL Subwoofer. Your input requested
@strenckr,The High Level Input on REL subs is not a marketing hype or a gimmick...it works amazingly and provides seamless integration of REL subs with your main speakers. You didn’t provide your room dimensions so it’s hard to recommend one 212/S... 
What is felt to be the best in wall speaker for a large den?
First thing first, have you looked at the depth behind the sheet rock? Take some measurements before you consider the options for in-wall speakers. I would highly recommend M&K in-wall speakers, if your walls can accommodate these. https://www... 
10 meters of interconect cable is too long.
@kd8606,I am using a pair of 25ft RCA’s between my preamp and amps (SET) with no sound degradation. Use quality audio cables and you will be fine.  
Damping Plates
“I’m saying trying them is an experience that will help you learn to evaluate and select the really good stuff.”One of the very few posts by millercarbon that is spot on...LOL. Most of the isolation, dampening accessories comes with return policy.... 
Which good discrete R2R multibit DAC & why NOS ?
@rost,You are probably one of the very few luckiest owner of this amazing player. IMHO, with CDP-777 there is no need to search for a R2R external DAC, your player is already outfitted with a SOTA converter. You will pay through the nose to hear u... 
Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark?
@uberwaltz,Please post your findings on double smoked USB. Do you know what kind wire is being used in this cable? 
Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
“I've noted many times that most audiophiles have no use for such tests.”+1, @cleeds Blind tests are for naysayers and skeptics. Trust your listening skills and you will know what sounds better in your system, regardless of the cost.  
Why you want upsampling and upconversion in a server and why it sounds way better!
+1, tom6897. IME, audio upsampling adds distortion and video upconversion adds noise. And neither is acceptable if you’re a purist. 
Streamers and bit rot.
The OP has a knack of over analyzing things...that’s all I am going to say.  
Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
“Audiophiling" the streamer is just the latest in the long-standing industry tendency to mystify and ’subjectivize’ a measurable process that ultimately has little to no measurable impact on the sonic result. For profit“While I appreciate the alte... 
Streamers and bit rot.
For me, it’s Aurender....5 plus years of worry free operation, outstanding sound quality and customer service.  
Basic Tidal streamer to USB DAC
If your budget allows, pick up a used Aurender N100H. This will give you substantial upgrade in sound quality over your MacBook or anything under $1K. Innuos Zen Mini has USB output but it also has a internal DAC just like Node 2i. For the price a...
