Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC?
BlueSound Node 2i.  MAQ is noticeably better. 
Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound.
As they say.  Junk in equals junk out. 
Interconnect cable recommendations for Node 2i and DAC
When I purchased my Node2i, the dealer talked me into adding a ProJect S2 DAC.  They convinced me the added DAC produced greater detail.  When I hooked things up at home and did a test with and without the DAC, I found by adding the DAC the bass s... 
Ethernet cable question
I wired my modem to my BlueSound Node 2i using CAT6.  The local dealer said that was better than CAT5.  Hope the dealer advised me correctly. 
Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse?
I have never heard of using a fuse?  Aren't there fuses built in to each component?  How could a fuse cause any audible difference.  Maybe it is like the Emperors New Cloths? 
Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
I would listen to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60's first to see if you like the sound of ribbon tweeters.  I for one liked them when I first heard and fortunately I went back to listen to them for a hour and felt I would develop ear fatigue.  Un... 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Perhaps this is why they make string instruments out of wood.  Ever hear of the word resonance.  What would you make them out of?  What are the best materials you can use to make speakers. 
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
If you can afford to spend $6,000, I would buy a pair of SALK Song3 Encore towers.  I heard these at the RMAF in Denver and they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall.  Call Jim Salk and tell him Larry Edwards from Denver se... 
Explain what is a clean power amplifier?
I use Pinesol to get clean power from my amp. 
Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF!
This was a really good explanation.  However, how much would a good speaker cable and interconnects cost?   
Now I get it...
People need to embrace streaming. It is the 21st century.  However, I do like the look of a $20,000 turntable.   
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
You would be very dissatisfied if you settled for the Focal 936 or the Martin Logan Motion 60's.  You will get ear fatigue from the Martin Logan's.  I ended up buying a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers and adding a pair of REL S3 SHO subwoofer... 
Been away for a while, need some help
I think you would be totally satisfied with a Bluesound Node 2i.  Tidal has an enormous library and I think you will enjoy their layout.  I think there is less noise streaming music than playing CD's and vinyl.  You also would have to spend a fort... 
Alternatives to Brick and Mortar
I still am amazed by how very little marketing is done in the industry.  When is the last time you viewed a TV ad for speakers, components?  Then everyone complains about how poor business is.  I am also amazed by how very few households have a pa... 
o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master?
What is a  SHM CD?
