Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
I called Tidal and they told me to turn off the power to the Bluesound and let it reboot.  That solved the problem.  I am hardwired CAT6 from the modem to the Bluesound so thought signal interruption from the modem was not an issue.I wish I had no... 
How many speaker companies?
Not sure why anyone would care about this,  Just listen to some and buy the ones that sound the best.  I think you also need to find a dealer who knows how to match an amplifier to speakers.  I would suggest attending an audio show and to listen. ... 
Which amp would you go with
I would save up your money for a few years and wait.  $1,000 certainly will not buy you much.

Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
I personally do not know what people see in MacIntosh.  I think Parasound is better.  I aua/ditioned my ARCAM AVR 550 and the ARCAM AVR850 and compared them with MacIntosh and the ARCAM AVR850 blew its doors off.  I like their G amplification tech... 
Higher End DACs
I would buy one that can completely unfold MQA so you can take advantage of TIDAL.  I can hear the difference and sold a brand new DAC that was attached to my Bluesound Node 2i in order to hear the complete unfold of MQA.  The Bluesound sounded be... 
Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria?
Why would you ever buy a CD player when you can stream Tidal MQA for $20/month?  It is convenient and you can sit down view their library from your seat and enjoy a huge library.  CD's are a thing from the past.  I feel the same way about vinyl.  ... 
Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.
Herbie Hancock (Water Mellon Man), Vincent Ingalis  (NastY) Daft Punk (4Ware) will get you started in the right direction. 
confused and don't know what to do
I am not a big fan of B&W speakers.  Where's the base.  However, if you buy a pair of REL S3 SHO subwoofers that would fill in the lower extension.I would look at ARCAM.  I have their AVR550.  However, I wish I could have afforded to spend $3,... 
Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear
That is why I would NEVER buy used equipment.  Save up and then buy the newest technology.I agree.  If people are selling their old used gear, their equipment must not be what you would like either.  Being cheap has its price. 
confused and don't know what to do
I would consider Anthem or an ARCAM AV850.i was not impressed with Bowers and Wilkins.  I would add a pair of REL S3 SHO subwoofers.  I like their high level hook up for music and they also are excellent for HT.  They act as Woofers to extend the ... 
Help hooking up a new amp
Why isn’t the dealer helping you?

Not sure why rebooting my modem and my Bluesound why this appears to have corrected the problem.  Maybe there is someone who might know the answer to this question.Thanks to all for your help.  As always you are all so helpful.

I rebooted my modem and unplugged the power cord from the Bluesound and reconnected it.  It appears this might have solved the problem.  Thanks to all for your help. 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
I will give this a try.  Didn't think I would ever get signal break up because I have my Bluesound hard wired by way of CAT6.
