What player to stream Amazon HD with?
I tried Amazon and canceled my subscription I like how Tidal displays on my Bluesound Node 2i much better.  I also, despite what others think, like how MQA sounds.  It is nice to know what you are listening to and the way the artists wants people ... 
fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed
Agreed.  What's wrong with mentioning the name of a retailer if they are not treating their customers wrong.  Perhaps they need to be singled out as a warning to others. 
Shortcut or badcut?
You will lose your sense of sound stage. 
Itching for better sound
Klipsh?  You have got to be kidding.  Since when are they an audiophile speaker?  Unless, you like your ears to be drilled with high frequencies.I agree, save up your money until you are ready.

Quobuz issues on the Bluos app
I love the interface between the Bluesound OS system and Tidal.  I also like MQA dispite what others in this group think. 
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
CD players are a thing of the past.  I purchased a Bluesound Node 2i and I no longer play CD’s on my OPPO CD player.  I stream Tidal and I love hearing hi res recordings and MQA. 
Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad?
The only legitimate dealer I have dealt with is Alber Sportis who owns Precision Audion and Video in Chicago.  I purchase some expensive gear without knowing him and he was twice as good after the sale and he priced things better than the local de... 
Need tips to better my sound
Get a Bluesound Node 2i and stream TIDAL.  This will allow you to listen to hi res and to also enjoy MQA.  I liked the Bluesound better played by itself rather than adding a DAC. 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
soix, I listened to everything at Magnolia and found the ARCAM 505 to be much much better.  You could get a deal at Listen Up in Denver. 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
Paradigm 85F floorstanding speaker plus their 55C center channel.  You can call Scott at The Sound Shop in Colorado Springs.  He will give you a screaming deal.  Tell him Larry Edwards sent you. 
Streamers with best apps?
I don't see how you can beat a Bluesound Node 2i.  Hook it up using RCA and enjoy MQA on Tidal.  Love the interface. 
Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops?
I wish I had listened to SALK speakers before I purchased mine.  They sell direct and are able to build their speakers using much better drivers because they don’t have to cut corners selling to dealers.  I listened to their Song3 Encores priced a... 
CD Player vs. music streaming
Don't be fooled by expensive streamers.  The BlueSound Node2i is great sounding.  I would suggest using TIDAL and connecting the Blue Sound to take advantage of MQA.I think the days of playing CD's are coming to an end.  It is way more convenient ... 
Forever speakers around $5000
The Song3 Encore's from SALK Audio would be my choice.  They are $6,500 and sounded better than $50,000 speakers I heard at the RMAF.  They sell direct only to bypass distributors.  As a result they are able to buy expensive drivers and manufactur...
