Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
Why do amplifiers come with such cheap power cords.  The power cords they come with might cost $5.

Anthem STF Integrated ARC
I would install an internet connection.  I know my BlueSound requires one and I am not sure if you are streaming music.  
What is the most important cable in your system
I upgraded all my cables and I am not sure I heard a difference because the only way I would be able to hear the difference would be to have a toggle switch to compare quickly.  
Why is everyone so down on MQA?
I wish I understood MQA better.  The way I understand it is it was designed to fold the files 7 times in order to pass the data through slower internet speeds.  Now with internet speeds being 1 gig this is no longer necessary.  I have a BlueSound ... 
Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
I personally wouldn't want to feel obligated to purchase speakers if I brought them home to try.  I also would want to risk damaging while in transit and then having to purchase them.

Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source
I read an article and they said tube amps hum.  That would drive me nuts.    
Cables
I think Synergistic Research are quite revealing.  They brought out the highs in my system which I dearly needed.  I wonder who is the most knowledgeable about cables in this group.  There is a lot of knowledge.  
What am I missing?
I thought Spotify is just MP3.  
Amazon music vs Qobuz
The big question is what sounds better.  Tidal Hi-Fi subscription or Qobuz.  Someone demonstrated Qobuz in a blind test and I picked Qobuz every time.  Problem is I am not willing to give up the Tidal format.  I was sold on the idea of hooking up ... 
Recommendations for good sounding streamer

Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
