Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?
... or reading hi-fi forums.   
A step to the side- Smart TV question
I've got a 65" Sony XR65A90J that I got a couple of years ago, and I think it's great - I've got it connected up to my 2-channel audio system, too.  
Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?
If they give bad products great reviews, they will soon lose many of those views/much of that money as people catch on. I watch a number of them, and maybe I'm naive, but I don't regard any of them as being shills or having started reviewing at K-... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
The Pine Box Boys at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco about 3 weeks ago.   
Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk
@o_holter - in my experience, the best hearing aids for music are also the best ones for everything else, which tend to be towards the top of the line of various hearing aid manufacturers. But it's wise to have a talk with your audiologist about it.  
Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade
@rego - Yes, that Oscar Duo is 'fast'; it won an audition I had at my dealers a few weeks ago against a Dynaudio Heritage Special and a YG Acoustics Tor (and my current Fritz Carrerra BE's, which I brought along). There was just something in that ...

The best looking speakers
@kokakolia - interesting; I do take a big interest in my living space; I've been talking to a decorator about a re-do but it's not easy to find decorators who have any real interest in dealing with my audio-visual setup.  The best looking speaker...

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
'Acid casualty'? You seem to be confusing Roger Waters with Syd Barrett.  And while Roger might be pleased to be described as 'sixty- something', he passed that age demographic a long, long time ago.   
Listen to a CD or LP in showroom?
@larryi - that's interesting - I was born and raised in Silver Spring (1951 - 1969) and I've never heard the term 'DMV' for that area, though that is clever.   
Room divider
Might depend on the acoustic properties of your room divider. And it would be a good idea I think to have the divider a good ways behind your listening chair or you may get reflections of the sound off of it.   
Better Records vs MoFi
Not sure if it was pointed out that Better Records offers no-questions-asked, full refunds, if you are not happy with what you received for your money - just pack it up well and send it back - so it's not like you're spending all that money on a g... 
Music that MUST be experienced with cans?
You'd likely get more responses from people who actually enjoy headphones over on the Head-Fi forums than on this place.
