Will audio gear be ok in unheated house
I have wrestled with this issue also. It is a pain in the neck bringing gear back and forth. Like you, I am mostly concerned about theft. What you plan to do sounds good and going forward I may try it. I swear my integrated tube amp gains 5 pounds... 
What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023?
@deep_333 BACCH has been around for awhile but u- BACCH was introduced this year. I purchased it at the introductory price. @scottwheel thanks for the update. Head tracking for two listeners would be great especially if it would work with Windows.

@scottwheel u-BACCH doesn’t have head tracking which is one of the reasons it is a lot less expensive than BACCH. Tell me about side by side seating ?

@mahgister Thanks and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season. I would love to hear your impressions of the software.  
What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023?
@mahgister I was interested in the BACCH system since it’s introduction but not only is it expensive it is MAC based. I did not want to take a backwards step in my system and go back to a laptop. I have a Windows based Wolf Audio streamer/server f...

For me it wasn't a piece of equipment but rather software. I have been interested in the BACCH system for some time but I had no interest in inserting a MAC computer into my system. Their introduction of u-BACCH software for Windows corrected that...

@kraftwerkturbo The Mini Lores don’t have the tweeter array that really makes the Tekton speakers a great value for your money.  
Sound Stage and Imaging
Tekton Design is within your budget and will provide the sound quality you are looking for. Today’s listings include a pair off Double Impacts for $1,900. There is a lot of positive reviews online for these speakers.

If Cardas Clear Beyond and Shunyata Sigma V2 speaker cables had a child ....it would be ?
I had the Cardas Clear Beyond which were replaced by the Shunyata Sigma V2. The Cardas are as the poster described as are the Shunyata. I like both and if I had SS amplification I would go with the Cardas whereas for tubes which I have the Shunyat... 
How long does it take your tube amp to warm up?
I have a pair of Cary 211FE amps which take an hour to an hour and a half to reach  what I call the Golden Zone. If right from the start I push them hard an hour but if I have company I like to slowly build up the volume so it will be about an hou... 
u-BACCH plugin software for Windows
Last month u-BACCH issued an upgrade that was free to subscribers. I have spent a couple of weeks listening to it and I like the improvements. You still get the added liveliness to the sound but the holographic effects are more noticeable. It is s... 
Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
I got tired of climbing up on my equipment rack to take down or reinstall the diffusers. Eventually ,I would probably drop one ,take a tumble or both. I wanted to be able to slide them out of the way. Barn door sliders wouldn’t work due to the duc...
