MissingCDs and records
@rvpiano thank you.  It’s on Income Tax Day, April 15, an easy date to remember.  Today’s project is to install the Wiim Streamer that arrived yesterday.  Thanks for the good wishes   
Cannot do 5.1 then does 3.1 make a difference or just stick to 2.1?
I have increasing issues with dialog and find that upping the output a notch from the center channel helps.  
MissingCDs and records
I’m having a knee replacement in April.  For various logistical reasons I will be using the basement bedroom for recovery.  I have a 5.1 surround sound system here, also my turntable, but no streamer.  I just ordered a Wiim streamer to add to the ... 
Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo
Once your favorite Internet station goes to a decent bit rate it’s a lot more reliable than the analog FM signal which even with the best tuner and antenna can be kayoed by weather and interference from other sources in a large urban area.  And on... 
Latest BluOS update doesn't work with my Node 130
I gave up on Bluesound years ago, due to frequent service disruptions caused by updates.  I used to try to avoid the updates but sometimes that would start updating automatically so that isn’t an option either  
Melco Audio N100 Won't Pair with App
The Melco Apo doesn’t work that well. Essentially it’s the mconnect app with the Melco name badge on it. So I just stopped using it and downloaded mconnect which works much better. My N100 recognizes mconnect without difficulty. Melco lack of CS ...

Glad to hear it  
Warm sounding phono cartridge
If the OP notices a significant increase in surface noise, pops/clicks, after changing the cartridge, then it doesn’t make sense that all of his vinyl would have suddenly deteriorated.  He seems to have a decent phono pre amp.  Perhaps there is ju... 
Moon 390 Network Streamer
I think I saw a post on Reddit some time back that Moon was having some issues, but I’ve tried to dig it up and can’t.  I think that one of their founders had passed and there might have been an issue about their future but I guess that it fortuna... 
Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo
I sometimes listen to WFMT in analog but it just doesn’t compare with the digital feed at 320 bps.  The analog feels like it has a hole in the motor the soundstage, even with the Magnum Dynalab tuner.   I go to Detroit frequently and agree that W... 
Tune-In Stations With Great Sound
Go for the stations with the highest bit rate.  WFMT here in Chicago broadcasts at 320 bps and sounds a lot better than the analog feed.  Somehow Radio Venice, at 128 bps, manages to sound excellent as well  
Moon 390 Network Streamer
Is SIM Audio and Moon going to be in business much longer?  Seems like I read a few months back that they were biting the dust.  A Trump tariff won’t help their bottom line.   Lots of great streamers out there.  I would buy one from a company tha... 
Seeking advice
Are you spending the time there just to break in your system?  If so, the answer to your query “Am I crazy?” Should be self evident.
