Ripping CD's to hard drive
Fre:ac works extremely well and pulls in meta data better than eac.  
STREAMER
Placed an all copper cord and plugs on my lumin U2 mini, and I think the sound is better. Better more definitive bass. But not a ridiculous amount. My aftermarket power cord was $300.  
LHY OR SBooster LPS
Designsfx, Well I now have it and the LPS which is now powering my Ethernet switch. Unfortunately I cannot install the kit with my Lumen just yet because of other family obligations. But I will most likely install the kit come early February. T... 
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
1. Bruce Springsteen 2. Bob Dylan  
Subwoofer boom is too much for me...
Tony1954 above has the answer. I would do the same. But I already did.  
LHY OR SBooster LPS
Ended up buying the LHY Lumin PSU Kit with LPS50VA over the SBooster. I have a feeling the transformer and the tech in the LHY is better, but the biggest negative of the SBooster was that it has its connection point coming out of the front. That w...

To ROON or not to ROON ?
Just paid for a lifetime subscription. Have had all the software combinations spoken about above by others. But just wanted to stop fiddling and have perfect integration with superior meta integration. Roon fits that bill.   I only use it on on... 
Bryston's New Back To The Future Program.
Such an awesome company. Are they trying to make every other high-end Audio company look bad? Regardless, great freaking idea and deal.  
Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work
Bryston 7B3s and an Audio Research 6SE... excellent, just excellent!  
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I have a pair of Sopra 3s that I tried to integrate with a pair of REL s/812s. I tried for months to get them to sound acceptable in my room, even broke out the REW software. But no matter what I did those RELs wouldn't integrate well enough.   ...
