Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
U2... the were the first event in Jerryworld (Dallas AT&T stadium). The sound was better outside the arena than inside. I know because I left in middle of the concert. I don’t blame U2. The arena wasn’t designed for acoustics and the echoes we... 
Non-fee Internet listening, FM stations, etc.
Linn has a good jazz station I have as a default. Great sound quality and a variety of jazz music.  
Suggestions for medium priced Power amp and Pre-Amp Combo's
I also suggest an integrated amp. Explore NAD... 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
I found using Amazon Music quite challenging with my Node 2iAnd since I had Tidal and a server full of music I used Amazon music only a handful of times and gave up. 
Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i
Bluesound has a nice user interface for Tidal. I upgraded my streamer/DAC and strongly consider keeping the node because of its ease of use. I tried Qobuz and I didn’t find the selection to be a better fit than Tidal for me. 
members and their systems
@sokogear why would you think a millionaire or billionaire doesn’t evaluate the usage of their money?$100,000 invested typically doubles every 10-12 years. There’s always an opportunity cost for money.

members and their systems

Silver cables added resolution
For what this is worth....I was discussing the impact of all silver versus hybrid silver and copper with a rep from Kimber Kable.  I was able to get 2 sets used from a friend and was trying understand what was the difference between the cables."Th... 
Does a Tube Dac make sense?
Sure - the real question is what’s your budget and timeline. I have a tube preamp so my DAC goes through a tube on its way to my speakers and ultimately ears. So while I’ve only heard Audio Research tube DACs, I am certain there are options to con...

Nice...I had a NAD T765, it was awesome for home theatre 
Kimber Kable 4TC vs Morrow SP3
I agree with akg_ca...I'm not sure you'll get a bang for the buck.I'd just put in the upgrade jar for the sources/speakers before you upgrade your connections given you have a compatible set that doesn't appear to have any performance issues.
