Hopefully John's son will have some great memories every time he plays music through his system.      
Subwoofer Basics Help
I am driving my REL with the second pair of speaker jacks on my Cyrus integrated amp.   I used this sub in another system via RCA with OK results but honestly after hooking it up via speakon connector I think it sounds better.   I couldn't use it ... 
Do you think driver “break in” is real?
For some surrounds like treated textile, maybe for a short duration but I really think any perceived change is your hearing acclimating to the new component, as most sound different that what you had before.    
Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile
I think it's awesome that your boy loves music....   years ago I offered my son a pair of PSB M2 and told him I'd buy him a nice Integrated Amp and CD player.    He held his phone up and said "no thanks, my music is all in here...."     I almost ... 
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
I got back into vinyl earlier this year.   I cleaned up an old Garrard Lab 80.    It was nostalgic at best....    but I enjoyed spinning records again.   I looked at a few tables around $1000 and I decided to bump my budget and bought a Sota Escap... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
I love my N200. It's even better now with Conductor 4 controlling it  
Bluesound "upgrade" 4.0
Vers 4.05 seems to work fine on my Vault 2i now.   It was unusable at first but it looks sorted out now.  Not crazy about the new interface but I can see and play local library now   
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Warm it up with a hair dryer or heat gun.   Then use appropriate pick in the screw holes to lift   
Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100?
I second DH Labs.   Great cables that don't break the bank .     
PS audio or Moon
The 390 is nice.  Build quality on Sim Audio/ Moon is very high.   Really nice stuff  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
No way that SVS is as good as the Velodyne.  That is absolutely worth repairing.   Pitch definition and power on those 15" DD are awesome.  My brother's HGS 15 II rocks , not many new subs can rival those servo subs in my opinion.      
Is Aurender N10 still a good option
I started with a Vault 2i and the N200 was a step up in every metric...   I think because Aurender mostly focuses on streamer/servers they are more proactive and thorough with firmware.  They Beta before calling something a firmware revision.  And... 
Is Aurender N10 still a good option
I have had my N200 for a little over a year and it's been great. It's even better with the Conductor 4 app....  
OPPO repair
Good news .   As an FYI those players have a composite out that always works for the menu.      
Omega Super Alnico Monitor/Aric Audio SE KT88
I spoke to Louis last week and they should be done in a week or so.  They are for a second system but I plan on trying them in my main room , where the Forte are also
