Modular LP record storage suggestions
Would it be blasphemous of me to recommend good old fashioned milk crates. They are sturdy, stackable and come in different colors if that makes any difference.   It's what I happily use.  
Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
Not sure how many hundreds you're willing to give, but I second the vote for a Cronus Magnum by Rogue Audio.   
Bluesound
YES!  I thought it was a glitch with my system. Good to know I'm not the only one seeing it.   
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
Another vote for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum  
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
As a general fan of the BluOS platform, I'd lean toward the NAD M66 (assuming streaming will be a routine).  But I also say proceed with caution and do a lot of research before hand. NAD failed spectacularly with the initial release of the C658 s...

How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
I can second the recommedation for using powerline ethernet adapters. I have one running from my modem to an adapter plugged into a wall socket. I have 5 streamers of various brands scattered about my house (including the garage) - each plugged in...

Another vote for Rogue.  My Cronus Magnum II is one bad mofo!

Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable
I prefer an ethernet connection. I use powerline ethernet adapters to negate the need for long ethernet cable runs.  Works flawlessly.  
Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ?
I recently watched the 1961 film "Paris Blues" with Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier.  Fantastic jazz soundtrack! 
BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
I have a Node 2 as well as an NAD C658. I can detect no difference in SQ when using WiFi vs Ethernet.   Like  sfgak1 I use ethernet via powerline adapters. A very simple solution vs running ethernet cables over extended distances.  
Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out?
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum integrated amps have a variable output that can be used for subwoofers. That's what I use and it's fantastic!
