Eric, if you think you need help, you should get it from a professional that  can help. That being said , I know many people out of what can be considered very intelligent.  I am a computer guy for a research R&D facility and know dozens of PH... 
Preamp suggestions, yes again
I recently borrowed some audio equipment from a friend.  The Shiit Saga + II and the Bifrost DAC.  Playing off an Innuos mini mk 3.  This is going to be difficult to beat for the price!  The voices became buttery smooth, more clear and detailed as... 
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Try  wired connection directly off the router should give you a gigabit speed. Wireless bandwidth is limited.  Especially of running wireless video to receiver boxes in other areas of the house.

As an electronics guy here is my opinion Take it or leave it.  A power cords whole purpose in life is to supply power.  Many manufacturer's will do a great job in circuit design,  power supply design and for some reason overlook the amperage ratin... 
Expert Advise Needed on Streamer - DAC combos.
After doing a home Demo, I was totally impressed with the sound of the Innuos mini MK III.  It is heavy for its size. I can burn cds to a 1TB hd in the unit which is more than I will need.  I listened hours  for about two weeks with it as a Roon c... 
Educate me on music streamers, please.

Innuos and Roon
I am testing an innuous  mini MK III with it setup as a Roon Core. I am inexperienced with this technology.  This is a demo Unit and my first experience with Roon. I have to say the innuos sound is amazing with Roon. The key is the DSP.   All room... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?

In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment
Well, only the people who are very well off will have a 30k integrated unless a second mortgage is taken out. High end audio has always since my teen years been a hobby learning, observing and seeing where financially I fit in.  Since I fall middl... 
Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer?
A subwoofer?   I am not on the subwoofer bandwagon yet.  I built my own speakers and I am not an audio engineer by any stretch of the imagination.  I am very picky about my sound but never had the money to buy the speaker sound I like.  My 8" towe...

Power Conditioners
Being an electronics technician,  my recommendation would be the Furman,  will get the RF. but will quit if hit hard by a large spike. and an isolation transformer with voltage hold circuits to keep voltage steady, filter spikes, low voltage, RF, ... 
JBL L300 - true myth?
The JBL L-300s were the best sounding JBL Speaker I ever heard.  I built some JBL Lancers with the 14" Aquadag coating LE 14A  JBL 5" Mid and 1" Pro Titanium tweeter.   I thought the Lancers sounded better than most sub - $1000 / Pair speakers at ... 
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
