Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?
are you really wanting to tri-amp or go full active.  If you can find a Linn dealer close by have them demo the difference.  You will be amazed.  
Qobuz Connect
I am running a Linn ADSM/3 streamer/dac/preamp using the 'Linn app' that runs in IOS.  Qobuz connect is not available for my streamer at this time.  I have not tried any other software.  What would I gain going to something like Audirvana or Roon?  
Why not more wireless connections?
My system is essentially wireless (but only partially).  My streamer (Linn ADSM/3 with Katalyst) requires an ethernet connection.  This is not convenient  in my house setup.  I tested it with an ethernet cable stretched across the room, across a h...

XLR vs RCA
From everything I have been able to find out, both the Linn and PS Audio a fully balanced.  But either way it sounds fantastic.  
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
I bought one piece of fairly high end equipment from them.  I was treated fairly and the transaction was smooth as silk.  I also traded a piece of fairly high end equipment for another (a little higher end).  Again smooth as silk.  Could I have so... 
Speaker choice
I have a very small room (10'x11' ), so definitely near field.  I am running a Linn ADSM/3 streamer, S300 PS Audio amp, and a pair of Linn m-109.  to my thinking it sound great.  
Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer?
I realize I am talking about old equipment from 25 years ago, but I think it is still appropriate.  We had a home theater room (roughly 20x20) with Linn speakers, Marantz power, and a 3 gun Runco projector.  For the bass we used a 15in downward fi... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Sorry, but I am streaming this, because I can't find a decent dopy at a price I am willing to pay.   Billy Boy Arnold - More Blues From The South Side  
My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours?
I have a Linn LP12 TT, so this may not apply to others.  But the Collaro mat makes a significant difference and is under $200  
Flatscreen between speakers
I guess I am pretty well screwed.  I have a small house, and my system is in a small room.  The room is also my computer room.  So my 32" monitory is on a table  in between my speakers. I am virtually always using my computer while I listen to mus... 
!!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!!
I downsized a lot too.  I sold off all my Macintosh separates and replaced with a Linn MDSM/4.  Preamp/poweramp (100wpc class D)/DAC/streamer, and headphone amp all in a single unit.  Source is streaming Qobuz or LP12. Powering a pair of Linn M-10... 
And the biggest influence on sound quality is...
Linn's philosophy has always been source first.  And I agree. If the source is bad all the equipment in the world can't fix it. It will only be lipstick on a pig.  
Wifi vs ethernet revisited
I run a Netgear Mesh router.  My modem is connected to the Router with a short 1ft ethernet cable.  My computer (Mac Mini used as a music server),  and my streamer (Linn) are about 20ft from the router and are run wireless.  I have zero issues.
