Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
I've owned a N100H since new about two years ago. I had difficulty at first to get up and running due to old software, but my experinence with customer support was excellent and have had no issues since.  
Favorite Guitar Solo
Steve Howe. "The Clap."  
Audio Mirror Tubadour IV vs Lampizator Amber 4
Amber 4 review "Enjoy The Music" 7/22 if that helps.  
Most amusing album or song titles
"Fattin' Frogs For Snakes." G.E. Smith did a nice version.  
Both preamp and power amp have volume controls. Preferred method to control volume levels?
Treat the power amp as a "rough tune" and the preamp as a "fine tune." Start with power 9-11 o'clock with pre zeroed out. Turn slowly and see what happens.  
Recommendations for a vacum tube tester
Hi Dill, For myself.  
Jazz like this? Suggestions
I would check out titles by Bill Charlap. You may also like Emmet Cohen's classic series featuring Ron Carter.  
Spending a month's salary
Upgraded speakers matched to the room. Upgraded amp matched to the speakers. Leave 10-15% of the budget for new cables.

LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
The Ramones. University of Rochester (NY) campus in the early 80's. Ears rang for three days. I had tinnitus but it went away on it's own.  
Passive preamp vs. powered
Just a "shout out" to blindjim for what I thought (imop) was an insightful post.

That will be the same day I like Budweiser.
