Streamer/Ripper/Storage
Varying opinions on a CD ripper feature. If you don't need one, don't get a streamer with the drive to rip cds.  But, if you want to rip cds, the feature in my Innuos is as easy as it gets. You pop in a CD and in less than 5 minutes, the cd pops o... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
OK.  It's an excellent movie.  👍👍

I'm watching Land of Bad on Netflix.  Lots of explosions.  Looks like a good movie. 👍

@mahler123 I have a number of concert videos on DVD and Blu-ray.  A few of them have really good audio. Most don't. You definitely wouldn't build a system like mine if your emphasis was on movies. Mine does OK for me, but it would be pretty lacki...

@mahler123 he titled the post streamer/ripper/storage so I assumed that he did.   
Subwoofer RCA Interconnect recommendation
If you want something better than the cables on Amazon, I would check DH Labs.  They have two different options.  Even the most expensive model isn't crazy expensive.  If you go with speaker level connections, the Analysis Plus are relatively aff...

I'm very happy with my Innuos Zen Mk3.  It has a built in cd ripper and a USB output.

I'm using cheap Mediabridge cables for LFE input (home theater only).  I'm using Analysis Plus speaker level cables for two channel. I have two REL S /510. Why are using line level instead of speaker level?   
End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance.
@steakster I know what you mean about the coffee table. My son is familiar with working in a recording studio and was convinced that I should try Dirac Live. So, we tried it. My room measured reasonably flat, so I didn't bother to buy it. At one ...

@mswale Yeah, I realize that the Adcom amp is overkill, but I had it laying around, so I'm using it.  My two-channel amp is a much higher quality Coda. The Sonus Faber center speaker is actually fairly well matched to my Von Schweikert mains.  Th... 
Gustard R26 - good but not the one
@uncle_monkey I'm very happy with my R26.   I remember reading a review where the reviewer had the filter set to Slow.  That's my least favorite.  I have mine set at Fast. It doesn't sound as good on Slow. Maybe if you're system was on the bright... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2  That's correct.  When I run 2 channel, none of the HT components are in the signal path.  My two REL subs have both speaker level and LFE line level inputs that can be used simultaneously with different gain controls for each.  When ... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2 I should mention that you don't have to assign the HT designation to any of the inputs, so if you don't need it, you don't use it.   
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2 Nice system.  I've not heard of those speakers, but they look quite interesting with four 8" woofer.   My conrad-johnson preamps had a true theatre pass through.  The front channels from the surround processor went straight through the...
