Thoughts on Big Star
Big Star is an American Treasure.  Church!Once you hear one of their albums you will want them all.  Problem is, they weren't around long enough to record much material.  There is no risk in this.  Just do it. 
The current best band in the world?
Have to agree with those who said Wilco.  With each album they make they get better, and their live shows are really great.  I am also a Son Volt fan, but they have not taken the whole alt-rock/country thing nearly as far as Wilco IMO.  I try to s... 
Favorite Dylan?
Based on your recommendations I picked up Desire a while back.  It's taken a while to grow on me, but I agree it's great.  His songs with Emmylou are the sweetest IMO.  Nice mellow vibe.   
Music Server - The Search Begins
I changed my mind about the Cocktail Audio server.  I'm going to continue researching this.in the mean time, I just ordered a RAID array to create a storage and back up system for my music and photos.  Since my Lyngdorf amp has a media player buil... 
Music Server - The Search Begins
Well, after much consideration I've decided to order the Cocktail Audio X50D.  I chose it for several reasons that I won't fully elaborate on right now, but one of the biggest motivators was it's versatility, with emphasis on storage capacity.  It... 
Harbeth 40.1 vs Sonus Faber Olympia III
I have had 40.1's in my room for the past two years.  I love them more than any other speaker I have heard.  But, yes, it's always personal preference.  I find them to be the most natural sounding speakers I have heard, but they are not dramatic i... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
An update to my original post after about two weeks of listening...First of all, the amp's sound has really started to settle in and relax.  At first it had a bit of a congested and tight sound to it.  Not really bad, just not great.  I estimate I... 
Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW
@sbank OK, now I see what you meant.  Thanks!@dill  I asked Paul to make some Clear Day balanced cables once but he wasn't making them.  That was quite a while back so maybe something changed, but now, unfortunately due to illness Paul is not maki... 
Music Server - The Search Begins
@rsure The TDAI-3400 is really good, and yes, the room correction really does work.  I started a thread in the amps section that documents some of my experiences so far.  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/lyngdorf-tdai-3400It's still breaking... 
Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW
@sbank Why would longer cables be better than short ones in this case? 
Music Server - The Search Begins
Innuous sounds interesting.  Any recommended U.S. sellers, online or other?  I'm in Minneapolis and do not believe there are any dealers here.

Thanks guys for your feedback.To clarify...I do NOT mind using a phone or tablet to select and play music, but I also find it nice to still be able to navigate my library when one of these is not available.  Probably my fear is somewhat irrational...

Interesting video.  Thanks for posting the link. 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Oh wow.  That's awesome.  I don't know how I missed it.Thanks! 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Do you have a suggestion on an easier way to rename the inputs on this amp?  I tried to use the included remote, and got one of them renamed, but couldn't save it.  When I hit exit it would just erase it.It would be nice if the phone app had this ...
