Please help with setting up a streaming system
I, and I assume many others here, would LOVE to hear your impressions of any differences you hear between running direct from your router and using the extender.  This would be MOST VALUABLE information as so few people here have done both.  Thank... 
Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702
What amp do you have now, and what improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for?  
Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer
A used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars are well within your budget and are all-around outstanding speakers that’ll let you cross over your sub at a lower frequency than many other monitors.  Fritz speakers also worth a look.  Best of luck.   
More Bass
I’m confused as to whether you’re still limited to 12” subs?  If not, a pair of 13” SVS SB1000 Pro subs will definitely up your bass performance and include integration software all for $1100 with a 45-day, risk-free trial including shipping both ... 
Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury
Can you give more specifics under which topic/headline your tinnitus response can be found? Not easy to do without more info and I’d love to read it as I have a band mate who’s suffering from pretty severe tinnitus. Thanks! I’ll just also add, I ... 
Herron or ?
If you can wait for a new one to be built or can find a used Don Sachs preamp, just go for it — and it does use your desired 6sn7 tubes. I don’t think the LTA will give you what you’re looking for. http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/  
CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
What’s your budget? Jay’s makes one of the best, and ProJect also makes a great transport.  Both are next-level transports and will likely make significant improvements, but they’re pricey. Best of luck.  
Herron or ?
They’re obviously both great and doubt you could possibly be unhappy with either.  I’ll just say Herron is no longer in business, which may be a consideration for down the road in terms of repairs.  Best of luck.   
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
Draw your own conclusions.  But I know of a guy who used to work in the same office who had a sign on his desk "The Buck Stops Here." @carlsbad Wow, that’s one impressive economic argument and exactly the depth I expected.  No need to stomp tha... 
Cable upgrade
Am I thinking correctly here?  Yes you are, because you’re using your own ears, your own tastes, and your own system.  Keep going with that.  Higher price doesn’t always mean a better fit.  Sometimes less is more, especially with cables.  I’m j... 
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
So, @carlsbad your implication was clearly that Biden caused the price of cables to increase. I know your ilk isn’t big on facts or evidence and more on just flouting unsubstantiated claims, but please regale us with your evidence on specifically ... 
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
+1 @blisshifi SB3000 Micro won’t get it done — physics is physics. Asking a 12” sub(s) to augment a speaker that already hits a solid 22Hz is a tough, and maybe impossible, ask. Whatever’s limiting your sub to 12”, I hope it’s something worth the ... 
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
@stereo5 It wasn’t the OP, but still applies and totally unnecessary here.   
Rell or JL subwoofer?
@alucard19 So I then assume your SB3000 did not have the SVS integration software?  
transport/dac vs integrated player
You want a PC no where in the loop or near your audio system. @ghdprentice big +1 — a computer should be no part of your audio system.  It’s the nosiest source for music, and noise is the arch enemy of good-quality streaming, which is why stand...
