Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
I put Pangea C7 on both my Node2's and Vault2. I didn't hear any difference with it but I have to say I do like the build quality and the cosmetics are very nice.   It ended up being a good WAF so I quit looking at power cords after that.    
Should I upgrade my TT wiring?
Or spend $500 on a new turntable....  Seriously, unless you are in love with the TT, the $100 is 1/5 the cost of a new and quality turntable.     
The Private History of an Experiment that Failed (with apologies to Mark Twain)
It might be time to look outside the box, so to speak.   From what I read in your post, it appears you were diligent about details. I had a BDP-1 in my system for a while and I really liked the musical sound it produced.   I never experienced any...

I can't answer your question but I did upgrade their old DAC to the top end flavor with the  Fempto clock and that was pretty amazing.   W4S makes some good stuff and they are easy to work with.  if it is in your budget, and the upgrade makes sens... 
Streaming Spotify
Too answer your question in a very general sense -  Phone DAC - if you can, definitely move to a high end DAC over the one in your phone.    Keep in mind it mpeg music is what the phone designers figured would be the most common format. Bypass P... 
Holst the planets on Lim CD...thoughts and impressions
Is this a good time to make a joke about switching to vinyl?  :-) Actually, I don't have the CD but now I see I will have to go out and buy it!   When I get it, I will make a note to comment here.  
Ayon S-10 Mk 2 with ROON / Tips for better SQ
Interesting info.   Can you tell me a bit more about the REW filter you added?  Are you using the Roon Core on a Nucleus or do you have it on a PC or cell?  
Budget High Current Power Cords
One problem with these expensive cables is the manufacturer doesn't make a million feet a year of the stuff.   Economy of scale is the big deal in getting the price down.   So, they are expensive, regardless of how they sound, which means it is di... 
Qobuz stops playing via Roon.
I had a lot of problems with the BlueSound Node 2.  Some folks had good luck using a hardwire eithernet cable instead of WiFi, since Roon hires requires a lot of bandwidth.    Try a temporary set up and see it if it works.  If so, you have a solut... 
Wyred 4 Sound Dac-2 and Pro-ject Stream Box
Call Wyred4Sound directly and talk to them.   They are easy to talk with and very knowledgeable.   The W4S DAC is a great unit!    
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
I'm not going to get into how this applies to low frequency audio work, but in going through the math, there are some errors in it.  So, that makes me suspect of the paper and conclusions. 
Then there were 2
I'm not familiar with Rogue but if it were my money, I go with ARC. The Resale value is better and I know it has great sound quality.   ARC has a sound quality reputation that has spanned decades - they aren't going to ship second hand sound. 
Oppo 205 to KEF KC62 settings
This sounds like some time on the phone is needed with the manufacturers in question.   There is a lot going on here, so either experiment over time and trust your ears or default to what the manufacturers say about their stuff. 
EPDR more important than impedance alone
In general though, if your amp produces twice the power into 4 Ohms as it does in 8 Ohms, you should be in good shape for an 8 Ohm rated speaker.  That will give you plenty of current overhead, regardless of the phase angle.  Do note most amplifie... 
High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted
I haven't a clue on why the threads are deleted but I don't think you need to worry about the company, they are making plenty on their cables.   But, I'd worry about the backhoe you will need for your wallet when you buy their stuff!   On the othe...
