I had a Soundcraftsman 15 band per channel EQ that added noise to my system. I now have a Harman Kardon EQ8 that is dead quiet when in use, but.... I had a guy who's a professional musician, piano tuner etc. play with it for over an hour. I test... 
LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!

21 year old AV receiver - waiting for the end?
My Harman Kardon Citation 22 amps, Citation 25 preamps, and Citation 23 tuners are over 30 years old. Same with my HK CD players. Over the past year or two some things started to fail. I'm almost done getting everything refurbished. Some things a... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
Audiophile. It's largely an ambiguous term. Do you like music? Does what you listen to it through sound good enough to you? If not, are you improving your equipment enough so that you do like it? Good enough. Except for helpful advice, nobody ... 
Tune of the Day
Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. One hit wonder from 1983.  Heard it on the radio the other day for the first time in many years.

Cleeds, I knew what you meant. Your post was very clear. Another thing to consider too, try and take a server to a friend's house to watch a movie or listen to music.

An HDMI switcher. Yup, that’ll do it, thanks Erik! Digging around I see I can get up to an 8 input switch. https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-4K-Switcher-Projector/dp/B0B5PC925B/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1RVLVTDAAAWNA&keywords=HDMI%2BSwitcher%2B6... 
Speaker cable lifters.
I prefer Lincoln Logs. Don't laugh, they can n be built up just like Tinker Toys!

What new gear have you just bought?
FWIW, the power cords I referred to a bit earlier arrived and fit both my Tascam CD Recorder and my Rotel CD player. The new cord is actually a better (more snug) fit than the one that came with the Rotel. Thank you to all that helped out in the t... 
What new gear have you just bought?
Thanks for trying to help steakster. According to the one link you provided, I would need a C17/C18 cord. That would be 2 prongs on one end, 2 slots on the other. I still don’t see one of those in 14 gauge doing a quick look. I’ve put more than en...
