Seeking Schumann 4th that is listenable
I've always had incredible luck with HDTP   https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/products/schumann-symphony-no-2-4-szell-the-cleveland-orchestra  
Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
Jeeze Louise who cares.  I'm way more on Ray Charles's opinion than maybe he is,  but it really doesn't matter. Just change the channel.    But....if you're talking about the desecration of a race due to culture, then that's different. And yes... 
Hum in Speakers with New Dedicated 20 amp Circuit
As others have said, after turning off power to sub-panel AT MAIN PANEL, run the bare copper ground to the bus on the left of the panel and attach all grounds to this bus. Also make sure there is no bond strap between neutral and ground bus (the b... 
Does the length of the Cable matter?
"Length  always matters"   ....what she said.   
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
For it's sheer diversity (and incredible musicianship...)  Joni Mitchell "Shadows and Light"  
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
Think I would prefer a $10,000 system in a $990,000 home.... but thats just me.   
Great classical pianists

My thoughts on the HiFi Rose 150B
We are going urban (from a house to a medium sized apartment) so significant downsize to my video system. Was looking at the Hifi Rose RS201E for a simple all-in-one in the living room.  About to pull the trigger then realized no eARC on the HDMI... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
Wow, no love here for the Cornwall or Forte?? Maybe I'm a little partial.   
Great song to test bass
It's so cool to me that others know about "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo".I would also recommend "Cousin John" by Marcus Miller. Pretty good test for lows but even more so the speed and dynamics.  
You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?
Schiit and Klipsch.They both range from affordable to audiophile.  I've owned neither...yet. 
APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE
I've used Apple products for over 15 years now (since the iNtel switch) and have never even come close to having an issue getting something repaired or replaced. Makes me wonder... 
Dedicated 20a lines, 125 feet distance, which gauge wire to run?
First thing you should do is figure the current draw for your equipment. A little overkill is ok but why get carried away?In a previous job I rewired our ISP buildings with #10 stranded for all 110 VAC circuits, always with a separate neutral (no ... 
One box do it all
"This alternative provides an even smaller footprint than the BS Node, no power cord, and a display. Plus, the iOS device is fully portable. And you may find the SQ superior (though I’ve never compared it to the latest version of the Node)"One adv... 
One box do it all
NAD T778. Does more than you want but can be pared down to stereo or 2.1Also a tad over budget but the pickins are slim...If you COULD go separates (slightly) check out the NAD c658 and a decent power amp or integrated with preamp input.
