Channels reversed in streaming versions of older albums
Led Zeppelin I also, Plant singing "Babe" (first sung word) on my first press UK copy comes from the left, on the remaster digital streams comes from the right.Another annoying thing about digital I guess.  I haven't tried any classical yet.  That...

check the vta lever.  It's probably too low.

Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading
I have a Herron VTPH-2A and I run several lomc cartridges.  I leave the mc input unloaded.  There's something on the Herron site that explains this.  That being said, mine came with several pairs of loading plugs including a pair of 47k plugs. 
Processor question
Thanks for that.  It's easy enough to test. 
Another Node2i Question
You should be able to get a good router and use that as an access point.  You can plug that into your uverse router and get a better wireless signal independent of all the other stuff on the uverse router's wireless. 
I can't be the only Cary Audio DMS-600 user experiencing this problem streaming Qobuz ...
I would agree it's Qobuz.  I got a month free trial, and on a Node 2i, I get the same thing.  Amazon HD works perfectly.  I will be dropping Qobuz at the end of the trial. 
Processor question

How do people feel about BluOS?
BluOS is an operating system.  It runs on the hardware of the streamer and provides the UI (user interface).  It can be built into many different devices, so commenting on sound quality without the context of the hardware it's running on isn't rel... 
How do people feel about BluOS?
I just got a couple of Node 2is, one for the living room and one for my listening room.  It's my first foray into streaming other than Amazon HD on the phone for headphone listening and use in the car.I like it so far, especially for the wife.  I ... 
Center Speaker Channel Conundrum
I left an answer over in the home theater thread.  I hope it helps. 
Center Channel Speaker Conundrum
I have a Denon AVR-X3600.  I had this happen after a recent update.  I fixed it by setting the Roku audio setting to Auto Passthrough instead of Auto Detect.  Then just make sure you have that input on your AVR set to Movie,  Dolby Audio, Dolby Su... 
Bring my own preamp to an amp demo?
It never hurts to ask. 
Bring my own preamp to an amp demo?
They offered to lend me a preamp for a weekend when I picked up the Maggies I purchased there. I haven't taken them it yet as I wanted to wait for the Maggie's to break in.  I'll be talking to John soon about preamps.
