@mulveling I suggest you work with Bluesound support to resolve your connection issue. I had similar problems myself at one time which were resolved by the very helpful support team.

Biggest audio hoaxes
@boxer12 What's a "CD"? 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
I owned a pair of HPD315s which I acquired in 1980. They were my mainstays until I sold them last year. Not a perfect speaker system, but a rather enjoyable one for it's unique sonic qualities. They definitely had that "British sound".

On the other hand, I had a Technics SL1800 Mk II which was a very nice machine. I purchased it in 1980 and finally I sold it in 2016. I don't do vinyl anymore, but if I did I would probably have hung onto it for the rest of my life.

Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship?

Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Herbie Hancock at the QE Theater in Vancouver 2019. Great band including guest mutli-instrumentalist Terrace Martin and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Although the sound rig itself looked perfectly legit (I worked in pro sound industry and as a pro... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
@ kenjit1 " KEF likes to do single driver point source speakers. It depends what you want. Single drivers have less highs but perfect dispersion. A 3way speaker has clearer sound but horrible dispersion. Nonsense. 1. KEF offers zero "single dr...
