Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
@whipsaw "Ah Um" reminded me of Charlie Mingus "Mingus Plays Piano". Put it on immediately. So thanks. When I see lists like this I check everything I don't know and always pick a thing or two. Others do the same?  
Has it all been worth it?
Yes ma’mm sir. YESsirrebob and yahsureyoubetcha.

Make that Grant Greene “Idle Moments”.. one of the greats. Green also plays w/ Ike Quebec on “Blue and Sentimental” Art Pepper “Getting’Together!” Wynton Kelly on Piano too. Chambers and Cobb too. The track “Why are we afraid” is a favourite.   
Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers
Another Grimm MU2 vote or maybe the Aurender A30.

What should I upgrade next in my system?
+1 @deep_333 Think of the room as one of your most important components. How bad is the 4K Apple TV streamer and Anthem processor I am currently using for Tidal, Qobuz, and YouTube Music? I assume pretty bad... Better than Apple TV can be had ... 
One box solution
Ugg.. sorry to hear. I had a Naim in an apartment and it’s ok. Read as I think better can be had. Lyngdorf 3400 yup sure and for 15K there are lot’s of speakers new or barely used. Dutch & Dutch speakers are compatible with high-resolution ... 
Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer
Totem Acoustic or Sonus faber should be given serious consideration. Verafi Audio is an excellent bang for the buck (Never heard ’em.) Have a set of these Vanguard Speakers (in Bamboo) puppies in my whole house system and like wow.  
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
@bobbyloans If it ain't broke don't fix it.......unless you are an audiophile...you know you want to noodle around. Why not. @waytoomuchstuff makes excellent points in the how to department. But before you get to your workbench is your room treate... 
A question about tube rolling
Can't say much about the Pro-ject Tube Box DS2 phono preamp and the tubes that delight you above all (as I just don't know) but please consider that phono preamp "rolling" may/will render sound differently too? That really can't be dismissed. Natu... 
I feel for you
Great and well considered post by you under-the-hood technology wiz kids. Thanks. I don’t have the aptitude as you folks do to make or modify many things (except simple wiring) and the last auto work I did was rebuilding a carborator fifty (gulp) ... 
Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2
Add subs no mater what you choose.  
Has anyone tried these SnugPlugs?
Furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet or Cardas 4181US Duplex Power Outlet are way to go. Lot's of these fora too.  
Should I use Impedance 4 or 8?
Yep... Try both...Please let us know if you hear any difference. I have done this and could not tell any difference.   
«40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!»
  My theory is that guys like gear. Period. Maybe in this country “Audiophiles” are shrinking but not in Japan, Europe and other spots on mother earth.  I got the bug early on. My Dad had (fifty plus years back) big Tanny's, Mac 275/Mac Pre, a...
