Your last concert was to see who and when?
Third to last show--Jesse Cook February 1 Dallas Majestic Theater: Really good show, but you gotta like the world music genreSecond to last show--Eric Johnson February 2 Dallas House of Blues: I love this guy. His live playing is near perfection--... 
Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s?
+1 @ricred1 You should consider the Antipodes line. I have heard the DS, owned the DX and currently own the DX3 server. I have also listened to much of the Aurender line. I favor the Antipodes sound quality and Roon capability. Your budget is such... 
Adding a Sub do i go with 1 or 2 ?
I've had one and it was good. I've had two and it was better. I currently run two subs; it can help take care of room nodes. There is some research out there that says more and more subs is better and better but I stopped at two and you probably s... 
Speaker Width?
I also highly recommend the Jim Smith book, as others have above. It is one of the best values available in getting the best sound you can from your room and equipment. His book deals with your issues and puts them in order of significance for sou... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
@whitecamaross FWIW I run each of my Jeff Rowland M925s through their own dedicated Denali 6000S, each on their own separate dedicated circuit. IMO it makes a noticeable positive difference over plugging the monos straight into the wall. I run Car...

We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong

CD no more produced?
FWIW I have found that researching the CD pressing is important (as others on this thread have mentioned) and that discogs makes that relatively easy. Once I buy the preferred CD pressing I then rip it to a server and the physical copy goes in my ... 
Used Atma-Sphere M60-MK111 Tube Amplifiers
I'm sorry for your loss. I checked the A'gon Bluebook feature for you and it leasts the average price to be $3422. Consider that as one semi-reliable data point but it at least gives you an idea of the range you are looking at.RegardsAl 
Hey RICH Audiophiles
So that's frustrating! Sorry for the double posting of basically nothing. I meant to positively acknowledge schubert's wise quote.

Just saw Jesse Cook...yeaow!
Yep, I own almost all his CDs. He can play some serious guitar in a style that is "world" and not weird IMO. I would love to see him live. I saw Tommy Emmanuel in December. Totally different style, but if you enjoy acoustic guitar fingerpicked sol... 
How many of you had been to all 50 states of United States.
I have been to all 50 states. There are some I could have lived without but I won't be saying in public which states fall into that category. 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
+1 @georgehifi and @caphill My family has compared streamed movies via Netflix and Amazon Prime to their 4K UHD discs through the exact same system on multiple occasions and the discs always easily win using the Oppp UDP-205 4K UHD player.
