Making the audiophile experience more available
asp307, if you ever have long computer sessions, I would highly recommend a small amp at your computer desk.  I am a photographer, so during photo shoot edits, music is wonderful. 
Leather couch, leather love seat or single wooden chair
I vote for the 3 seater. This way you get the sweet spot for solo sessions, and get 1 or 2 companions for group sessions.as awesome as a lone Herman Miller chair may be, it is a lonely thing. Perhaps 3 Herman Miller chairs!  
Newbie here with a cable question
It looks like you’ll two pairs of interconnect, Possibly a phono cable if you don’t already have one, and one pair of speaker cables.  Do you have a price range in mind of what you are comfortable spending on those 3-4 pairs of cables? If you want... 
Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please
Thanks Sfar, great recommendation.  I was not even aware of that album.  Just gave it a listen via Tidal. 
Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you?
I’ve asked Santa (aka my wife) for a Schiit Jotunheim headphone amp to power my new Audeze LCD-2’s! 
Higher end value cables
Kimber PBJ should probably be on your list of possibles. $117 for a 1 meter pair of RCA interconnect.  Kimber makes a range of speaker Cable options in a similar style called 4TC, 8TC, and 12TC.good luck! 
Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please
Check out the often overlooked album called Spirit. I love it. Really well recorded and produced as well.  Shotgun Willy and Redheaded Stranger are also great. 
Speaker Placement Priority - wall clearance or perfect equilateral
Dlcockrum, the speakers stop just before the rug, to move them fully onto the rug will be too much for the look of the room.  It is a living room & Audio room, so there has to be a balance.several of you mention more toe in. I think that is wh...

Decent DAC to accompany Burson Soloist SL Headphone Amp?
Have you considered the Schiit Bifrost? 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
My latest purchase, Audeze LCD-2 headphones are really quite fantastic.  I have never owned a really good pair of headphones before.  Now that I have a baby asleep, my hifi sessions are limited :-( The headphones are opening up a new mode to liste... 
Schiit Audio headphone amps
Decided to buy a Schiit Jotunheim.  I have a balanced system, I want the power that this amp provides, the reviews (both professional and amateur) are overwhelmingly positive, and the price is great.  When I get it, I will share my two cents! 
Curious about the BAT vk55se
So much the better.  I am sure the SE version improves on the original nicely.  Usually the SE upgrade is not as big a difference as going to the next product up in the ranks, but at any rate, you are considering a very fine amp.  What are you usi... 
Curious about the BAT vk55se
I had a vk55 (not the se version though) and I thought it was great. The amp I had before it was a 100 watt Acurus.  Eventually I wanted a closed chassis and a bit more power so I switched to Audio Research.  However, when I made the switch, despi... 
Schiit Audio headphone amps
I am also interested in this. I have a Chord Mojo for portable use and to use at my computer, but I would like a headphone amp to connect to my main system’s preamp, so I can enjoy my music after the baby is sleeping. Was looking at the Schiit Jot...
