You have to admit, hardly a happier looking guy out there.   
How many watts do you really need?
My system is very revealing and undetectable black noise (to human ears, maybe not electronic instruments). I need no more than my 1.5 W provide.   
late to streaming, recommendations?
ghdprentice +++1 Definitely will see an improvement with Qobuz vs Spotify. The other site has a used (dealer owned) Aurender N100 which is well in your budget at $1195. I think that would be a reasonable start. It has been replaced by the N150, ... 
Sonic Oracle: music discovery for Tidal and Qobuz users. Major updates
To anyone considering- I just joined and it is pretty great. Very easy to set up and to use. I love this as I listen to music a lot (like most of us) and I am always looking for new playlists. The Qobuz search and associated playlists often seem ... 
AC power cables that are not rigid?
Less Loss are quite flexible. The lower tier ones are in the $500 price range.  I bought them way back when C-Marc  was the only one they offered and they are quite nice. TBH, I don't think PC make a huge difference once you get to a high quality... 
Favorite Supertramp album?
Breakfast in America. Like most albums, I always seem to enjoy the songs that got little air play much more than those that hit the charts. ???  
Favorite Led Zeppelin Album
Led Zeppelin No, Houses of the Holy No, Physical Graffiti No, I guess it is the complete studio recordings.... lol They are all awesome  
Sweet
Congrats! I, too, have reached my nirvana and have happily left my tweak days behind. So much more pleasure from enjoying the music as opposed to enjoying my next upgrade.  Let there be songs to fill the air  
Chat, A-S class D and Klipsch
Hey Miles, I was perusing my usual dealer sites and see a demo pair of Coherent Audio The Eighteen Signature NEO + SGO on sale for $5990. This is 60% off retail. Sens is 102 and go down to 22Hz. I think they are a nice looking speaker and sound ... 
Chat, A-S class D and Klipsch
The A-S are so light and easy to travel, hopefully a dealer will allow you to plug your amps into speakers you want to audition. Just a thought  
Chat, A-S class D and Klipsch
I agree and think a horn/folded horn speaker or single driver speaker might do the trick. I have Charney Audio Companions (with the AER BD3s) and also own A-S Class D amps. My system is very musical while still revealing details. No fatigue whatso... 
Another tube preamp "What should I buy" question.
Congratulations!  I am so satisfied with the ML XL. It is my end game preamp. Wishing you many years of enjoyment with it. Can I recommend Ken-Rad VT 231 (6SN7) tubes.  In my system they are magic.   
Speaker hunt -> To leave or not Leave Martin Logan Behind
On the mention of a horn speaker, I would consider the Charney Audio Companions.  They are in your price range with the Vocative AC 2.6 and slightly higher than your price with the uncompromising AER BD3. I think you will be quite satisfied with t... 
Another tube preamp "What should I buy" question.
@rocray +1 Also, if this is the preamp you want for 20 years, a 6 month wait is not too much to ask. I run mine with both Atmasphere Class D monos and a custom Radu Tarta 45 SET into 106dB Charney Audio speakers. Both are DEAD SILENT.  I would al... 
LP Storage/Bench Combo, Dog is NOT Included
I wonder if the Weltron Company sold their old turntables to Roomba?! https://www.google.com/imgres?q=roomba%20vacuum&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Ff%2Ff5%2FRoomba_original.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fe...
