Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit
I too, got tired of the hassle of tubes. I went with a SimAudio Moon P7. For me, it was a great choice as it checks the boxes of what I like.       
Finally upgrading my amp
Agreed, your electronics could use a refresh. The Denon looks cool as a vintage piece, but you can get significant better performance. This can be had for $2,500 used as The Music Room deals. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb8bi7-simaudio-moo... 
Cannot remove the grills from my Harbeth 30.2XD
  Pardon, this may be a waste of time if you have already tried strong magnets.   
Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter
What jond said. Perfect enfironment for audio heaven based on the volume. So many things going for you. Room EQ Wizard and $100 recommend micorphone and do some sweeps at your listening position. Go to waterfall chart so you can see decay which is... 
Ground Loop?
I have had a similar issue. Finally resolved with isolation transformer. You may consider using a cheezy inexpensive audio xformer ($12 on Amazon) for troubleshooting before purchasing something like the iso-max that uses Jenson transformers.  
What was your first record?
Either Three Dog Night's One or Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced. I would like to believe the latter.   
ROON?
Roon is also a music magazine, allowing you to get overviews of musicians, look at album reviews, discography, link to performers in the band and other bands, all the data there while you listen to the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7qBMe... 
Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description?
If you are unhappy with the item, get a return authorizaton and send it back. You seem to be asking a lot from TMR as I assume they do not have a research department, but provide the most accurate description they can of the item. I have been quit... 
Made the Move and Not looking back!
Glad its working for you. Based on my personal experience, I am smitten with Roon.   
Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices
Just realized I never answered the OP question. No, I do not think there is correlation between ticket prices and streaming. It is a what the market will bear. Gone to an NFL game lately? No streaming pressures there. I remember going back in the ... 
Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices
Thanks for this thread as I just checked some of the local action. I just paid $79.50 all in with fees for the Cowboy Junkies sitting seven rows back from stage. That is not a lot of money for a show IMO. Huge fan, seen before (was just thinking a... 
Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices
There are so many great shows with eye level viewing in great sounding venues. Tickets usually around $45 to $70. I stay away from the big shows and just go to the great sounding theaters. So much talent out there. Look forward to hearing "E" (The... 
How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
If you have cable throughout your house you could run an MOCA ethernet to coax adapter. Had a similar situation of modem on one floor and streamer on another. I had coax running through home so installed MOCA ethernet adapters on each end of coax.... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
A new album a day keeps the brain from fading away.  
DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport
Based on your system description your Chord Hugo TT2 is a competant DAC. I have a Chord Qutest I use in my headphone setup and have tried it in my two channlel system and with my system it is not in the same league as my PS DS MK1. I do understand...
