Bob Weir documentary on Netflix
I love good music documentaries! I've seen the Daniel Johnston one too, and like it a lot. I'd appreciate some more recommendations! Here are some more:• The Flaming Lips - The Fearless Freaks• Marley• I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About... 
Connecting Subwoofer to Linn Electronics
That should work. As a test, you can try hooking the sub up to the tape out connection (and make sure that tape loop is set to record the source you are listening to). I have a Linn sub -- it should definitely work. If neither of those work, you m... 
Bob Weir documentary on Netflix
Seriously, Bdp? Thanks, Jdoris. : )By the way - I located the Duane Allman documentary on Hulu. It's called "Song of the South: Duane Allman and the Rise of the Allman Brothers Band" 
Bob Weir documentary on Netflix
By the way, I had also watched a good documentary on Duane Allman and the formation of the Allman Brothers Band, but it seems to have disappeared from Netflix. Keep your eyes open for it. It fits nicely with the Muscle Shoals film.

I watched the Levon Helm documentary too. It was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the Band, so I didn't enjoy it as much, but it was interesting. Last night, I watched "Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton" on Netflix - a documentary about Stone's Throw Recor...

I agree. I just watched it this week. Very interesting. I can also strongly recommend the Muscle Shoals documentary (among others) on Netflix. 
Recommendations to a small room setup
I haven't heard the Maggie MMGs. Would they really be a good choice for EDM music and watching TV? I would have thought dynamic speakers would make more sense for that application. 
Linn Kilmax DS as a Pre-amp
I'm going to strongly encourage you again to go to the Linn forums. There is an entire sub-forum on the DS streamers. They will tell you everything you could possibly want to know - and much more than just about anyone on this forum. 
Linn Kilmax DS as a Pre-amp
The Linn Klimax DS is a superbly rated piece of gear. I've only heard it in store demos, but people universally rave about it. However, it is not a complete source. you need to hook it up to a NAS or other network server and then control it ideall... 
USB DAC question for neutral setup. Please help.
Centrance makes nice DACs. I have their little portable DACport, and it is an impressive piece for the price. I'd check out the DACmini -- or a Schiit if you can find one around. 
Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions?
I'm a bit surprised at people balking over the $20/month fee for Tidal (roughly $10 extra per month over Spotify, I think). This is a forum where people spend thousands of dollars on cables and all kinds of voodoo tweaks. $10/month is less than th... 
Are tone controls worth a second look ?
Someone mentioned this briefly before, but it got lost in the shuffle: most of us have imperfect hearing. As I'm solidly in the middle age category now, my hearing has definitely declined in certain frequency ranges (no doubt due in part to too ma... 
Noise in line from MacBook Pro charger
That's interesting - I use a MacBook Pro feeding an external DAC via USB, and I don't notice anything. I wonder if it's related to your power or if it's only an HDMI issue. Can you try USB and see if you have the same problem? (btw - I had a pair ... 
Best older universal for CD playback??
I second the Oppo BDP-95 recommendation if you can find one. To be honest, even the BDP-93 sounds really good. There's one on eBay right now for about $200. I have a 93 in my HT system, so I only use it as a transport, but when I first got it, I t... 
What is you TIDAL setup?
Ghosthouse - you can check your streaming rate by clicking on the "Settings" tab on the left side of the browser, and then clicking the "Streaming" tab.I was listening last night in bed using MBP --> Wireworld Ultraviolet USB cable --> Centr...
