LG vs. Sony 65” OLED
I have a Panasonic 60 inch plasma TV.   I’m still waiting for the next best thing or that it breaks @sextantcv4  My buddy had the last 60” Panny Plasma and about a year ago got a Sony Bravia 7 microLED TV and thinks it is much better all around... 
LG vs. Sony 65” OLED
I read most of these comments. Really surprised no one is mentioning Samsung. I'm pretty sure they sell more tv's than Panasonic , LG and Sony combined.  @zx10 I had a friend who worked for Best Buy a few years ago and told me they saw a lot of... 
LG vs. Sony 65” OLED
Thanks for all the great thoughts/feedback.  Honestly don’t see going wrong either way and it was really a bit of a coin toss, but ultimately I went with the Sony for its marginally better upscaling, sound, motion, flesh tones, and glare propertie... 
Ethernet cable for TV
@audphile1 Thanks and good to know a relatively cheap Ethernet cable produces great results, and I’ll probably just pick up the one you mentioned as I’m already familiar with it and has a decent reputation here.  Any particular reason you prefer S... 
Advice on upgrading from Sony WH1000XM3 to new headphones, DAC, amp.
If neutral/realistic with excellent imaging and an expansive soundstage is what you’re looking for I’d highly recommend Hifiman headphones.  I own the Arya Stealths and recommend them highly, but the Ananda Nano/Unveiled may work fine although if ... 
Seeking DAC Advice for a Secondary Two Channel System
Why are you using the Node at all if you have an Innuos?  
contrast with my special upgraded Tekton Encores
Here are a some from Vandersteen and ProAc that’d be well worth a look.  They’re not available used now, but a Joseph Audio Perspective 2s would also be very interesting.  Best of luck.  https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650331831-vandersteen-w...

What’s your budget?  
When to give up CDs and TT?
Agree with @parkergetdean if you’re asking that question it’s already been answered.   
Rockport Avior II's in 19x24.5 room?
It is unfathomable to me that a reputable dealer would sell a pair of speakers at that level without first posting or having pix that they’re in great shape.  Unforgivable and just downright stoopid IMHO at that level.  What were they thinking?!? ... 
B&W 800 D2
I have not found anything B&W 800 series speakers do better than Joseph Audio IME after comparing them side by side except sound more clinical and are harder to drive and find electronics that won’t set off those tweeters, but that’s me.  FWIW.   
Bookshelf/subwoofer combo
Given what you’re looking for and budget, I’d pair Joseph Audio Prisms, ProAc Response D2s, Revival Atalante 5s, or Fritz Carbons with a pair of Rythmik F12 subs.  All would be sublime IMHO and pretty sure you’d be thrilled with any of them, but I... 
Bookshelf/subwoofer combo
What sound characteristics are most important to you, and are you looking for new or used?

Congrats!!!  
The streaming revolution.
Quality streaming has by far provided the single biggest overall improvement to my listening experience and enjoyment of music in my almost 50 years of being an audiophile.  I truly pity those who haven’t yet discovered or fully embraced it.
