What are your top 3 favorite female singers?
Difficult but: Nora Jones Linda Ronstadt Sara Brightman  
Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
+1 for sparksgja Perfect & succinct  
Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle
I would look for a used Sutherland Engineering N1 Preamp.  They don't come on the used market very often.  I auditioned this against an Ayre and chose the N1. More versatile than the Ayre but strictly single-ended. Instrument grade quality and ch... 
New Sugden mono blocks have arrived.
Awesome, enjoy!  
At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections?
+1 for carlsbad My single-ended preamp easily drives my 25' RCA interconnects to my mono blocks.  Of course, they are quality cables & connectors. From what I can gather, if the preamp (single ended) has a low output impedance it would/shoul... 
So I was changing a lightbulb last night…
+3 bad or improper dimmer switch.  
Need 25 foot interconnects
+1 for Kota1 I have a pair of 25' RCA interconnects with Mogami W2549 cable on Neutrik NF2CB RCA's (or a simpler less expensive execution would be to use Rean NYS352G RCA's). Extremely pleased. Good luck  
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
Too much bad information.  A specialty pc can become part of a hi end playback system.  WMP has no place...try JRiver MC or even WinAmp.   Unfortunately, no truly fine internal pc DACs exist.  The last true audiophile PCI sound card was the M-Aud... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Wilson Benesch builds very competent stand mounted loudspeakers.  I continue to enjoy my Vertex loudspeakers & added the W-B Torus System.  Hardly in the super east no object league, but always engaging.  
How long should speaker cables be?
Yes, as many have stated, short runs of loudspeaker cable are often best.  To be practical I would say 3 meters or shorter if possible.  But the real world often dictates otherwise. I would like to offer that keeping single ended interconnects (S... 
What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect?
Since you are only concerned with single ended RCA interconnects with coaxial cables, I will share my experience with you.   For many years I used a fine 75-ohm Belden #9259 oxygen free single center conductor coaxial cable with a bare copper bra... 
What cause tweeters hiss ?
I should have stated to try a cheater plug on the Denafrips Ares II power cord. Many cheater plugs sold today are polarized and have a green tab on them. You should leave the tab in place.  If the cheater plug eliminates the hiss than you are good... 
The vanishing stereo rack
taww, I get your point(s) about where to place the dedicated rack in your remodeled space and the fact that 2-channel systems are not commonplace.  Passions and pursuits are not the same for everyone.  I can simply wish you luck going forward.    
What cause tweeters hiss ?
Try floating the ground with a cheater plug and see if it dissappear. Generally, the only component that you have to ground is the preamplifier.   
Best turntable for the buck
VPI is a consideration. Try & demo it in your system.
