Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait?
What do you think is going to happen? Seller can’t get it sent back. It’s out of their hands and yours. Maybe take it like a champ and understand the situation at hand. I’ve had to wait two months for a package coming from fedex and it was at a hu... 
buying (NOS) tubes online
@inna i see you deleted your post about not liking Brent Jesse. Why?      my vote is for Brent and Andy for NOS. I try to never buy off eBay because anyone can put down test results and even show a picture of the tube tester that is biased wrong... 
Experience with Modwright products?
Great company. Owned a phono pre from them and it’s one of the best I’ve heard. Ph150.  
Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ?
Firstly, for what you’re going, for I was just change the dac  
Dac that has tone and timing?
Lampizator. I’d grab the cheapest one you could find. They all are amazing. I like them much more than mhdt dacs that I’ve heard quite of few of.   
Lampizator Questions
Tannoy, probably because in each dac the best implementation was used after R&D. Maybe the Horizon circuitry benefitted best with that type of  tube is my best guess.      
Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
I’m interested if it’s in Seattle.

Stuff I want pops up there at times but it’s always listed at a crazy price and on their eBay account it says to not send offers. If there prices were at least just a tad closer to the regular I’d probably buy stuff. I don’t mind buying from a gre... 
Choosing a network player/streamer
I use my bdp2 via Roon or Audirvana and have no problem besides having to go into settings and click Roon ready every so often.. (if I turn my computer off) I don’t ever get the urge to upgrade as this setup works great!

 OP got a response not to worry, sorry for the inconvenience and that he will make it up to him in some way. Doesn’t seem that bad. Definitely enough to have some worry but let the company try to fix the problem. I’m sure you will see your cables ... 
Audio Research Ref75 se
What size is your room? Also you could get a regular ref75 for way less and pop in kt150’s for 90-95% of the sound quality of the SE version..

Holo Audio Spring 3 DAC
I’m happy with my Spring 1 KTE. If I upgraded it would be up to a May.  
Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help
First watt amps are really good especially the J2. I use the audio research ref 75 with my orangutans and love the combo. VTL 5.5 as a pre. I liked the line magnetic 518ia set amp too but not my cup of tea for all genres of music. The refs 75 defi...
