There is none out there......
Lots of options here. I went with the TP Link to feed my Project Ultra Stream Box / Schiit Yiggy. I could tell a slight improvement over my Wi/Fi only. As mentioned above, I was concerned about added electrical noise. But it seemed an improvement.... 
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.

Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it
Read the sound description at Brent Jesse. My personal preference is all nos stuff. My favorite is Tekefunken, Tungsram, Seimens, Ei. American tubes are 6922, Phillips, Rca, etc. The various Russian tubes are nice too. Personally I dislike Mullard... 
Somewhat of an oxymoron - speaker stands for the floor for bookshelf speakers.
  Start with the Cardas speaker placement guidelines. Then read all you can find regarding placement. Look at some of the speaker stand manufacturers like Sound Anchor. For entry level speaker stands check sites like Crutchfield and Audio Advisor.... 
The latest audiophile streamer craze
I’ve been putting aluminum foil on my head for decades. Saves me from the aliens getting my brain. I learned that trick during the late 70’s while in Sedona. 😆 But joking aside you’re correct. I started playing with foil while in high school in th... 
Integrated Question
Hi , I can’t comment directly on the amp as I’ve only had the KWI 200 in my system. But I can comment on the tubes. JJ’s are just dry and lacking. I’ve tried the Holland and Seimens tubes including the CCa. Those tubes added to upper mid range whi... 
Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!!
@rdschicago, Dennis had one listed yesterday on EBay at $4250. Take a look and contact him. His email is Radioman??? , but start there. He’s busy but very approachable.   
Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET
   I know it’s too soon, but I/we would love to hear your initial impressions. Also after further consideration with the RP-1 being Rogues entry level offering, if the Had deserves a better pre? I was looking at Don Sachs website, and it looked li... 
The Healer
  Music absolutely heals ! My mother created and ran a musical therapy department at a hospital for years until she retired. Her pursuit to help people started by simply providing audio and video tapes with players to patients. Then on to  “ Clown... 
Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET
   FWIT I run a Rogue RP-1 into an older Firebottle SEP feeding Zu Omens. Schiit Yiggy , Thorens TT and MF transport up front. I have about 15 pairs of power tubes and 6-7 rectifier tubes for the Inspire. The Rogue pairs well with the SEP. I have ... 
Is low cost DAC worth it?
The 2 DAC’s mentioned by @pmm are an excellent idea. I purchased an early edition Schiit Uber Analog DAC as my first. I used a stripped down laptop with an external power supply and a Cardas Clear usb cable. I upgraded to a Schiit Yiggy, and later... 
Tube suggestion for Quicksilver Mid Mono Blocks
I purchased a new set of GL KT-77’s for my Had Inspire. At about 50 hours one let go damaging the amp. The exploding capacitor made quite a pop. It took me about 2 hours and 10 Q-Tips to clean out the mess. Dennis replaced the cap and the connecto... 
Short?
+2 for Ralph. Have your unit serviced, they can clean it and check the voltages and wash the coil. That runs about $100, retail on a capacitor is $150-200 installed. Or change it yourself if you can safely. Do it now before you incur further damag... 
Best amplifier for low to moderate listening levels
A little off track , but I’d like to make a suggestion. I have an RP-1 and it’s Rogues entry level pre. I tube rolled and settled on Tekefunken G73R 12AU7’s. I went with a nice aftermarket power cord and added isolation footers. I’ve also noticed ... 
How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?
Jerry , thanks for the input. I run low power tubes and live in the mid Fi world. I prefer Shunyata power cords. At my price point and in my system I’ve been pleased with Morrow interconnects. To the OP, I think Mikes marketing philosophy is uncom...
