Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25
Gotta sift thru some mud to find the gold. 
I need quiet as much as music sometimes so help me please
I bought a pair of the Sony 1000 4's today. Got very lucky when the guy at Best Buysaid he owned the Apple $500 modeland it was pretty excellent with interfaces with other apple stuff. But the case was a jokeand he admitted the Sony may be better ...

Life's frustrations carry into the audio world too.That last paragraph seems to contradict itself a little.Perhaps this fellow is very ill or worse? 
Upgrade Time
Some great ones mentioned above. Also Vinnie Rossi or better yet Rowland if you can find a good used one not too old. Separates may be a slightly higher level of SQ but along with thatyour drain off funds to buy other better components.Not to ment...

Okay you erred by buying the INT ahead of the speakers but youmade a great choice so you're not boxed in.The most musical sounding Speaker we heard at a recent event was theSonus Faber Electra Amator 3. Fits your price range. In a smaller room a 3... 
Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners!
Most everyone I know who owns a Spatial is very happy with them.Just Not hearing the Box alone is a major Plus.  I hate to say it but Tektons are not high audiophile sound. Best suitedto a dorm room. If I lived in Europe I would be investigating a... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
Bottom line:The best is yet to come. And for 1/2 the price of today.So, if you can wait you will be rewarded.If you can't wait buy the Bricasti ! 
Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage
Aric is a good value and employs my favorite tube, and likely better than the 3 you mention but the Sch-t Freya Pre at $1,000 is a total steal. Other than the obnoxious volume clicking sound you have to endur, its great. If you want to spend more ...

What audio expos are worth going to?
Pencild,Axpona is dead. Munich is the best but no show for 2020,2021.RMAF is the only game in town. I think you will enjoy it.The Gaylord has some large exhibition rooms. 
Rank the top reference DACs you've heard
dCs gets my vote.
