All good here.  
A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender
@swede58  No, actually I did not. I listened to a  U2 mini with an SBooster, an N150 and I have a BS Node N130 with a Teddy Pardo LPS.  
An integrated bargain?
@kennyc  How can you hear/compare anything from YouTube to you own kit? Even with headphones, YouTube can’t give you the same quality.  
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
@mellowshifi  I have an Audiolab CDT6000 (cheap) and a Denafrips Pontus ll and am very happy. You could also get the CDT7000 or CDT9000 and still stay under your limit. All the best.  
Tune of the Day
Thanks @77jovian for the great review.  I saw him on PBS a while ago. I believe it was his last tour and I really enjoyed it. It was fun listening to the stories of where the songs came from. I’m sure the show was edited, so all I saw were the bes... 
Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp
@knollbrent  Quick two part question,  what didn’t you like about the Revels and what sound characteristics are you looking for?  
Upgrade speakers or DAC
@s2ssports  I would suggest you move up the Sonus Farber line. I am breaking in a pair of Amati G5’s and am really enjoying them. All the best. BTW,  what kind of music do you listen to?  
Whats playing on your system today?
Eric Alexander,  A New Beginning.

Recommendation for tube preamp
The ARC, LS28 is a thing of beauty.  If you can swing it, you won’t be disappointed. All the best.  
YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.
@rooze  I am another older guy, but I’m not signed in to YouTube.  I open the app and watch hifi videos.  So how would they know my age or gender?

Jazz for aficionados
@stuartk I spent an additional 72 hours with the Hegel and just switched back to the PS Audio gear and played the last tune I listened to. The PS Audio BHK preamp and amps sounded noticeably better! While the $6000 H390 is no slouch it really ca...
