The revolution has begun!
I’ll still with my class AB that I just bought. Maybe in ten or twenty years I’ll get the itch to look for new power and speakers.  
Pontus ii and Hi Res
@chocaholic  I have the same setup, but the Pontus ll doesn’t do MQA. If you want MQA, you need to run if from the node to you integrated amp or preamp.  
New DAC or New Streamer?
I’d go for a new streamer, like the N200, it’s an excellent choice, but if you decide to go up the Denifrips ladder, I might be interested in the Venus ll. 😁

Crimping tool?
@steakster  I have the same one as @tcotruvo posted. Had it for years. All the best  
Too much power?
More power isn’t always the answer in hifi. My speakers are 92db sensitivity and I also listen mostly in the 65-80 db range.  Probably using 2-25 watts of power.  Maybe I missed it, but what’s the rest of your system?  
Whats playing on your system today?

KEF Reference 1 v 107/2
@jayctoy  Okay, but is that his question??  
KEF Reference 1 v 107/2
I’m not tracking. What does the Kube have to do with KEF 107’s or Reference speakers?  
Wiggle kt170 base
Changing tubes should not cause clicks, pops or hissing. If the socket is loose, get it replaced or repaired ASAP. And if the tube is what is loose @jetter give perfect advice.  
Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ
I’m currently using Amazon HD and am planning on checking out Tidal in the new year. Amazon isn’t shiny at all, but I want to check out Apple, Tidal And Qobuz. Now I’m thinking that Apple might soon be off my list. All the best.

Aurender N10 display issue
@jl1ny  I assume you called TMR and complained and sent them pictures? Didn’t they give you 30-90 days warranty?  Is there any warranty left from Aurender? I’ve bought from The Music Room before and they’re good to work with.  
Aurender N10 display issue
@jl1ny  Did you buy the Aurender new??
