What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
I now have mono blocks and there’s an old style Cardas Clear Beyond for sale in Canada. If I buy a new style cable that has different plugs on the ends will there be a noticeable difference in the sound between the A style and the B style? Thanks.  
JJ preamp tubes - repeated problems
If they are preamp tubes, they should last 2000-10000 hours depending on the design of the preamp. Obviously there is something wrong.  While I don’t particularly like the sound of JJ tubes, they might not be at fault and I would hope Mac would in...

A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler
Depending on your price range, You can get an Audiolab 6000CDT that actually sounds good going into a good DAC. They also have a 9000CDT, for more money.  If your budget allows, check out PS Audio or Jays.  Jays is probably the best I’ve ever hear... 
on the cheap
I bought an open box Bluesound Node, N130. It’s a streamer and DAC all in one.  It gives you access to probably all the pay services as well as Internet Radio and DNLA, so you can access tunes on your computer or NAS. All the best.
