Flagship product to build around
@ebm  You're probably on the right track to build around an amp but a Class A/B amp and 350 Watts seems more like a boat anchor than a flagship. For that money I'd probably go with the Coda #16.  Similar power  but the first 100 watts are Class ... 
Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it?
Already did and wouldn't look back.  Amazon with a Prime membership is much cheaper than Tidal (look at the annual plan) and a much better selection.  Device support is much more limited though and playing in the car thru the pone works really we... 
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
@pesky_wabbit Will what can I say. The guy’s an idiot. 😁 and he's still could be considered audiophile     
Upgrade system to stream Tidal
A Raspberry PI and the best DAC you can afford will give the best chance of competing with your current source.  What about the paradigm Monitor 9s do  you no longer  like?  
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
I was on a thread here where a guy was asking for tracks that would show off his speakers, and appeared ecstatic because he had a system that allowed him to listen to his speakers without the music distracting him Not sure your assumption is re... 
Limited soundstage between speakers
For experimental sake just move your listening chair forward until you get the soundstage you are looking for. From that position optimize your speakers forward and back from the front wall. As the speaker move forward the stage should improve but... 
New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
Power cables do make a difference,  If you haven't heard it you either aren't listening or didn't try the right one.  You will have to solder the connection to the amp board and a large diameter power cable will require you to probably drill out t... 
Interconnects for MHDT Orchid
I used the 6922  adapter from Amazon and am currently using 7308 halo getter.  It seems to have more output than the 6922.  My favorite was the Amperx D getter 6922 from the late 50s early 60s.  I an leave the top on but the tube does stick furthe...

Interconnects for MHDT Orchid
Connecting my Orchid I used as short of large gauge cables as I could find.  Not a lot of money but the Amazon CESS-163-8i Low Noise 12 Gauge Premium RCA Audio Line Patch Cable (8 Inches) sound really good.i know expensive cables are in fashion bu... 
Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
My suspicion is that if you mention the name in the post and that person objects the moderators will remove it whether it's abusive or not. The reason that some peoples posts are removed and not yours is because the person named complained as abu... 
Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
tsushima1 Merely a couple of folk, of no consequence or experience, that hold a markedly different perspective of ARC products, your scribblings are beginning to appear somewhat 'Agenda ' driven. Quote from 2015. Same Axe just doesn't get old... 
Flagship product to build around
@dekay  Currently running the entry level Decware  2 watt integrated amp with tubes from the 50's and 60's into Speaker Lab corner horn (khorn clones) using a MHDT Orchid DAC with the 6922 adapter.  It gets loud enough when using a single sub but... 
Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ?
Pay off the credit card then apply for one of the zero interest credit cards for 12 to 18 months. Then buy the DAC of your dreams and you have a year to pay what you purchased it for. If you can’t pay it off in a year apply for another zero intere... 
Help with choosing sub-woofers please
Rather than a wireless sub and dealing with the network delays and active bass trap would effectively kill the reflection node  https://www.totmusicstudio.net/products/psi-audio-5
