Tubulos I2S cable
I have the Agrentus but I have not compared it to anything. @jerrybj  So it's less detailed and thinner in the midrange than the Concentus?  
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
I had the Goldenear Triton 1.r-very close to the T-Ref. I then replaced them with Legacy Audio Focus XD's and that was a HUGE improvement. There may be a Legacy Speaker that would be worth your consideration. (Focus XD + Wavelet crossover?) Most p... 
Tubulos I2S cable
@jerrybj  Which was what sound?  
Anyone with Aric Audio experience?
Thank you @aricaudio   You are talking me off the ledge. (Even though you told me this before) I believe I may be ready later this summer. Unless I get the Motherload first! :)  
Anyone with Aric Audio experience?
All great feedback and thanks to all that chimed in. @jazzbobob  I read you review before you posted here as that amp and the Super KT SE is on my list of choices, Aric is steering me toward the Super KT SE which can get me 20WPC UL with KT150's b... 
Silversmith XLR
I got his email too, but I also am not in the market at this time.  
Anyone with Aric Audio experience?
Thank you all, this is very encouraging. The Motherload II XL is on the list with one of his amps. Aric responded to my very detailed email and will be getting back to me later with his advice, he's building some amps today.  I appreciate the conf... 
Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
FWIW I too have been very happy with my N200 and Aurender Support has been extremely quick and responsive. Good luck with your decision.  
Does the streamer effect sound quality
I agree with @audphile1 Keep the node until you can save up for something better.  I owned a Cambridge CXNV2 before my Arender N200. The Aurender is far better. The CXN was good and had a good sound as a stand alone unit, I didn’t like that it d... 
Speaker for 11x12 room
I would take a serious look at those Used Fyne Audio speakers that were suggested, they work well with tubes.  Firing down the long end at the 8.65 foot wall. At least the first several 6.5 feet on each side of the speakers is symmetrical so you w... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Shunyata Black Mamba on sources and 2 BMI Whale Elite on amp which requires 2 power cords. Much quieter back drop the music was presented in. I still have them. I use Wireworld Silver Electra 7's on my digital front end now.   
Musical subwoofer under $2000
@sparksgja  FWIW I have an Arendal 1723 1s. I use it in my modest 5,1 HT. It is a fantastic sub, two for music would fit you very well. I consider them the equivalent to an SVS SB 4000-in specs.  They have a 45 day audition period. You had mentio... 
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
Support indicated that I have app V 4.4.10 and 4.4.18 was just released today and that seems to be working. Time will tell.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
@audphile1 Just an Iphone 13 and a Macbook.   I usually have the N200 in standby so it boots up at beginning of session. I think it is an issue with iOS version and V4.   I will try a complete reboot tomorrow.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
@ghdprentice  Yes I have, and I updated it via a link provided from Support. It will work great, then I will pause for a while and when i come back it's messed up. froze up. Sometimes the music is still playing and moves on to the next selection i...
