Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones?
@lowrider57  Ah, I understand you now. I thought you suggested I get rid of the amp to upgrade but now I understand. Yes, the amp upgrade is next on the list of improvements. That will happen this October.   To be clear, i am not thinking of upg...

@lowrider57   This amp is not going anywhere-(except for the update at VAC in FL) I plan to live with it. I enjoy the humor  @jasonbourne52 brings to the table.

@lcherepkai  BMI Whale Elites I believe. They are just on my AMP which is plugged into it's dedicated 20 amp line straight into  the wall outlet. @pdreher My amp will be getting the mk III upgrade this fall, I've already talked to Brent @ VAC abo...

@ghdprentice  Thanks. Yeah and if I were to upgrade the amp PC it is X2$ because it is a fully dual mono amp with 2 separate power cords, 1 for each channel so not cheap!    
Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room
Goldenear Trition 1.r -New are $7500 a pair and really like tube amps. They have a power bass driver system so you can get good sound at low levels plus if listening really low you can turn the bass volume up on them for that listening session.  
Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change
I see the younger generation more leaning toward HT set ups. Multi channel systems.  
What's going on with the used audio gear market?
I just did that myself, in fact his price was so high I am just going to buy new instead.  20% is nothing for a 3 year old item.   
Suggestions for a digital cable.
@soix   I will, my pre-amp is currently at VAC and the upgrade was completed this week. It's in the testing stage and then will ship.  I need to get it back, buy the Mini DSP SHD Studio and get it hooked up. May be a bit, but I will come back here... 
Suggestions for a digital cable.
Thank you everyone, today I was able to locate a Wireworld Micro Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR digital cable on the used market. I think this will be a good choice as I have and trust Wireworld products, which I have owned for over 20 years.  
Any experience with Mini DSP SHD Studio in 2 ch system?
@djones51  I do not have subs.

Any experience with Mini DSP SHD Studio in 2 ch system?
@fuzztone  Are you referring to the streamer in the Mini DSP unit? Well anyway, I am not up to speed on how it works, so I wanted to just use the streamer I have, but I can look into that part of it later. I haven't been at this end of it (streami...

@ghdprentice   Would this one be a good one?  https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649878442-transparent-audio-high-performance-digital-link-75-ohm-1-meter-394-length-rca-cable-like-new/    
Suggestions for a digital cable.
@soix   Any reason for the 1.5 Meter vs shorter ones? And thank you for the suggestion, I'm aware of this cable but was skeptical vs the D60. It's been around for many years.  
What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?
I have the Dinafrips Hermes with I2s into the Venus II DAC. With the Hermes installed 2 things stand out. The soundstage is 20% (estimated) larger wide and deeper and the Bass has much better refinement and definition.
