Enquiring minds want to know
Seriously? Please say no? 9,000 ;-) hours for a cable to break in, now this? It’s getting thick. Never mind! 
Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000...
@matt00 try the SP16. They have easy resale. Maybe for you it blows it out of the park. That’s the trouble with this, any recommendation should be taken as a suggestion only. You’ll have to audition some. What works for some systems might not work... 
Worth it to add streamer to Hegel H390
@jjss49 agreed. The Node really does work well for the money.

Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s?
@jtasker the manual goes through the WASP process well. It is worth it to start there and then see how that works in your situation/environment. Then tweak as required from there. Room treatment makes all the difference as well and should be consi... 
Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s?
Alexia 1’s are fantastic. They can fill a space, but can also work in a smaller environment. There is a certain member here that will tell you they have an “evil” load and only a couple of amps can run them. Which isn’t true. They do pose a challe... 
Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers)
Try not to completely rule out “simple face plates”. Hegel for example are excellent integrateds, with minimalist, modern looks. Parasound is another good example with the Hint 6 integrated, or a separates system. Very affordable and capable. Pass...
