Distorded sound with Tidal
explorateur typically digital volume controls shave off bits to reduce volume so you are certainly hearing a reduction in resolution and sound quality the lower you move the volume control. It's not that your system is particularly sensitive that ... 
What are the odds......
I think it comes down to cost vs performance. I love the sound of my system now I am sure it could be improved but at what cost? Likely too much for me to consider upgrading as my performance level, to me, is quite high. 
iPad Mini as control device for network player
I've been using a Ipad Mini for the last 5 years with my Auralic Aries Mini it works great and I like the size of it. 
Midrange Noise
It's likely just a bad tube and nice to see Jim White posting here that's good customer service.

Finally - New Spendor distributor in North America
You can't just adjust currency you need to add in the cost of shipping, distributor markup and retail markup. A 25% premium to get something to the US and through two tiers of distribution seems eminently reasonable. That's assuming you still want...

Well done and very slick! 
Sun Audio with or without preamp ?
It really depends on how much gain you need, what's your source? Also I used to own those same speakers had them for 6-7 years they sound nice. I ran them with a 17 watt pushpull tube amp and thought it drove them well but on certain, mostly rock,... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
Sometimes people leave their sense of humor at the door and good humor is key to being relaxed and in good mood. I love talking about audio and no matter what someone's opinion is it never makes me angry. Certain of our members seem to use any opp... 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
My Furutech cords are relatively flexible and sound good. I am at a point in my life that I have no time for equipment, or cables, that are a struggle to deal with. No more super thick inflexible cables for me again ever.
