| Kef LS50 Wireless - optimal configuration +1 on Tidal upgrading your streaming service would be the easiest and cheapest upgrade possible and the difference is very noticeable. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp for Focal Sopra 3 Just a thought as AVM is very highly regarded and your speakers aren't the easiest load perhaps add a tubed preamp to your system? A preamp can have a very serious impact on the sound and give you some of the tube sound you're craving. | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing So you have something from Cayin that developed problems in under 3 days and you're still worried about having the money for another Cayin product? As so many of us keep telling you try slowing down and reevaluating and develop a new plan. Take yo... | |
| Trying to make sense of the new and improved world of streaming music All good advice above I would add the Auralic Aries to the recs of streamers I have had the little brother the Mini for 4 years now and love it.

| Help wanted I agree with everyone above often a bit of patience not only saves money but gets us the upgrade we really need. And congrats on the new system it looks great! | |

| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing mozartfan at this point I wish you good luck your mind is obviously set on what you want to do. I hope the Leaf is the preamp you've been searching for and perhaps selling the Jadis is not the worst idea. No point in keeping a high end amp and not... | |
| Tube types +1 on the Matsushita 7DJ8 I use those myself and they sound great and are very strong and rugged. My preamp uses 6 6dj8 types so always looking for a good NOS tube that's a good value this fits the bill perfectly. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall Audio Note AN-K sealed cabinets and designed to be placed in a corner or against a wall. Should be around your budget. | |
| Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal. You can certainly use a tube amp in a streaming setup.
