Herron HL-1 Preamplifier, Solid State; Herron still in business? Thoughts about sound?
@hilde45 for under $1K you can also get a Herron VTSP-1 tubed I will say I had this preamp myself back in the day and it is dead neutral. So dead neutral I sold it craving more tube warmth. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650060982-herron-vt... 
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
Definitely experiment if you have the time money and energy. And I was like @stereo5 that Accuphase makes hi end cables? A web search certainly brings some up.

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Nice system @oldcar63 ! I've heard and really liked Fyne Audio speakers but not that model.

Very Very Interesting NYC Venue and Meeting Place
They don't seem to have a website that's too bad.  
2a3 ?
I love the 2a3 tube I have a pair of George Wright monos myself and love them. Clean and clear sounding but still natural and warm they drive my Audio Note AN-J's perfectly.  
My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles.
Ha I haven't driven by Scranton since the last time I drove to Syracuse! Class of 91 here.  
What would you do?
I also agree a tubed preamp and a good one can be a system changing thing.  
My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles.
Thank you @2psyop and Happy New Year to you and to all!  
Denver used market?
Condolences on your loss Graham. As far as The Music Room suggestion above I 2nd it. My best friend lives in Louisville and we went in to upgrade his ancient stereo. Not only were those guys a pleasure to deal with they seemed overjoyed to have lo... 
Why do people like reel to reel players?
R2R tapes sound fantastic but the machines are expensive there are not many pre-recoreded tapes out there and they are very expensive also. Like $500 a pop for software. No thanks but I love hearing them at audio shows.

Happy Holidays to all regardless of what holiday you celebrate may it be filled with joy and music!🥂
