When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
Just ordered new speakers for the first time in 10 years! A pair of Audio Note AN/Jlx's in Olive wood veneer! Got them through Deja Vu Audio they should be here in another 7-10 weeks! 
Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5
You're talking about some very high end diverse integrated amps, will you have a chance to audition any or all of them? That Diablo sure is some eye candy btw!

Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Nice speaking of which caught The Gil Evans Project doing the 60th anniversary of Miles Ahead at the Jazz Standard in NYC over Memorial Day weekend a really great show. My first live jazz in sometime I'm embarrassed to say. 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Charles agreed all the way around and also don't sleep on DHT pushpull amps! Two of the best I've heard an integrated pp 2a3 amp from Cary, I loved it but the gf said it was too bright, and a pp 45 amp from Deja Vu. Both wonderful sounding and a g...

Best Vintage Dac??

Welcome home Frank! Glad you have some help spinning tunes and are enjoying the music! And hope it was a relaxing Memorial Day weekend! 
Buying a power cord from France, import duty and taxes?
You should be fine particularly buying a cable where the aspect of the product being damaged is out of the equation. And the cable is in fact US goods returned as it was made in the US. The shipper is doing nothing wrong and assuming the plugs are... 
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I use a device that's comparable to the Bluesound Node, an Auralic Aries Mini and like it very much paired with an AN Dac. Someone strongly recommended Lumin to me and I was intrigued by the Lumin D1 myself. However it was a non-starter for me whe...
