Geffen, Disney and speaker placement
The great European halls are very lively. I think they're able to control  reflections rather than the use of heavy damping by the US. The "shoebox" is the perfect shape for sound to fill the hall.

Grounding questions
@mschott You’re fortunate to have @jea48 on your thread. I have one question, an electrician ran a dedicated line for you but left the service panel without a ground?  
Trying to convert my streaming service from Spotify to Qobuz.
iTunes has nothing to do with the Qobuz app, very strange. Did you use the Play Fi app to find Qobuz as a streaming service?   
Equi=Core 1000
@stevebohnii  My 1800 is an earlier model, it's not from Core Power but from Walter's introduction of the unit. Your model has some improvements. In any event, my 1800 certainly made my system more revealing. The highs didn't have increased exten... 
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
@mitch2  Good choice going with the Amperex PQ. I sent you a PM.  
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
@mitch2  Sounds promising, you've used premium Amperex before so you know how great they are. Did you look for any NOS Mullards?

@holmz  Brent Jessee has a detailed description of NOS brands and their sonics.  
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
@mitch2 If anything, I wouldn’t mind a bit more tonal density in the midrange through upper bass, but not at the expense of clarity. I am also curious whether I will hear any spatial differences with NOS tubes, like greater perceived dimensiona... 
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp

Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
if the circuit can handle it 12BH7 is the preferred alternative to the 12AU7 5963 (industrial) and 5814A & 6189 (military) are drop-in replacements for 12AU7/ ECC82.   
need a new IC cable ( rca )
Since you like Purist, look for a used pair of Aqueous Aureus (not the early models). There's a major improvement in clarity and dynamics over Museous. Shouldn't be more than $400.  
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
I've already expressed my preference for NOS tubes and to buy from a reputable dealer, but I must give props to Psvane. My preamp came with a Psvane 12AU7-S with gold pins and it had very nice tonal qualities. It presented a wide soundstage, but l...

Tube’s sonics will perform differently depending on the circuit. What preamp are you using? RCA blackplates, Mullard boxplates, and Amperex 7316 are all excellent tubes but have different sonic signatures. What type of sound do you seek; warm, lu... 
Equi=Core 1000
@stevebohnii  I'm glad you like it and there shouldn't be any rattling or hum as you suspected. Walter is a "righteous dude." He's really doing right by you.
