Wolf alpha 3sx streamer vs lumin u1
Congratulations on your purchase you are going to love the performance of your unit and the service you will get from Wolf Audio. I started out with an Alpha II and when the Alpha III came out I had Joseph Parvey upgrade my Alpha II . I am now usi... 
Wisdom of buying high priced digital gear (given new advancements underway)
For more expensive gear I would only consider  buying from manufacturers who make upgrades available for their digital equipment.  
High Powered Holographic Amplifiers
 I have to agree with the cable recommendations. Some recommend starting with power cables but I say try some speaker cables. For a holographic presentation I would suggest trying Audience Front Row, Cardas Clear Beyond and Shunyata Research Sigma...

Thanks for sharing. I am a huge Melody Gardot fan. 
How long for payment?
+1 Ozzy There should be a way to warn other sellers if someone is a deadbeat buyer. Why have ratings if you can only leave positive feedback? 
What's the deal with Canary and why have these amps been FS for so long?
Canary makes very well built and good sounding gear but for some reason they don’t get much attention.  
Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time?
@stereo5 I know the store you are referring to & have purchased gear there in the past . The owner is a good & fair guy. One time I pulled into their parking lot at the same time as a guy in an arrest me red Ferrari. I was dressed in a sui...

Help with upgrade bug...
First thirst thing I would do is replace the Monster unit with a PS Audio Stellar 3 power regenerator. PS Audio has a trial period so if you don’t like it send it back. 
Synergistic Power Cell 12, SX, PS Audio P20

How do you share the sweet spot?
I used to give my  guests the sweet spot and sit directly behind them. Yea I was being a good host but lousy company. It is taken more than  a little time and a few bucks but now I have a sweet spot over 6 feet wide so I have two very comfortable ... 
Anyone try the Psvane Acme Supreme 300 B tubes ?
Thanks everyone for your responses especially shkong78 . Comparing them to NOS WE tubes and saying they hold their own tells me a lot and is exactly what I was looking for. 
Cary SLP-03 Tube Preamp- Ultimate Upgrade
Unfortunately I cannot comment on the SLP-03 but I did have the ultimate upgrade done for my SLP-05 and thought it was more than worth the money. Not only did it sound better but they checked everything out and replaced a couple parts that weren’t... 
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
Like tuberist I tried a lot of 6sn7 tubes. My favorites were the metal based Sylvania’s stamped USN. I now use 6f8g and BL 63 tubes instead of the 6sn7’s because I like the sound a little better and the old 6f8g tubes from the 40’s are a lot cheap...
