Many good and valid points have been noted on this thread. I would like to add that with speakers / components it is the drivers and the capacitors that take the longest time to break in. Some of the more exotic caps take a very long time!Cabling/...

Qobuz Users Update?
I am currently a subscriber to Qoboz. I listen to classic rock but I also wanted to expand my listening. So far I find Qoboz so-so in High Rez  sound quality. And searching with my Bryston BDP-2 is tedious.ozzy

Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp
I would like to add,  compare a high power amp to a high horsepower car. Even at lower operating levels you can feel the power that is available. By this I mean it is much more responsive and effortless in its presentation.ozzy 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
Normally I would say to plug the amps directly into the wall outlet. But my amps sound better plugged into the Audioquest Niagara 7000.ozzy

paulcreed,Getting items delivered from Japan is a crapshoot. My first order took only a week, but I think that was fluke. The second took much longer (about 3 weeks) and the third has not arrived yet. But I did order them a few weeks apart.ozzy
