Audience aR6-TSS Power Conidtionor
I asked Audience the other day about the 'D', and I think they told me it was a temporary designation that stands for Dampening.   That's all I remember.  
Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts)
I totally agree with denon1 on the characteristics of the Plinius.  I had to let mine go for a very low price.  However, Hegel H360 never sounds analytical to me though.  I guess it's totally system dependent.  The H360 sounds refined, airy, music... 
Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts)
I've had a Plinius Hautonga before and now the Hegel H360.  Hegel definitely sounds better in my system.  The Hegel also has a high quality internal dac. 
Anyone own Adona racks? Any reviews
I have Adona as well.  Solid rack.  Looks good as well.  Very pleased with it. 
Lampizator evolution
thankful, have you tried the Sablon usb?  I heard it works well with Lampi dacs.  Right now I am using the Audience Au24 SE, which is better than the Curious usb. 
McIntosh vs. Vincent
I've owned a Vincent SV-236 before, and I do agree Vincent is a far better sounding amp than McIntosh.  Vincent over McIntosh for me at any day.

No plan to change out the Aurender.  It works great in my system.  I just recently moved from a laptop to the Aurender.  I've been using a laptop with JRiver for a couple years.  Didn't think a music server like Aurender was going to make much of ...

I am using Aurender N100h with my Lampi right now.  Aurender sounds much better than a laptop or a mac.  A used N100h can be had for under $2k. 
Aurender N100C - alternative apps?
Thanks, Jon.  Will give it a try later today.

I really enjoyed my Amber II with tube rectifier while I had it.  Lampi dacs are excellent.  Very natural, organic, and musical sound.  I sold the Amber II yesterday due to moving up to Lite 7.  Lite 7 is definitely another step up from Amber II.   
Aurender N100C - alternative apps?
Is there a way to delete songs or album on the Aurender?  Also, why can't Aurender stream with Spotify?  I love the sound of my Aurender N100H, but these are the 2 frustrations I have with Aurender.  Thanks. 
Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used
I've used both Voodoo and Triode Wire labs with a lot of success. 
VooDoo Cables
I've had several Voodoo power cords (Mojo, Fire, Platinum Dragon) in the past, and I would say they were all very good.  Bruce makes good cables.   
Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1
The Vitus RI-100 is a very good amp in the elite class.  With the 300wpc output, this beast can drive any speaker out there.  I've heard it at my friend's place many times.  Amazing bass and transparency.  I don't think you can go wrong with eithe... 
How good are the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables?
I replaced the TWL with the Au24 SX.  Significant improvement!  Not that TWL is bad, but the Au24 SX is just in a different league like Jaybe said.  I still think TWL is an excellent cable and hard to beat in the price range up to $2k.
