Phono to pre cable swap
When playing vinyl, especially with some Direct to Discs, I find reversing polarity (available on my phono stage), helps with image specificity.      If your system offers an easy method, try it.      It’s been my experience; the better the record... 
Still trying to find a new PC
I’m using two of Synergistic’s AC Master Couplers, at the outlet.      One to my woofer amp, the other (later iteration, w/MPC) to my Stealth XXX purifier, which feeds the rest of my system.      The balance of my AC cables are cut from Zu Mother ...

How long do you think it will take
It’s impossible (these days) to be a realist (actually paying attention to the facts/truths of situations and reacting in accordance), without being labeled a racist, xenophobe, or- some other psychobabble horse-shite.                             ... 
Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube
+1, regarding the Siemens CCa, but- the early Sixties, grey shields, which exhibit cleaner, high end sparkle and energy.     In my system; the later, silver shield/internal date code, CCa was a bit strident/edgy.
