TP-Link MC200CM replacement PSU
Those will work. Voltage needs to match, power supply only has to minimally match amperage needs of equipment its powering. Max amps TPLinks require is 0.6a, those ps deliver up to 2amp, means they have amps in reserve, this is good thing. I alway... 
Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
Some equipment manufacturers no longer provide power cords, don't know if Bel Canto is one of them. I also don't regard lack of power cords in this particular case as a deal breaker, we're talking about pennies on the dollar here.   The fact sel... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Now have a number of listening sessions with Opticalrendu and further burn in on a number of other upgrades, still have perhaps 50 hours left for full burn in.   Not going in depth on listening impressions yet, but the reach and depth of 005 is ...

Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
Yes, ethernet vs optical cable cost is important variable to consider. Prior to optical I tried various classes of generic ethernet, worked up through Supra, Wireworld, and various AQ from Cinnamon on up to Vodka. Vodka substantially better from g... 
How critical is streamer hardware to SQ when it feeds a good DAC?
No problem with audiotroy, quit the cancel culture.

Buyer Dispute
@kirbymydog Wow, you're one of the most patient and understanding buyers I think I've ever seen. You're sold non-working speakers misrepresented as working when shipped. You accept offer of replacement tweeters which have not arrived for over 6 m... 
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
Forget about SET if worried 30-40 WPC not being enough. Heat will be of some concern, usually more heat with more power. I'd stick to push pull amps, fairly low power. Still like your PL inclinations as you can switch out a variety of power tubes ... 
Buyer Dispute
Misrepresentation by seller. Did he state tweeters inoperable, no, you have legal grounds for full immediate refund.   Don't let anyone tell you those tweeters suffered open circuit due to rough handling!  They were shipped with damage already i... 
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
PrimaLuna fine at your budget level. Separates better but you'd have to stretch budget. Actually, I'd rather have the PL integrated with it's active pre vs some of the other tube amps with passive pre's.  
Pimping your router
Yep, connectors are entrance ways for RFI, another reason I prefer optical.  
Best Server To Run Roon Core
@jksec Running directly to dac generally means running out usb port on server, unless this is optimized with something like Jcat or Pink Faun usb card, not best way to go. Running over ethernet gives one many options like separate streamer/end po...

There are three issues at hand. Quality of usb out of server/streamer, combining processes within one box and separating server from streamer, aka two computer solution.   Many servers don't optimize usb out, take usb directly out from motherboa...
