Do people tire of audio forums?
@charles1dad Charles, you are one of the most positive voices I've encountered in any forum. Go Blue! @hilde45 I've been gleaning info from your Rel sub posts, very helpful for setting up the pair of Rel subs I purchased, must be selling big time... 
Do people tire of audio forums?
WBF, snooty or well informed with plenty of money to blow?   As for diy or custom build like me, diy forums are the worst as  objectivists predominate, all about measurements. Audiophilestyle forum an exception, built my streaming setup based on... 
Shane MacGowan has passed on.
Pogues created some extremely meaningful music for me, knowing of Shane's issues with substance abuse made it even more meaningful. Shane grew up in a substance abuse culture, the fact he made something of himself is a thing to respect.  
Do people tire of audio forums?
I agree this forum and others have been instrumental in helping me assemble my dream system. So, as one accumulates knowledge and experience forums less valuable for that, left to passing on that knowledge and experience. At some point one begins ...

845 or 300b with Agalme?
Thanks @grannyring If sound signature of phono similar my chosen parts substitutions should provide exactly what I'm looking for.  
Network optimization for serious streamers
Some have positive experience with audiophile switches, likely poorest performing 'upgrade' ever experienced for me. So, was it particular switch chosen, switches in general, switch in my particular network to blame? I could jump to some overarchi... 
Network optimization for serious streamers
As Charles mentioned one can make this as complex or simple as one likes. I happen to enjoy complexity and experimentation,this isn't a burden for me, and based on many posts in this thread, not a burden for those folks. Experiential learning  hap... 
845 or 300b with Agalme?
@grannyring In regard toThoress, I purchased with possible intention to upgrade caps, resistors. Did you listen to Thoress? If you did, how would you describe flavor?     i'm thinking Texas Components TX2575, Duelund Cast.  
The 300B World
@jimintally Somewhat similar setup in that I drive  Khorns with Volti horns and other mods with custom build 300B's using Acme, no desire to further upgrade with either of these components.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@kishan Usb is optimal port on 005, so streamer with optimal usb rendering would be best on paper. You have very nice system, if funds allowed I'd pick Innuos Statement, Innuous specializes in usb. Other top flight streamers such as Aurender, Anti... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Ok, I have this observation in regard to MU1, look at this internal photo of Grimm, https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/grimm/2/. Now compare this to N20,https://www.aurenderamerica.com/products/n20 Aurender looks far more substantive to me, p... 
streaming and audiophile stereo
Variability of posts on this thread point to the complexity of streaming, so many paths to quality sound. I agree, don't worry about MQA, plenty of high quality streams available without it.   Its been my experience streamer is most important co... 
845 or 300b with Agalme?
With the specs you guys quoted would work fine with 300B. I've had two 845 SET amps, greater impact, authority with 845, 300B more harmonic development, sweeter. I love both tubes, probably can't go wrong with either. Make sure you have high grade... 
Made in USA
All the multinational parts and components that make up my system get along very nicely. If only people could we'd be one harmonious system.
