This is sad news indeed. I wouldn’t have know if not for this thread  
How would you spend my next $5K?
A second sub made a huge difference in my room so that would be my recommendation   
Not enough outlets
If you go with a strip take a look at the Wiremold L10320. It is/was the only power strip recommended by Naim. It has no power filtering, no on/off switch and no breaker. It’s just a well made extension with nothing in the way which is what you wa... 
Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact?
I went back and forth experimenting with tubes in a little Japanese 300b integrated amp in this case the small 12v tubes definitely made a bigger sonic impact on the sound. There was a very big gain in the bass region

A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
Thanks for the link. Will definitely check it out. Happy holiday season to you   
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?

New Pass Labs Go To

Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
If it were me in your situation, I know I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t buy the Daw’s. Especially if it’s a great deal. I would also be looking into room treatment to get the most of them  
Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged?

@recklesskelly every single one of those hybrid units you’ve mentioned has a compromise in functionality (except maybe the McIntosh) compared to my Audio Research/Pass Labs combo. Whether it be limited balanced inputs, no balanced ht bypass , no w...
