6H30 replacement
Well astolfor, here’s a post about the DRs from the What’s Best Forum from 11 years ago: 6H30’s--Are the more expensive/megabuck versions worth the money? | What’s Best Audio and Video Forum. The Best High End Audio Forum on the planet! (whatsbes... 
6H30 replacement
Give yourself a little time to adjust to the sound of the new amp. If you still don’t like it, sell it and get something you like. I don’t think different brands of 6h30s will make a big difference in the sound. conrad-johnson tried them once, the... 
Best server to use WITHOUT Roon
Lumin, Aurender and Innuos are all considered top notch server brands and I believe they all have their own controller apps. I can’t say which would work best for you.  
Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed"
Steve, when I listen to the new Dion album, Stomping Ground, on Qobuz the channel balance seems to be set to the left.  It may be that that's the way the album was mixed or it may be that Qobuz got a bad file.  With the millions of tracks they hav... 
Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
Should the buyer expect a pair of speakers as well? After all you can’t listen to an amp without having a transducer, now can you? If speakers came with the amp new, I sure as hell would expect them if I bought the amp and it wasn’t disclosed t... 
Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
I'm with you @gotolondon2, if anything that came with the amps originally, especially something that is required for them to work, is not being included in the sale; it should be disclosed in the ad.  Who wants to buy an amp or amps, wait for them... 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
@garfield01 or @david_ten, Have either of you you heard the T+A MP3100HV SACD player? There was a dealer on the Audio Shark forum who said he loved the 3000 series disc players but felt T+A lost their way with the 3100 series disc players.    
Why People Like Tekton
Here is a quote from Thomas & Stereo (the guy in the video) from the youtube page for this video: "For those people who prefer musical speakers over analytical speakers, these should be consider. Do keep in mind that they are VERY big and you... 
when did it all get so complicated?
How much do you want to spend?  The Bluesound Node 2i is the cheapest easiest way to be streaming like a pro in no time, BUT the DAC is pretty average.  The list price is $600 but I'm sure you could get a discount, or they show up here used pretty... 
Please explain Shunyata Python/Alpha lineup
This might help: Audio Federation - Shunyata Price List It describes the differences between some of the cables you mentioned and that information may help you with the rest.  
PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp?
PS Audio has their own forums, I'm sure you could get many opinions there.  Of course, most would probably be positive.  I'm not complaining about you posting here.  I'd be interested in what others here have to say too.

Best streamers WITHOUT a DAC
Lumin U1 and 432 EVO (that’s a brand from Belgium) are two that come to mind.  
Michael Lang 1944 - 2022
Sad news.  He put on quite a festival.  A reminder to not waste time fighting on the Audiogon forums, or any others.
