Qobuz vs Tidal
Will, sorry about your eyes....hope you get this condition greatly improved. I've done Tidal and Qobuz....I prefer Qobuz for sound quality and I'm not an MQA fan nor do I care for Tidal's "hip hop" emphasis. If Spotify comes around to High Rez, I'... 
How long could it take
have you considered US Audiomart? It reminds me of the "old" Audiogon....I've sold many items at USAudiomart. 
Shall I move away from Devialet ??? where to go?
Congrats on the T2, it's a super piece of gear. I've had mine about 18 months. 
Ethernet Cables
just make sure they are shielded. CAT6 is fine. Monoprice has decent quality at very affordable price....I use Audioquest Cinnamon between my router and modem and router and streamer. I have a Monoprice between my router and server also. 
Pass Labs 30.8 or Clayton Audio S-40
If resale means anything to you, PASS is a good way to go. There's always a demand for Nelson's gear. 
PS AUDIO Stellar M700 Mono Amplifier?
I briefly (less than a year) dipped into Class D waters with the S300. I found it excelled in detail retrieval and dynamics with decent sound staging. It was not my cup of tea ultimately. I found the sound did not have the natural tone and dimensi... 
Tube amp - tube socket problem
It probably is the tube 
Too good a post to waste
Chuck,I never liked Hirsch because I could hear sonic differences he claimed he could not show in measurements. He had no credibility with me. BTW, I recently went to a Triode Wire Labs loom and my system took a good leap forward; pretty much like... 
WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era?
Uberwaltz, I was just responding to the OP. I was not knocking anyone’s choice of playback hardware. I don’t use vinyl anymore either and was an early adopter of computer audio. I totally respect your choice to access music the way you like, altho... 
WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era?
I owned an expensive Nakamichi and that was SOTA. Perpetual head cleaning and realignment, plus the tape wears out. Old tech I'm happy to no longer use. 
Tube rolling on Leven CS 600
a great 6L6 family tube is the Tung Sol 7581A....my experience with the Gold Lion KT77 is terrific tone, detail and soundstaging but deficient in the mid and upper bass. The 7581A has stellar bass while being a very transparent bottle. 
Albert Von Schweikert Has Passed Away
I spoke with Albert once about one of his designs I purchased and still use....a decent man....RIP 
Tekton Design Enzo 2.7 or Lore? Help me decide.
Dtapo, if you go with Tekton would you let us know what you bought and your thoughts after they settle in? 
Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano
I don't own Pass but from what I've read, isn't the consensus that after market power cords don't do much for the sound? Hasn't Mr. Pass commented his amp designs and "build" don't need an aftermarket cord? Pass owners will chime in I'm sure, I'd ...
