Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
I owned a Raven Reflection MK2 integrated amp.  I never ever needed to turn the power on past 11am. I had KT 150 tubes in it and with Dave Thomson's help I did a lot of tube swapping for different musical moods and tastes.  Raven is an awesome Com... 
DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc)
It is too bad your budget wasn’t a little higher. I am selling my Lumin X-1 on USA Audio Mart. I have had the Lumin D-2, A-1 and I currently have the U-1 mini and X-1. X-1 is the flagship for the Lumin Brand. I can tell you from experience that ea... 
rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on?
For me solid state never turn off.  For tubes turn off after usage.  I have 16 300B tubes in my mono amps alone plus another 8 rectifier tubes.  That can add up in my mind.   
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Just ordered 6 helix Power Cords after reading this thread including one for my Sony Video Projector.  I sure hope these are as good as advertised and my last PC purchase.

Replacement for 802 D3s

Lumin T2 vs X1 - How big is the sound difference?
I had the D-2, A-1 and now X-1.  Major Major sound difference between them all.  I have just ordered the U-1 mini for a secondary DAC for my theater room.  I lovethe X-1 but am selling mine as I just ordered Lampi Pacific.  I just wanted a tube DA...
