Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000
The new Audio Research I-50 is an excellent.  $5,500.  
New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
Thanks to everyone for your input.  It spoke to John Hillig at Musical Concepts and he is really the Hafler upgrade guy.  Lots of experience.  I think I will have them upgraded by John for a second system.  Thanks to BPoletti for the contact.  
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
This stands in sharp contrast to the complete lack of support offered by Roon.  I spent weeks dealing with setup issues with my Roon Rock server that probably could have been solved by a technician from Roon in a 10 minute phone call.  Absolutely ... 
REL T7x or T5x for Small Room
Thanks to everyone for your recommendations.  I went with a pair of the T5x's and I am very pleased with the results.  They add substance to the recordings.  I am working on getting them set properly and just received "Sneakers".

Thanks for all of your input.  Much appreciated!  
Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000
The Octave stuff is stunning.   I will have to investigate further...

Yeah, I think I have given up on resurrecting the Hafler.  It is still using it, but I am not sure how much longer.  Plus, I would like to upgrade sooner rather than later.  I am not sure I want to spend money on replacing caps, etc.

Yes, separates.  I have heard a lot of good things about Van Alstine SET 120 amp.  Priced at about $1300!  I have been coveting the Audio Research I-50 integrated...but it is 4X the price and a different animal altogether.

Thanks to all for your responses.  I appreciate your input. The belligerence from some in response to someone innocently asking questions after having just gotten back into the hobby after 30 odd years is interesting and unfortunate.  
REL T7x or T5x for Small Room
Good to know, thanks!  
REL T7x or T5x for Small Room
I just ordered 2 T5x units.  If ordered through REL you have 60 days to evaluate.  I have a feeling that I will be going with 2.    
Solution for By-Passing Xfinity Fiber-Optic Modem/Router
I am currently using ethernet from the Xfinity gateway/modem.  I am looking to receive a cleaner signal.  I heard of some high end systems that have done this.  
Solution for By-Passing Xfinity Fiber-Optic Modem/Router
The fiber optic cable comes into my house with a SC UPC connection on the end.  My DAC will not allow me to hook up directly and I need some means of getting it in the system.  My options are ethernet or WiFi?
