Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@mclinnguy I’ll bite. Some DAC’s are more able than others to withstand poor Ethernet or poor data in? (My house comes complete with poor power and no decent internet untill Starlink.) If you’re complaining my equipment, then of course your’e a ge... 
Concentration
Often I’ll read or (horrors) browse while plopped down for a session. Occasionally a fee puffs of sativa may have occurred too. Often there’s a point where the music is so enjoyable that other activities stop and perhaps eyes get closed. I don’t d... 
glowing red output tube, but don't think it's red-plating
Agree; some great knowledge shared in this one.  Totally tubular.   
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Small update. Been using the Telegartner M12 Gold for several years with an English electric switch. My other system uses a Network Acoustics Muon pro w/ the same switch. I have tried both on each system and can’t hear a difference.  When no “filt...

Got a tube tester? Know someone with one?  
DAC suggestions?
Another vote for losing the MAC. Lot’s on these fora as to why. This will do very nicely.   
Don't try to fix these electrical prolbems with a conditioner!
This is with the stereo playing a bit louder than normal  
When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall?
This is with music playing at a higher volume than normal.  
Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time?
Think is so that thier’s no cheating AG out of thier cut? Ebay takes 13%. I’ll stick w/ AG.   
When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall?
Had a Furman IT Reference 15i and it flattened the sound with an integrated Amp. Went directly into wall and the sound perked up. Got an AudioQuest Niagara with High Current outlets and suffered no sound degradation. YMMV to be sure given equipmen...

Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain
Everyone touts thier gear.  I dig my pre (on system page). An audiophile switch, a flter, (network acoustics, EtherRegen, Jcat etc.) serious Ethernet cable(s) and you will have a big improvement. The key is to treat your digital chain’s parts with... 
Chair
@audphile1 Then a med/small Stressless fits your budget with money left over. They have many models. Don’t know where in the country you are but I went to a Scandinavian Design in Vacaville CA and tired several different models and  ordered the on... 
What is your audio axiom?
Maybe these are not audiophile shibboleths but they work.  Don’t call somebody’s baby ugly.  Every time I find it, I loose it.  Assume nothing! “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” Yogi Berra        
Chair
I also use a Stressless. Got one that has my ears above the back (important). They have different sizes. Given the cost of your system @audphile1 spending on a chair may rank up there as a critical component. It is for me. First chair was above my...
