Which was better? Amazon or Tidal?  
I am no longer getting MQA?
My Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer sounds good with my PS Audio Directstream dac but it no longer decodes MQA. The sound is good and I find the setting for MQA/FLAC on my Aries sounds the best. My Directstream dac will play the upsamles but it sounds ... 
Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac?
The Wel Signature AES/EBU cable is a nice upgrade over the Wireworld. I am enjoying my new sound.   
Abyss ? Luxman 550aii ?
$3500 for a pair of Abyss 1266 Phi TC’s seems fishy to me as they typically sell for more than that. I would be careful. All that said they truly are beautiful sounding headphones.  
Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame?
I love my Hales. They are the one component I will keep. I just had them refurbished and tested and although I told the technician I hired to refurbish my speakers that I was willing to spend up to $8000 to super mod them he recommended to match t...

Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s
I’m loving my Hales and the upgraded crossovers and Seas Millennium tweeters make for a better sounding speaker.  
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
The Keces IQRP 3600 improves the sound very much. I highly recommend it. It is beginning to get recognition worldwide according to the internet. I love mine. It is a large unit being 62 pounds and almost as large as my Pass Labs X250.8 amplifier.  
Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer?
The Keces is amazing. I love it. It improves the sound in every way. Worth waiting for and highly recommended. I now have a much bigger improved system for the Keces. It’s a bit of a monster at 62.6 pounds.

What are some of the better tuners out there?
My MD106T tuner is sounding better with play time on the new caps and tubes. I find that the tuner is settling down nicely and sounds good. I am hoping with the work done on the tuner that the tubes will last longer than before the repair.
