A power cable upgrade - helped fill in sound stage / added sense of power, and a shiny new Xeon processor for my now dedicated streaming PC.

A real - whoa ... whoa ... whoa - moment. Going from a powerful Laptop with good sound - tone / detail to more defined soundstage / bass / detail - hi thru lo - but the sense of power is remarkable. Between the power cable and chip it seems like I also gained ~ 15 db in headroom ... the brute force of the added 12 cores is unmistakable.

I for one would be interested in how the dedicated streaming box @sns develops ...

Today 9/23 I purchased a McIntosh MA 352. It’s not replacing anything. I just wanted to own a Mac piece. I am keeping my Pass 250.

SVS SB300 subwoofer. I just got it today it’s not even set up.  I just now downloaded the app. I did plug it in and try it. Pretty good so far. It does need adjustment though. It replaces a Focal sub6. 

Second pair of KEF R3 speakers, which I intend to configure as a line array with my existing pair and dual Martin Logan 1100X powered subs with ARC.
