coulda been worse.  I woke up one morning to find that I had bought a Cessna 170B the night before!

Elekit TU8600S with upgrades, WE 300Bs.  Paired with McIntosh preamp and Altec Valencias.  Bedroom system.  We used it for background music in the past with a Powernode 2i in the past.  Now it’s an order of magnitude better sounding, fine enough for critical listening.  I absolutely love it, especially with the Altecs.

I bought a HiFi Rose 150B but ended up sending it back.

Paradigm PW Link streamer/preamp with ARC room correction

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 ...
