HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?
OH CALVIN! Will you ever stop shouting?  It's simply rude.  
Are Tubes the "DEI" of the Audio World?
@bigtwin  I must say, your topic is a grope too far for a simple soul such as I.  
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
@OP:  @calvinj Mr. Calvin Johnson, did you initially disclose, prior to starting this (and your other) threads, that you peddle a line of cables? If not, do you not think that full-disclosure is essential to establish your credibility, and avoidi... 
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER?
SOME MIGHT SAY THAT TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH WHILE SOME MIGHT SAY TOO MUCH IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH. Clearly this is a serious conundrum for many.  And  sadly, the audiophile landscape is littered with all too many failed marriages due to unresolved WA... 
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?
"What is a rhetorical question? A rhetorical question is an inquiry that ends in a question mark but is asked for effect rather than to elicit an answer. It’s often used in persuasive writing but is also common in everyday conversation. Dependin...

WHY DO SOME feel the need to SHOUT when they  START THEIR THREADS?

WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?
OP asks what is perhaps the most profound question ever asked here.  It is one which touches upon age-old human behavior far beyond the narrow confines of high-end audio.

No. And goodness knows I’ve tried a lot of ‘em.  10% improvement in some areas in the best case scenarios. If that. And ROI? Minimal. If that.  
Accuphase e260
OP: FWIW, I liked my Accuphase E280 so much that I  very recently moved further up in  the Accuphase integrated amplifier lineup.  I cannot speak about the E260, but can reiterate what I and others have said about Accuphase SQ and build quality. ... 
Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers?
I have an E-800 and it drives both my Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Magnepan LRS+ effortlessly. Mucho, mucho headroom.  With even more efficient speakers, my goodness, you might be able to reach the volume levels of a stadium rock concert! :)  ... 
Accuphase e260
I have an Accuphase E-280.  I find it to be more to my liking than the amp it replaced, which was a Luxman 550AXii.  The build quality of both Accuphase and Luxman is superb.  Accuphase has chosen to offer internal DAC and phono stage as add-on op... 
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
Wells Audio may be just what you're looking for.    
More potential bad news for some big names...
@wswright20  "Thank God the people have spoken!" Any reference to some "supreme being" in the context of this particular president-elect is ironic and absurd.  We are mere mortals and often,  all too often, as the Bard reflected, fools.      
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
Ever since I sold my venerable tube separates i’ve been searching for a "least expensive" or at least moderately -priced ’endgame’ (that’s a rather awful term IMO) After trying various components, too many to mention, I’m now thinking Accuphase C...
