    wondering where you found the table

    It's a Topping acrylic rack sitting on top of Bluecell isolation feet. The rack you can get on Apos and the feet on Amazon.

    That Nixie amp is a hybrid using an STA540 IC amp as the output stage and those EAM86 tubes are just a light show. I wouldn't compare it to the Tubecube. Totally different animal.

    Low powered tube amp, potential damage?

    this is definitely not just a headphone amp as suggested.

    I have both the MP-301 first generation and the MkIII.

    I discovered the original Mp-301 through Headfi.org, so yeah it was touted as a headphone amp initially.

    I think the later versions are used primarily as speaker amps. 
    I have used both amps in various combinations with Heresy I and IIIs and Forte Is, all combos sounded excellent and played plenty loud with no audible clipping.

    Radio Paradise....Bluesound Node 2i

    Here are some more flac radio channels. These can be plugged into almost all software players or even browsers, so you don't even need a streamer per se. They all sound great and the programming for the most part is very good too. No metadata on the Naim channels though.

    I have not read of it doing MQA, but when I'm playing MQA music streams on Tidal,  the Dac shows 96kh in its little window,  so I assume it does.

    If a product is MQA capable I'm sure the manufacturer will say so.

    They must pay a licensing fee to Meridian Audio to include it in their products. They are not about to keep that a secret.

    I remember ordering the regular badges from Klipsch parts dept when they were only $2.22. I ordered extra for my Cornwalls so they could be badged naked and clothed. The prices nowadays are indeed crazy.

    I'm tempted to pull these off and replace them with fakes.😁

    When I bought my Heresies new in '77 I remember asking the salesman if he had any with the PWK logo, no he said, "Sorry, this is how they come now." I was a little disappointed. Turns out they're rare and worth beaucoup bucks now. I guess they were CNC laser printed. I never fully appreciated them until now, they actually are really quite nice. 44 years and I really never took a good look at them.
