Recommended tubes for LTA Preamp
When I had an LTA integrated with a preamp section, I contacted Brent Jessee at tubes.com for his recommendation.  I told him sort of what sound I was looking for and he gave me great advice.   
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
I stream from my PC to a DAC and then my amp. I looked at posts from this site saying how great streamers were and bought an Aurender N20 with a T+A DAC 200. I had each of these set up on different inputs into my amp and was able to switch quickly... 
Open baffle speakers
I've always thought that open baffle and planar/ribbon speakers have a sound that either attracts you or not. It is an open transparent sound that got me instantly. I am very happy with my Spatial Audio Lab X5s which I consider my endgame speakers.

Audio Cables: All the Same?
I don't know if the difference in cables would hold up to ABX testing for most people. I initially thought that there was no difference in cables but tried a couple of expensive but not too expensive (under $1,000) cables and heard what I believe ... 
As I get older...
When I experimented with Class D, I found that the KEF LS50s (Meta in my case) absolutely loved Class D and brought out a range I had never heard before from these speakers. However, the Class D amp didn't play well with my main speakers so I didn... 
Class D Audio
I bought his (Tom's) Ganfet Class D amp as an experiment. It ran into some trouble and I communicated with Tom and demonstrated that I had tried all combinations to make sure it was the amp which was the problem. He took it back, no questions, and...
