Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic

Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA
Just purchased the 518 and only have about 10 hours on it but very impressed with build and sound quality thus far. I went ahead and swapped in NOS Mullard 5AR4 and GE 12ax7s. May swap in NOS GE 6L6GCs after further listening.  
Best tube dac available?
Modwright Elyse - 6922 signal tubes and 5ar4 rectifier (swapped NOS of both into mine) - excellent dynamics

Must be nice to live in an area that a couple of you do where there are dealers aplenty to be able to hear whatever you are interested in. Hell I'd like to have one dealer in Memphis 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Those of you that got the adaptors a few questions: did you order one adaptor or two adaptors per cable the adaptors are being applied to and why? Txs

Where does it indicate that DejaVU builds gear? Maybe I missed it on the site but see gear they sell from other companies? Thanks
