Considering the BMR Philharmonic Monitor speakers
I heard them at Capital Audiofest and was very impressed.  I'm considering buying them for a second system.  
12au7 tube?
I use NOS 12SN7 with adapters in place of 12AU7's in my Backert Labs preamp. They are superior to the 12SN7"s.  
R2R next? Don't like ESS
The LTA Aero is the last DAC I will ever need to buy.  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
no_regrets I use a Roon server and Sonore ultraRendu Network Streamer with LTA LPS Quboz, Roon. I’m not concerned anymore about DSD. The PCM sounds like DSD to me. Incredible.  
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
A few of us brought our DACs to Dave Raden’s for a blind shoot-out. We had a lot of fun, and this was more difficult than I had thought. Only Dave Raden knew which DAC was playing, and his switchbox worked well for this. Among the contenders were ... 
TAD Speakers
The TAD ME-1 are the best stand mount speaker I've ever heard or owned.  
New Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifer
Zomble, I no longer have the Mirror Image Audio amp. I wished I still had it. It sounds like you a good set up.  
What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier?

Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver
The best stand mount speakers I’ve ever owned was TAD ME1.   
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
I've had the Aero for about a month, and it is more than I could have hoped for. At first, I was a little concerned about the limitations, but I only listen to PCM, and it sounds great with a USB cable. It's almost unbelievable how good this thing... 
Is It Worh Modding An Amp
In most cases, it's probably not a good idea. I definitely wouldn't touch it if it were still under warranty. I got a pair of 60's vintage ALTEC 1570B mono blocks and had them modded using Tom Tutay's mods. These mods made a considerable differenc... 
Digital vs Analog experiment
@audioman58, I agree with you; the LTA power supply is the best I've tried. I would also point out that the new LTA Areo Dac sounds incredible and affordable. Now with that said, my DS Audio Grand Master cartridge and integrity tone arm makes my v... 
Discrete R2r With Tube Output
@glennewdick  I just got that LTA Aero Dac and its incredible. Excellent resistor chip and there's no beating a David Berning tube stage of power supply.  
Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@mesch, I'm using a ZOTL40 and a Backert Labs Rythm 1.4 preamp.  
Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
I picked up my Aero DAC yesterday, and even though I have about 100 hours left on the break-in, I am overwhelmed by the rich organic sound I’m getting. There is no sign of anything sounding remotely digital. Just wow!
