If attending Capital Audiofest 2018, can you provide your review of the Ohm F-5015s
The least impressive system I have has radial speakers and they are my wife’s favorite. 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I agree with @grannyring I have the Tekton DI SE and love them. With you’re room size the Encore would be perfect. 
Which EL34 is your favorite and why?
I also like the Amerex/Holland brown-base EL34 if you can find them. I also have a quad of British NOS Genelex KT77. 
Where is my digital problem: taste, vinyl v. digital, DAC, realities, etc?
@jbhiller,On the bright side you have the same TT and cart that I have and it is a very very good analog combo. A well recorded piece of vinyl is just heaven. You could spend a great deal of money to get your digital end there but maybe not. I agr...

Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@olesno and @waltersalas The Graphene Extreme speaker cables are the absolute best cables in that price range, giant killers and I have tried many. The Matrix now resides in my entire system. No regrets. 
Another New Member Looking for Advice (preamp and speaker setup)
Go to the show! There are plenty of audio shows around the country. Rocky Mountain is right around the corner. I’m looking forward to CAF next month. Spend the whole weekend listening to different amps. 
Is pre-amp getting killed?
I just got the Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamp and it is a killer unit. I run my DAC to it and it has made my system better. 
Tekton Double Impacts
I did trade my original DI’s for the DI SE. The deal went well and I am very happy with the DI SE. The sound is incredible.

@skernes Nice review. Wow. I haven’t even tried my headphones with it yet. It makes my LTA UltraLinear amp sound so good I’m stuck listening to my speakers. Time to try it.Lance
