Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer
Thanks hdm for the dc cable upgrade option...I always wondered why up grade PS and power cable to it and leave the flimsy pos dc cable.  The cable form Kam Audio sounds/looks like a good option at a good price.  
ordering from China.....which Chinese Tube Integrated at 3k?
I would look at Muzishare...I had an X7($1500ish)..driving 87 db Von Schweikert speakers...and had no problem. But your budget allows something more up the chain...or not. The x7  plus  a nice tube upgrade would be my suggestion.    Skunkie Desi...

Audio Mirror Tubadour V
I have the AMT-5 and dont have any comparison....but Vlad with AM often compares the T5 to the Lampi....not sure which model(Atlantic?) but he states its better.  So it is probably at least a comparable sound signature .    Not to highjack the t... 
Best affordable Linear Power Stage
Good thread..as I am in the same boat. I have been wanting to try a ddc and the Laiv uddc seems logical. In the past had good luck with the Sbooster...but dont want to spend 250-400 on a PS for an $800 ddc....since the ddc is kind of an experiment... 
Audio Mirror Tubadour V - A Few Words of Appreciation
mact3333 I cant give you a comparison...but I can tell you the Tubadour should be in consideration. I don't like to call it warmer...but I'd say just has more ear pleasing  texture with all the detail.  
Mullard EL34 that sounds best
Does anyone have experince with Groove Tubes NOS GT EL34-Ms? Availible through Watford Valves in Great Britain at about $60 per shipped. I heard someone say they are greta and a steal. I have no personal experience.

I tried the Nobsound springs mentioned above...between mt MT cabinet and my bass cabinet...was very pleased with the sound....noticeably better than the Herbie pucks. I had before.  
If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores.....
Great....just threw a couple of her songs on my playlist for later. Very interesting interview. She's been around...never paid any attention to her.  
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
OP if Audio mirror is in your radar...there is a Tub IV Se on usaudiomart for a great price...loving my Tub V....very holographic...an affordable Tube dac...that competes up the food chain a bit.  
Recommendation Tube Integrated
Too bad they dont make an integrated.
