EL84 Tubes for Glow Audio Amplifier
If you aren't interested in punishing the Russians I can highly recommend the Gold Lion EL84s. 
Tandberg 3001, 3002, 3003

Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner.
Second the recommendation of the BlueSound Node 2i. It's easy to set up, works with a broad range of sources and sounds good. You can improve the sonics by using an external DAC rather than the one internal to the Node 2i but that can be a second ... 
Analog to imac
Since you have a Shiit preamp one of the Shiit DACs between the iMac and the preamp should work fine. Or any DAC with a USB input that you prefer, any DAC will have analog output that can be connected to the Freya. 
Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it

Any audiophiles into motorcycles

Any audiophiles into motorcycles
First bike was a a Honda 350 Scrambler bought around 1969. I rode it back and forth to work and around the Texas Hill Country for a couple of years. Sold it and had a beautiful single-cylinder Ducati 250 briefly but it didn’t take long to learn I ... 
Help connecting a source directly to an amp
Every iPhone since the iPhone 5 introduced in 2012 has a Lightning connector rather than a 3.5mm stereo connector. If it does have the Lightning connector there is an Apple adapter that would allow you to use the 1/8" to XLR cable that noromance s... 
Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations

I would second djones51's recommendation of the NHT Super Zero 2.1. You can get a pair at amazon.com for $225. 
And now it's Denny Freeman.....
For a long time during the 70s, Hut's Hamburgers on W. 6th St. in Austin had Angela Strehli every Wednesday night with Denny Freeman in the band. That was where we went as soon as we got off work late in the evening. There's a wonderful version of...
