Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply
http://www.acoustic-dimension.com/jensen/jensen-4-pole-capacitors.htmJensen do make the 50uf 550v, you can integrate it with your circuit.  I assume that this is the first cap on a clc designs.  Pm me if you have any questions.   
Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply
Alex....since you are using a 4 poles type electrolytic caps.   The Clarity tc series are ok.  I strongly recommend the Jensen 4 poles.  In the 4 poles series ( Mundorf, Clarity, F&t, BHC, Sprague) the Jensen 4 poles IMHO is the best  electrol... 
Stockfisch Records & audiophile music labels

Jbl Project Array 1400 vs dynaudio c1 speakers
C1 are great speakers.  My suggestion is to change the Mc 601 out to a Plinius, better dynamics/transients.   Not to say Mac gears are not great;  your mc601 and Dynaudio is not a good match.  You definitely need more dynamic headroom & lots o... 
Best electrolytic capacitor
Audionote electrolytic is super nice, the midrange is mesmerizing!  For power supply filter caps, The Jensen 4 poles in my opinion is the best for electrolytic for tube amps.  I strongly recommend the 500v, better in dynamics and transient.   I li... 
Who has the best midrange 2A3 or 300B ?
Get the Rogue Cronis Magnum; can run in pentode or triode mode.  I Would not run that speakers with triode amp ( 2a3 or 300b).  To answer your questions; no doubt 2a3 is more of an even sounds ( highs, mids and bass).  The 300b tubes will be a bet... 
300B SET or EL34 SET
i honest think it’s more of the designer; how it was built and not the tubes itself.   Comparing apples to apples; 300b will for sure sound better in triode compare to el34 but if you are looking for power and low efficiency speakers than el34 wou... 
Atma-sphere Updates
Not really!  From personal experiences and personal opinion, i honestly think his stuff are misrepresented. I want to add a few notes on this. I personally have his top of the line preamp, the mp1 mk3.3. i have to say it’s an excellent unit. The o... 
Aesthetix + AtmaSphere
fyi...something to consider; the Mp1 can only be run in balanced configuration No Expections!  
Aesthetix + AtmaSphere
twodolphins... for sure the mp-1 is in a different league.  Another vote for the mp-1 mk3.3.  To me it’s one of the most versatile, an all around preamp in one package.   
Using Solar battery for DAC and Pre-amp
Using Lithium might be convience, due to being light & portable and has a capability to last longer.   In my experiences using DC,  I feel AGM deep cycle type battery will give you a better choice in dynamic and transients.
