Triode TRV-845se - 20 watts SET valve amp and Living Voice Avatar OBX speakers
Meitner MA1 DAC and spare Ayre K-5xeMP pre amp and Albarry M608 monoblocks
Very sweet set up there.
Source: Heavily modified DDDAC using MacBook Pro.
Amplification: Pre amp-Stereo Coffee pre amp on steroids.
Power amp- Rather large Colin Wonfor Class A power Amp
Speakers: Lampizator P17 Open Baffles
Accessories: Klotz 500 DIY Interconnects & DIY speaker cable sounding better than anything commercial.
All powered from a Mother Trucker BPS with a dedicated consumer unit with 10mm armoured radial back to the house tails after the meter.
Lovely finish on those speakers.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

Ooo - a Meitner DAC - nice, you very rarely see those. Said to be very special.
Impressive and interesting amp, too.
LVs are a Marmite thing.
What source(s) do you use?

I've only had the Meitner for a couple of weeks and I'm really liking it. If I get a room, I'll be using it at Scalford.
I'm currently using a Cyrus CDT but I also have a Perreaux CDt and Bel Canto CD3t but they are a bit temperamental. I've got a NAS and am going to get a streamer in the next few weeks.
Nice, very nice
If there is a pre-amp in on the amp, try your Ayre into it, you might be surprised by what you hear.

Nice Triode TRV-845se. I've been toying with the idea of those or their KT88 monos. Are you able to compare them with any other power amps?
