OK,
Some of you will know my system, but for those that don't here is is.
It consists of a DIY, Jack Elliano inspired, single - ended, Ultrapath, DRD amplifier. It uses TJ Meshplate PX25s, driven by a pair of NOS General Electric 7044 twin triodes.
Below is a closeup of the amp itself.

The PX25 amp is driven by a preamp based on a 6336A twin triode regulator tube. It is an ugly looking thing that can just about be seen in the left hand compartment of the equipment table.
The speakers are a DIY open-baffle design made out of the cabinet of an old radiogram. Bass and lower midrange is taken care of by a 12 inch Goodmans Axiom 401 and the upper mids and HF arrives at the ears courtesy of a Fostex FE108EZ wide range driver.
Low bass is handled by a pair of active subwoofers positioned behind each baffle and radiating in phase with the rear baffle radiation.
Sources are a Logitech SB3, with upgraded PSU and a Sony CD player. Both of these feed a Beresford DAC, running at 13.5V from a Maplin SMPS power supply. This acts as a digital switching centre for the system.
