@facten That troll posted a link to your system in that Streamer/Dac thread and glad he did I don't think I've seen it before. Love those big Daedelus's, Daedeli maybe? Anyway gorgeous speakers love the woodwork and the ones I've heard at shows have sounded great.

And looks like you rotate between a great tubed integrated and a nice tube/ss preamp/amp combo that's a lot of variety. And a great looking second system too! Thanks for sharing and happy listening!
