peachtree gan 400 is very good
Yes, if you want to try another flavor of GaN, better to try the Orchard Audio Stereo Ultra.  
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
Unfortunately, the OP is largely lacking in demonstrable credibility.  He obviously is acquainted with the designer, and we know nothing about the nature of that acquaintanceship.  As it is, the OP's post reads more like a puff piece than anything... 
Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme?
As this thread is about tube makes and models that do especially well in Backert preamps, I'm going to reiterate my recommendation of the--admittedly rare and costly--Amperex 7316.  This is what Brent Jessee has to say about them. Simply an amazi... 
Commonly mentioned speaker brands?
Some expensive brands get mentioned on A'gon quite frequently, like Wilson or Magico.  Other expensive brands with much less frequency, e.g. YG, Estelon, Kharma.  I've always assumed each of the several audio forums had their own culture, with the... 
Electric cars will ruin late night listening?
The Shunyata Hydro Charging Station.  Now there's a concept.  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?

Upselling? If you get the Wilsons, you'll end up changing out everything else in your system. Have you heard the Totem Wind's?

Net weight or shipping weight?  As you mention they come in a crate, or two crates, the crate probably weighs more than the speaker itself.

I don't understand why the Nuprime transports get so little love.  There are several models to choose from, and they're sold by Audio Advisor, so easy to get and no initial risk.  
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
It's my understanding that the issues that contain the Recommended Components section sell off the newstand in much higher numbers than the other issues.  They're bought by people looking for a quick fix and have decided to take a step up from Con...

Didn’t George Cardas invent years ago a new kind of microphone that was going to completely "revolutionize" recordings?  
Tweaks, money pit or real value?
When you look at the cost of a lot of so-called tweaks these days, better to deny yourself three or four of those, save the $$ you would have spent, and then treat yourself to a nice new component, which won't cost any more than that.  
Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt
Here you go. https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/products/gan400 Though you'd be better off looking at Cherry amps and Orchard Audio amps.  
Linlai 12AU7 ????
That's the conclusion I came to.  On their site Linlai seem to implicitly endorse Psvane 12AU7's.
