TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
I am fortunate to own the TAD Ref 1 for a little over 4 years now.  During this time I have many friends that have brought their preamps, dacs and amps over to evaluate the sound and the TADs have sounded well with all the equipment.  Most equipme... 
Lampizator Atlantic?

Berkeley Alpha DAC 2 - Filter & Volume Setting
By leaving it 55, if you play an HDCD, you will have about 6 Db of more headroom for improved dynamics. This is what BAD told me when I asked the same question. 
Amp recommendations...
At the last Stereophile show in Los Angeles at LAX several years ago the Ayre mono amps with the Vansdersteen 4's was one of the best sounds at that show. Very impressive sound. 
Convergent Audio CAT JL3 tube biasing/manual
