The Air Tight is in my system and performs well beyond my expectations. The sound is really amazing. 

For tubes, I'm running the GL KT88, Mullard 12AU7 and currently Tungsram 12AX7--deciding if I like them better than the Telefunken. 

I must admit, you were definitely right about the amp.

Your comments on my system inspired me to give tube amps another shot with the Harbeth. I got an ATM-2, should be here by the end of next week. 

I'll let you know my thoughts with the SHL5+ once it's settled in from the trip.

Hi @honeyooi 

Have you done any tube rolling with the ATM-2? 

If so, what tubes did you like?

Great system; it's really hard to beat Harbeth. 

I also like the 30.1 over the C7, the midrange is absolutely amazing on the 30.1.
