The digital setup at CAF seemed good but I think the Qualiton amp may not have been quite what was needed. I'm suspecting it used normal diodes for power bridge rectification. In my DIY dabbling, I've found that fast diodes are essential in the bridge for tube amp transient "hardness". So will hope to audition again with a known "fast" amp.

Was the digital server/player used in NYC for LTA a Wolf Audio product? They were allied in the Linear Tube room at CAF, it got me me blank stares when I asked what was being used as a USB connection "decrapifier".
