Hello,
I am a new member to the DIYAudio.
I owned an Acoustat Spectra 22 since early 90s, it is still with me, the interface has been updated by Mike Burgert, it was a great experience and greatly improved my enjoyment of this old classics.
I drive the Acoustate with Raphaelite CR5687 tube preamp and a custom 829B tube power amp, I am very happy with the result, the sound stage is well layered, and detail is clear and very precisely pinpointed.
Here are some pictures I like to share with everyone.

Hello my friend, you have built a new universe in your home.

The journey in this universe must be magnificent. Welcome.
It took a lot of detours and false beliefs, but I am glad I made this far, I have gone through price is everything, the more expensive gears should bring you the better sound, to devastating low of I am just going to stream music from YouTube, I consider myself in the middle now, with many advices from good audiophiles, in particularly, many of the true believers of classic audio, and keep at it to maintain and rebuild them, I came to the realization that classic audio is good and not necessarily inferior to many of the state of the art. It was a long journey, but I thank everyone's support and help along the way.
Here is a YouTube video link talked about the making of Ralpaelite tube preamp by its designer, I like his fanatic dedication to maintain the tube classic sound, I bought his product part based on his unwavering attitude. The video is in original Chinese, probably needs translation.
