Got my DO-200 mkii DAC and balanced cable for the M1570s. Now I'm running a balanced chain front to back.

I see M1570, I upvote.

Close to my "end game". Just need to buy good furniture for my audio equipments, a dust cover, higher quality power cables and power source, a good source that has AES. I'll upgrade the Mojo DAC next year, I heard Ben is making is currently making a DAC to replace the Evo.
What are those cylindrical enclosures for the tubes? Are they some form of tube dampeners or adapters ?

Dust covers, I believe. Vented at the top to let the heat escape.
Like ColSaulTigh said, you could think of it as a dust cover. I think they called it a "protective chimney". It just protects the tubes, makes it easier to ship the amp if anything goes wrong to the US distributors.
Be careful. Depending on the age of your NOS tubes, you may be incubating some unknown alien species in them.. I never thought about that until now LOL. That's too good.

?? (never heard of that)
An especially useful tool if your listening position is off axis. The speaker fires off the signal slightly before or later depending and maybe slightly louder or quieter so that both left and right channels arrive to you at the same time.
With Genelecs this is done in the GLM software. You pre measure and calibrate listening positions. For example you have the "sweet spot" but we can't always sit and listen in the one spot. Maybe you want to listen as you sit on a couch that's way off axis and you have odd distance and angles from your speakers. So you can have 3,4,5,6 different pre loaded listening positions recognized within a room. You've ran room correction tests from these positions. The GLM software algorithms have taken all of these various variations into account and may adjust the time of flight for individual speakers. The software may also bump the dB up or down in a specific frequency to get an even stereo image to the listener. It actually turns many listening positions into many different sweet spots. It's incredibly effective.

Wow, it’s incredible how much tech has evolved over the years. I own the Genelec 1029A (still working fine today) but have not been keeping up with 2CH scene ever since I got into headphones. Maybe time for me to get back in. Thanks for sharing this.
