The Preamp has very desirable features. I might consider it great value, inexpensive, but not cheap.

 

the tube amp appears well built, evidently maker has good reputation

I’ll presume the speakers perform well in the space.

I would go for more power, to deal with instantaneous needs.

 

this is why using stereo amps that can be bridged as mono can be a good choice. Of course from a brand likely to be readily available.

Turntable: I do not like ANY of these turntables with tonearms that lack removable headshells. However, who knows, for some a single darn good cartridge, especially factory aligned might be best.
