Best integrated amp for about 2.5k

recomending power to speakers
Try the 4 ohm taps first before you throw money at it. You also might have the amp checked out depending on its vintage as tube amps do require periodic service to replace caps, tubes, and so on.I used a Levinson 27.5 with Thiel 2.2 CS speakers an...

Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what?
I have both the Dynavector DV20XH and a Shelter 501 11. The Shelter is clearly better and I note some of the same improvements as noted in the original poster of the ZYX over the Dyna. Having said that the Dynavector is an excellent cartridge for ... 
300b vs 845
Assuming the amps are of similar quality you will have more power with the 845. All things being equal expect the 845 to be more expensive simply due to the larger chassis and transformers required. The more power you get the more heat the amp wil...

More Line Inputs Needed
47Lab makes an excellent product called the chooser.Decware also offers a switching box which I would assume to be of higher quality than what you can acquire from Radio Shack (might want to try one since they are throaway cheap).Creek offers a ni... 
Can I install a new arm on this old table?
Rather than; spacers I would suggest a nice VTA adjuster. The best one does not require the arm to be removed to change the height (as in with spacers; major PITA). 
noise thru tube pre??
This also shows the importance of a chassis designed to absorb resonances and not pass them to the tubes. Most units use folded sheet metal which is inadequate. Very few preamp manufacturers, except for the Very Expensive ones, use correct chassis...
