SACD player with variable output.
I believe Accuphase has this. The DCS separates do too.The Shanling SACD player also has a volume control 
Who makes Beautiful / Attractive Speaker Cables?
47Labs OTA cable kit. Practically invisible! 
Looking for best CD or Dac under $15k new.
I owned a Levinson 390S that would be a logical match. The Einstein Last Record Player (!) also might work. The Reimyo gear has been getting rave reviews lately too and is probably in your price range. 
Good tube pre-amp for Rotel 1090 with Thiel 3.5s
You might check out Audible Illusions Modulus. They mate nicely with Thiels. 
Whatever happened to these brands?
I believe DPA is still in business. 
Rectifier tubes?
tomryan,The 274B is most likely a drop in, but there are instances where it is not viable. It comes on quicker than the 5U4. The folks at Sophia can help with that advice. I use a softstart with my stuff, so it is not an issue. 
Rectifier tubes?
You shoulc contact Sophia Electric. They make a 274B solid plate or mesh plate that could be magic in that amp. www.sophiaelectric.comThey are very nice folks too!

I have Sveltes under my 47Labs Flatfish, under my FI Super X amp, and under an Audio Note M2B linestage. They are superb

Storage for Speaker.....One Year
If we had any idea how speakers were stored and shipped before purchase, you would probably put them on the front lawn with a flower pot on top and leave it at that. If you saw some of the basements at certain retailers, you would welcome the mice... 
Old, grainy, bright & financially restricted
You might find the JPS cables to your liking. If you happen to try them, they take ages to break in. They sound wonderful for about 2 hours, then thye get all weird and phasey for about 100 hours,to the point of insanity, and just before you shoot... 
The question "The Acoustat Delema"
I know where there is a TNT 200 for sale for $399.Chris 
Dynaudio Confidence C3 vs. SF Guarneri Homage
