Who would like to see a "Tube" section
There is a lot of mislabeling in the tube market. In addition, they need to be checked if they are NOS and even matched (like drivers) for best performance. I agree that it is risky to buy tubes from ebay or unknown sources. I am sure that some ha... 
Preamp mods/Why capacitors?
This has been talked almost to death at some sites. I suggest you go to the audioasylum DIY forum and do a search under "capacitor". No need to reinvent the wheel here.The classic thought on the subject dating from 1980 by Messrs. Jung and Marsh i...

Running CD-Player Directly from Amp
I think the sound quality depends on a few things such as the design of the output stage of the player and the output impedance. Can't really make a general statement without more info on the the player and amp you ara trying to match. There is a ... 
"tube" cd players?
I like the Heart players for the $$$. They modify a Marantz player. The US distributor is www.fsaudioweb.com if you want to take a look. I'm not great at using all the adjectives to describe sound but I like it and if you generally like the sound ...

What does a pre-amp do?
Jondon: I did not fly spek your system but as noted above by Ljgj a pre amp is probably not the first way to go for a tweak in your system. I will say one thing more about a preamp though if for future reference only. An audio system does work. El...
