NOS 2a3 tubes
Sounds like a nice system (I'm, jealous:-), good luck on the tubes. 
How would you rate your listening room?
Albert: There was positive talk of Linn in wall speakers a while back which you may want to look into. Linn has a good track record with standard box speakers that work well when positioned close to the front wall, such as the Index and Kan models... 
sometimes you just need to tap your toes
Ears: The choice is easy to make, just put the CD in the player. I only concern myself with the quality of the recording when I am testing gear, otherwise I may complain a little about the sound, but enjoy the music itself all the same. I will adm... 
Album Sides
Rolling Stones, the one with the pizza/cake thing on the front cover (haven't owned it for 15 years), side one. I used to listen to it every morning, while having a bowl for breakfast, in my youth. 
componet/cable burn-in
Hi Swampwalker: Yes, a pair of Homegrown Super Silver's that I had out on loan to Carl and that he put many hours on took on their "new" characteristics when I re-installed them after their voyage. The cables are marked as to the direction of use,...

Sources for Difficult to Find Recordings
My wife just picked up Sandy Bull and Mink DeVille (don't know if those are difficult enough for you:-) at Halff.com and Rhino.com. Then there is Ebay of course. 
Cable problems
Maybe Harmonic Tech Truthlink IC's (around $125/used). I just sold my pair mainly because I use silver most of the time and they were not getting any use, but they were very smooth with plenty of detail. I don't know if you would need to change th... 
Innertube Cone Tweak
Oh Jeez, it hurts to laugh this hard. 
Best Bookshelf Speakers 1500 Used/New
Pete: What happened to the oath that you took? 
Amperage?
Thanks again for the feedback. Kelly, your response clarifies the difference between the 15 and 20 amp PC's that I have seen listed as far as the end pieces are concerned. I have never seen the male of this species and had wondered about the addit... 
cable length
70242: Since you are back and able (and into the numbers of this all). There is talk by certain manufacturers (not all involved in cable) that a certain minimum length is required with some cable and some components to achieve best sound, or signa...
