Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
Glad to read/hear it, and... I told you so (regarding the sub;-).   DeKay

jperry: The USA rebuilders I Googled charge $450-$650 plus parts (figure an additional $200-$250 for there/back shipping). As mentioned, the deck first and then what's leftover for the tonearm. The OP has a functioning base, which is fine to ge... 
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
Never mind - it's an auction (thought is was a "buy it now") and the reserve seems high for a used deck.   DeKay  
Bizarre question. Please bear with me.
Go to hifishark.com and perform a search. They list listings from many sources (including A'Gon).   DeKay

my 1000 dollar speakers and million dollar speaker stands
I wasn't kidding about the footers linked above (in the deleted thread I recommended 1/2" rubber walking cane tips as the OP was looking for better footers). This second thread reminded me that I forgot to order replacement rubber tips for my can...

I was just kidding (think they delete mundane threads). However, while we are here once again - check these babies out. https://www.amazon.com/ZRM-Billiards-Protection-Billiard-Accessory/dp/B094CB5T2K/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1LUYNN8WJW2JN&keywords... 
What is a good turntable preamp under $500?
Replace the TT and keep the phono preamp for now. Take a look @ Grislybutter's new thread for a TT pretty much in your price range.   DeKay

I need advice on a 300b tube
You could try reflowing the solder in the tube pins (how to videos on Youtube), but you would then want to test the tube in a decent tube tester (NOT the amplifier). I my old Audion DH/SET 300B amplifier and my current Bottlehead DH/SET 2A3 ampli...

I think that a derogatory comment about David Tennant got it closed down and/or the Coolhand Luke jokes. Got to be one and/or the other.   DeKay

If $600 is doable look at the Project Carbon EVO (comes with cartridge and the footers allow leveling).   DeKay  
Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage
Will there be a customs problem with the speakers in checked luggage/carry on? If so, then perhaps the dealer can recommend a Canadian shipping service adept with customs forms. DeKay  
Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes
OK, the AN uses them in a gain stage (interesting DAC/power supply that I recall researching @ some point). So, assuming that they still test well I would definitely try them out in the preamp as they are fairly durable tubes. This said, they (a...
