Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state
First of all, I used a Cary SLP-98P for a couple of years but I got tired of the thick, sluggish sound. I now use a 6SN7 Aikido preamp of my own build, very similar to what Don Sachs was providing before he retired from that business and moved to ... 
Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U
I like the same music you do.  If I had to replace my old ProAcs (which I have no plans to do) I would consider Joseph or Fritz.  I heard both some years ago at RMAF and they both struck me as just the right speaker for my tastes.  And speaking of... 
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
Thanks, moonwatcher.  I had a nice chat with Will and he sent me pix of his old board, which is very clearly labelled.  It's pretty much a duplicate of the original board with some spacing changes for the components he uses.  I'm going to send eve... 
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
Well, I believe he's in the Netherlands, so sending the board would be a bit of a pain.  And I'm not sure he could do an exact replica.  But I think if you sent him pictures of the current board so he can see the layout and maybe even the traces, ...

I can see your dilemma.  Let me know if I can be of assistance, even just to put you in touch with this fellow.  He works pretty fast and it would cost a fraction of what you cited above, and far less than buying boards from these other sources in... 
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
I'll second the suggestion of Black Ice Audio.  They're a venerable company (used to be Jolida), they're based in the US and they have very good support.  Their integrated amps have subwoofer outputs.  I haven't heard their Fusion line but a frien... 
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
I’d be more than happy to help, Will. If it’s the original Dynaco circuit, with the original eyelet inputs, I can email him a Dynaco manual and a picture of the original board layout and he can pretty much take it from there. The only data I’d nee...

He says above that he tried theirs and didn't like it.  
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
No problem.  I reached out to the guy, and he'd be happy to help.  It's just a side thing for him, I don't know what he does for a living. ;-)  He put an entire Williamson circuit on a heavy-duty PCB for me, they're terrific boards, better than I ... 
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
"How much does it cost to have a Gerber File made?" It can cost a lot if you go to a professional firm. Plus non-audio people don’t always understand what you need.  Little things like how big the filament eyelets need to be. stuff like that.  An... 
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
Come to think of it, I know a couple of other fellows, veteran DIYers, who I'm sure are quite aware of your work, who also might be willing to help out.  Feel free to send me a PM.  
I need some high quality Printed Circuit Boards Made (DYNACO ST-70)
Will, there's a fellow on another audio forum who designed a PCB for me from a schematic.  He does it for fun and a little bit of money.  It was not expensive, he sent me the Gerbers and I now order the boards from China and they arrive in about a... 
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
@rib61 The bar for defamation is lower in other countries, so it depends on where the suit is filed.  
Chasing distortion
^^^This.  Definitely get it serviced, you're wasting your money right now trying to replace tubes.

Thanks for clarifying that, sleeeepguy.
