Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback
chauncey OP Did you buy half track tapes? that's two tracks forward, wider tracks, twice the magnetic material for signal than 4 track's narrower tracks. The deck would need to have 1/2 track heads, cannot play 4 track. 15 IPS, is similar to wi...

Like Wood: At $4,500, I would research this DD model

I would not take a chance, like others said, for a first delve into tubes, ..... what other equipment will be involved? Those speakers are only 87db sensitivity. .30 wpc is NOT enough, SS or Tubes. For now, perhaps think Tube Preamp into Solid ... 
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?

Analyzing DACs
DAC, Phono Stages: I suggest you buy from a source that accepts returns.   
Where to spend my money...
I would keep that TT, and add additional uni-pivot arm wands, with alternate cartridges ready to go. Jazz: there are lots of excellent sounding Mono LPs when so many of the greats made their reputations, so an arm wand with mono cartridge ready to...
