Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question
Contact Kristen at Modwright, she has a list of recommended NOS tubes. I settled on a Amperex Bugleboy 5AR4 and a 1950's Mullard 5AR4. Brent Jessee and Vintage Tube Services are two good sources.

Credenza or media stand for hiding away equipment
I had mine built by a cabinet maker. The first shelf is open for the integrated amp. The rest of the shelves (adjustable) are hidden behind a door with a perforated black panel.      
Finally got a Luxman
I have the same Luxman Integrated, got it about five years ago on closeout. It's a great amp and was in my price range.

If you get the P3, go straight to an Exact 2. Skip the Elys cartridge.
