Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care?
No, I don't care.  And I don't care if you care, either.  Problem solved.  
The best way to start adding A=analog to my system
Real helpful when the "experts" here say you've got to spend $15,000 to get started in vinyl.  My suggestion: get the Rega P3 with a Rega cartridge, build up a record collection, THEN think about a TT/cart upgrade.  Unless you are a gear junkie, t...

I heard a costly system from Esoteric.
If headphone listening is that important, I'm surprised you're not using a dedicated HP amp in the first place.  I'm using my Woo from the tape output of my Luxman; the Luxman's HP jack is for convenience only.  
Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes
"1000 on tubes last week"..."had to be done"?  Hmmm.  I think not.
