How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades?
@lak I do remember psychic animal. His enthusiasm for the Technics was definitely an influence on my decision to buy a KAB mod’d. SL1210M5G. Another contributor was when I called a dealer to inquire about VPI and he started telling me about a list... 
hooking up subwoofer to 2 channel tube amp
It is also possible to run speaker level connections from the speaker terminals direct to the subs.  Depending on location of the subs, this might allow a shorter run of wire than from amp to subs.   
Mid grade Integrated amp choices
Lots of good suggestions already.  I'll second Hegel.  I have an H200 bought used for under $3K.  The more I have listened to it, the more I appreciate what it brings to the music.  Loads of power too, so your 4 ohm speakers should not be a proble...

Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect
rv - if you've not used Morrow wire previously, just be aware of the long break-in needed (which Mike is very upfront about).  Early on you can think things are sounding great one night and the next night, not so much.  I call it "tizziness"... th... 
Room Acoustics
I'm guilty of not reading your initial post carefully, zedak, and missed the low ceiling.  I have a 7 foot ceiling.  You can of course discuss treatment options for it with GIK or whoever.  During construction, we had Roxul installed between floor... 
Room Acoustics
Another vote for GIK.  I'm a customer.  Call and they will connect you with a consultant.  You can discuss the room's problems and your budget.  Once you are working with an individual, email a schematic of your listening space to serve as a basis... 
No Output from left channel on Primaluna Dialogue HP
If you have a multimeter, you can check the fuse(s) for continuity.   
The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection
@gpgr4blu Absolutely agree with your, "if it was released by anyone else" comment about Dylan's great American songbook-inspired albums.   Stayed up late for his performance on the last David Letterman show; a track from Shadows In The Night (The ... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Amen to what gdnrbob says, though when you aren’t listening, I’d still advocate running signal to the Ygg even with your amp muted. ALSO, let US know if you get that AHA moment! Good luck and hoping even better things are ahead.  
Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?
"Nothing comes close."Implicit: "...because, I’ve heard ALL the others and speak from first hand experience. ""All perceived differences are just due to placebo."Does that apply to the Benchmark DAC3 as well? 
The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection
Thanks for the heads up and great review.  Like the best positive reviews, it makes one want to find and read the book.  Haven't looked yet but am curious when this might have been published first.  The fact that you found it at the public library...

Takeshi Nishimoto - "Lavandula"Generally not a big fan of solo acoustic anything but this recording seems the exception to the rule. Solo acoustic guitar nicely seasoned with subtle touches of electronica. Excellent sonics, sumptuous guitar text...
