The Marantz Model 15 Amp
I don't think it will be that much different then the receiver you already have. You don’t need the power of that amp (or your receiver for that mater) with any of the Klipsch heritage line. If it was me I’d find a nice low powered Tube amp, pers... 
Dual speaker system
I have a fiend who runs three set of Quad els's stacked. so he's running them all at the same time, 6 speakers and 6 mono block tubed quad amps. I have to say in his larger room his sound is dynamic and huge with all the detail the ESL's are known... 
Class A Integrated amps
That’s a really nice fisher amp if restored ie.recap etc. I believe its a class A/B amp though. If it was me I’d fully restore that Fisher and have some minor mods done like updated RCA’s and speaker binding posts. in the end its easily sold and y... 
ADS SAT-6
I'd imagine they would be good and have the newer cabinet designs. but do you really need another set of small book shelf ADS speakers, you do have a few already and i don't think your going to get anything different then the L200-L300 etc.  now ... 
What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??
-Spin-clean and similar are probably the best bang for the buck even if they are basic. But you get a lot of performance for the money.  -Okki Nokki gets great reviews and is reasonable for a vacuum machine.  lots of lower priced ultra sonic cle... 
Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment
Kenwood KR-5600 Stereo Receiver: keep and use maybe its a good allrounder but nothing special.  Akai GX-F60R Cassette Deck: sell it, unless you got a horde of cassettes.  AudioControl Ten Plus Series Two Equalizer: sell it SAE 5000A Impulse N... 
mcintosh mc275 mk6 tube rolling ?
I have the same amp and I'm about to tube roll as well. one thing to note if you are using the balanced input the first small signal tube (closest to the input side) is not in the circuit. You still need a tube in there for the tube heater circuit... 
Integrated SET...
I really like the sound and quality coming out of Triode labs / Finale Audio out of Toronto. I've used their 300b amps and 2A3 amps and both were stunning. Personally i like the 2A3 amp better on my horns but both are stellar ( tube dependent i th... 
Let's see your office systems
Sansui CA 2000 preamp Sansui BA 2000 power amp ADS L910 speakers, yeah rather large for near field but those ADS domed midrange drivers spread the sound field out surprisingly well. its like having L910's as headphones. haha  Schiit DAC fed fro... 
Making DC power cable with 3 wires
I'd also look at the connection type there may be a third wire for chasse ground protection already if not just don't use the third wire as long as the individual wires are of sufficient size for the load. Just cut it back out of the way.   
Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many.
coos, I got it from my local dealer here in Victoria, Acoustic Solid has a distributor here in Canada. I would imagine your dealer can access the distributor. I do not remember who the distributor is off the top of my head but its listed on AC's ... 
What's the best EL84 amp?
The Fisher Chassis SA-16, such a surprising little amp from Fisher originally used in a console way back in the 60's.    
Upgrade to McIntosh
I really like the DAC2 board in my C2700, I also have my TV in the same room and the ARC input is a godsent for integration of the TV into my audio system. As for if its better then the DAC1 board I cannot say but everything i read says is an upgr... 
Rank your least favorite. Trying to avoid Al poor purchase.
I owned a pH10 for a couple years and its fantastic for the money and very flexible I compeered it to an entry alnic and audionote level3 phono stage and it held its own against the alnic at three times the cost and was better IMO then the audiono... 
Upgrade to McIntosh
Wolfgang………. Yes many of us buy online. I usually stick with a couple bigger ones. Tube store. Tube depot. Are two I’ve used often enough with no disappointment from either.
