Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used?
I of course didn't know that. And it was only a suggestion, there will be other listings. The OP very much liked his speakers with Plinius; it is very possible that in some ways Rowlands or others will sound better. Is he prepared to try a dozen o... 
Tandberg 3014 repair
Soundsmith are Tandberg specialists in the US and they have parts. As far as I know, they only do complete overhaul with alignment etc. Go to their website sound-smith.com and then call them. It is going to cost you if you agree to their condition...

There is a Plinius SA-250 mkiv here on sale for $4888 obo. It is only eight years old. You might want it, I would guess. It is a little more than what you want to spend though.

I gave that black man $10.

I once heard a black man playing sax on Fifth Ave. in Midtown of New York City. Basically it was a neverending blues with a lot of improvising. Technically he was quite good though not great. But the music that was coming out of him was incredible... 
How many enjoy low $ second system sound?

Anyone has a stereo in the barthroom? 
Analog is the new pink
Time to go back to RTR tape and decks and stay there. Vinyl is a mass-market medium too, just better than cd. 
What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp?
I think that power amp is the heart of a system and turntable and speakers are the soul of it.That said, preamp is very important. Cables are important too. 
Where to put my new power cable?
I usually follow the rule preamp first. In any case, give it at least 100 hours to break in.
