Effects of no ground in wall outlet
If all your equipment is now plugged into one ungrounded outlet and there is not any grounded objects with in arms length of the audio system, imo, it is safer that way than it would be if you installed a dedicated separate ground wire to an isola... 
Sonic Frontiers preamps tube eaters??
I have sold tubes that test strong, and are quite in my pre-amp, but are noisy in another. Those I have taken back and exchanged for another type in order to find the correct match. Dsremer Here is a post from Kevin Deal concerning tube rush nois... 
Sonic Frontiers preamps tube eaters??
I have the line one, I haven't experienced any problems with the pre eating tubes.Jojass402, when you say NOS do you actually mean new, or used? Do you have a tube tester? Do you test the tubes when you receive them? If used, how much life is rea... 
High end stores closing do you really care

What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States?
Angus80808, You will need to reconfigure one of the existing 120V dedicated branch circuits to a 250V dedicated branch circuit. At the electrical panel the 250V branch circuit must be connected to a 2 pole breaker. If the wire is #12 awg and the r... 
What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States?
