Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy?
Tape worked well for mine.  
Higher Efficiency Speakers
@rodge827 - Those speakers look great! I use Omega HO with a SET amp and it's magical. How does the sensitivity increase w the Charney utilizing the Omegas RS7 driver vs an Omega with the RS7 driver? I am genuinely curious.  
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I listened extensively to the LKV Research Verito-1 and it is an excellent integrated amp based on the Hypex NCore. LKV also offers a stand alone power amp. Check them out!https://www.facebook.com/LkvResearch/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARCfxvDUlp14H2bLZ... 
Rogue audio amp thoughts
Sphinx is a great sounding integrated all around. Get yourself a nice turntable too!  
Tube info
NOS RADIOTECHNIQUE 12AU7, very dynamic tube. I am liking what I am hearing with new production tubes at a fraction of the cost.

Pro-ject Carbon DC Esprit / upgrade to Ortofon 2M Bluehttps://www.needledoctor.com/Pro-Ject-Debut-Carbon-Esprit-DC-BlackLounge Audio Phono Prehttps://www.loungeaudio.com/lcr-mr-iiiMy good friend has this setup, and for 1K all-in, this thing plays ... 
Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline
I had to do a little trouble shooting with mine, cover off, and mentioned to KeithI was taking the opportunity to roll some tubes. To make a long story short, no, NOS tubes could compete with his stock tubes 😊

my herron vtph-2a had the same effect on my better half! 
Dynavector 20x2L pretty dog gone good
I think it’s a dog gone good cartridge too. On a VPI traveler, no mat, and mostly no record weight either. happy listening! 
Break in blues
jtfc - I use these Mullards, cheap enough. https://www.upscaleaudio.com/collections/preamp-tubes/products/mullard-6201-vintage-british-new-old-...The 12sn7 it ships with are really good! I always keep the PS "on."

That MZ2 takes a few weeks to really hit its stride. Hang in there, it is worth it. Linear Power Supply? 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
My omega speakers sound very full at 50db 
New preamp in system
Kw6, MZ2 with switching or LPS? I swapped Mullard 6201 in mine, which was great, but not as impressive as switching from switching to LPS.  
Best bookshelf speakers
I'll second the Nola Boxers, they are excellent!My first choice.... Omega Bookshelf Speakers and a SET amp for ultimate musicality. 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
David, and where would you place that fuse? Pre amp or amp?
