If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system?
I think some lovely restored Western Electric gear would work nicely. And field coil open baffle speakers. And a new bigger room for them! 
Do I need to replace tube socket in my amp?
Sound like that's what happened any competent tech should be able to fix that no problem and you may want it checked over to make sure there are no other issues. I am sure there are plenty of places in LA to get the work done I'm sure others will ...

Buzzing/Loud overtones on Sansui 2000A receiver?

Need to Replace Transport
I would say if @nglazer has that CEC transport in your price range go for it. I've only heard the more entry level CEC and it was magical sounding liquid and relaxed and organic. I can't imagine how good that unit sounds!

Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable
It's a turntable not a museum piece and it exists to be used. Hook it up and give it a listen! Sounds like you made a really cool garage sale score always a great feeling. 
Thad Jones
"Central Park North" kills just finished listening to it, the title track is a wonderfully complex but grooving song! 
Do I need higher quality power cords?
If you like the Isotek, and I'm guessing you do, why not more of their cords?  And buying used is a great way to go tons of used power cords on here all the time. 
Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long
Rhodium takes a seriously long time to break in so hang in there! 
Thad Jones
I knew of Thad as a player but not as a bandleader so this has been great. Listened to some Thad/Mel Lewis stuff and some of Thad's solo stuff. Great music and playing and excellent sound quality across the board thus far. Thanks for starting the ...
