Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega?
@lowrider57 Just skimmed through the rebbi review and one thing to keep in mind he's comparing an 8 watt SET amp, albeit a good one, with the Krell. Your amp, which is a 30 watt PP as I remember would be a totally different animal then the AN amp ... 
Missing the new equipment 24 hour listing
It's been moved to under the Explore dropdown tab, it used to be under the Discover dropdown tab which no longer exists.

Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges ripped CD and enjoy your nak and your cassettes uber! 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
@grinccaffe Welcome and very cool looking system! May I ask who made your preamp/amp combo? Also are you going to be running the H3's and Palladiums both or can you pull the Palladiums out to give the H3's more breathing room?

@uberwaltz Just curious as you're listening to cassettes, which is awesome wish I never sold my Nak (or my gfs cat didn't pee all over my tapes), but don't you stream Tidal? I'm sure most of the stuff you have on cassette you can find streaming. A...

Auralic Altair into Luxman L-450 settings?
Luke yes the Altair will sound best with its volume as close to max as you can get it. 
Vacuum Tube Retailer Option
Very oddly they don't appear to stock 6DJ8/6922 tubes whatsoever. Prices do seem sharp but how long have you been buying his tubes? I was buying Gold Lions KT77's wherever I could get them cheapest and often I would lose a tube within 6 months. I ... 
TRANSPORTER???
So we have a Spreadhead secretly plotting his parents demise in his lust for a reel to reel player? So typical. :p Seriously though the Oppo is a very solid unit and quite flexible. A good starting point for novice audiophile. Cheers!
