Blood Shot Records
@bradf Gotcha and never heard any of their releases on vinyl so can't help you there. 
Blood Shot Records
One of my favorite, sadly defunct, bands The Asylum Street Spankers recorded on Bloodshot, I can't remember which album but it sounded great. I also got a Bloodshot records sampler and thought that everything on it sounded good plus great music. 
Comparing these CD players with my gear...

Audiogon Site Pop-Ups

amp and unwanted speaker vibration
That is by reputation a very good amp you own, to some a classic. I suggest keeping it taking it to a tech getting it looked over and as others have said recapped. You may find its like getting a whole new amp in terms of improved sound quality. T... 
musica bella tube preamp
Based on another 6922 thread just dropped in some Matsushita / National 7DJ8's in my preamp and they sound fantastic. Got them from Upscale Audio $35 each for Platinum Grade. The thread I'm referencing is here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussio... 
musica bella tube preamp
kedoades congrats on your new preamp! And people always say they hear new things because they do! Or at least imagine it :)  As far as tube rolling goes good advice to hang in for a while let your tubes burn in a bit and get used to the sound. Wha... 
6922 Tubes!
Got my tubes today thanks Upscale and USPS for super fast shipping and delivery! Installed and fired them up about 45 minutes ago, right off the bat I'm getting greater transparency, a bit more airy high frequencies without brightness, and a touch...

jeffrey75 thanks for coming back and clearing that up and I read your post before you deleted it and thought it was fine. But I understand your reluctance to mix it up being new. Bob stop replying to this thread and make more cables! Faster! :p
