Sophia Electric KT88-ST impressions
@dmhenley  thanks for posting your impressions. If anyone hears the Sophia Electric EL34's myself and several others here are eager for feedback. 
Primare DAC 30
Sorry I don't understand your post at all, both outputs are 4.3V so what is the 2v output you are referring to in your post? 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I will say the Audio Magic stuff sounds like a bunch of jargon filled marketing crap, but at least they have the honesty to say their beeswax fuse has a very organic "flavor"  :P 
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

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

Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Bob congratulations and I wish much happiness to you and your lovely new wife! Enjoy your well deserved time off! 
Luxman SQ-N100 noise
If the line direct button bypasses the preamp tubes and sounds fine then yes it is very likely a failing preamp tube or tubes. The tube types you need are easy to find and can be replaced fairly cheaply I would recommend replacing them. 
6922 Tubes!
Just ordered 6 of the National Matsushita 7DJ8 platinums from Upscale should be here next Tuesday. Excited to see how they sound!
