Hi Wc65mustang,What speaker system do you use presently?Thanks! 
Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?
Try a c-j 17LS2!Good Luck!*>) 
Whick system is better for 70K retail?
Which ever you choose include a c-j pre like 17LS/LS2 or ACT2. Delivers the musical goods! For a cd player try a Linn Unidisk 1.1. Good Luck!*>) 
You might be an audiophile if...
the power cord attached to your amplifier cost more than your amplifier!I couldn't resist!*>) 
You might be an audiophile if...

Hi Wc65mustang,I'll be auditioning Quad 988/989 hopefully soon myself.Did the 989 have a taller soundstage compared to the 988 so you don't have to look at the performance?My concern would be if images have body like good cone speakers like Living... 
Tube integrated for ProAc 2S
Try a c-j CAV-50 approx. $1400 used.Good Luck! 
$5-600 tube preamps:CJ,AR,SF,etc..
In that price range you are better off going with the Wright as mentioned above by Armstrod. BTW I am a c-j fan. Or try to find a used Quicksilver pre $700.Good Luck! 
Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.?
I agree with the above, c-j pres using the trickle down technology of the ART are simply musical! 
Acoustic Treatments recently advertised on Stereop
Could it be ASC (Acoustic Sciences Corporation) tube traps.I highly recommend them!Good Luck! 
CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7
Hi Schorly,If it must be music! I have a pre-amp recommendation for you to audition: conrad-johnson ACT2.Good Luck!

conrad-johnson is pretty good!Also Cardas cables.
