How to best isolate TT from vibration?
If you don't WALL mount it ,you'll just be spinning your wheels. SYSTEMDEK XII MUST be wall mounted 
Best Sounding EL84 - 7189
Depends what YOU like - Listen to them. BTW- restorations do not neccessarily sound better than the originals then again they may sound better...Try the Eico hf-12 & the Scott 222 for starters 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
Fraziers and Vita vox speakers and of course BOZAKS -ALL AMAZING! - if you can find them . Some Sansui sp200,sp2000,sp2500 - cheap and really nice if you like that type of sonic signature!

A turntable around $250?
MARANTZes like the old 6150 is incredibly good for about $100. Better yet look for a SYSTEMDEK XII for around $350. I like the Duals especially sleepers like the 1226, 1218, 1237. If you're lucky a Thorens 160 145, 125,166 . REKOKUTS too. Lots to ... 
Is the Eico HF 81 really that good?
Baranyi, Bozaks are simply very unique and a MUST listen.But once you listen you'll find they are a MUST own. Tha Grands or the Symphony but if you don't have the space, go for the 302a which I feel image better. Have fun! 
Which integrateds have the best preamp section?
Plinius 8200II is simply amazing how well it compares to other gear INCLUDING tube gear. I didn't really realize how good it was until I switched back to tubes. I still have it and may sell the tube gear and keep the 8200II 
Is the Eico HF 81 really that good?
Someone always has to dispute statements So , Larry510 sorry to have to tell you your wrong --- Sam's claim to fame is that he "completely redesigns" and even "fixes " design flaws in the original vintage gear just using the original trans and the... 
Is the Eico HF 81 really that good?
Well,it does sound good in it's original condition. The one reviewed in Stereophile was HEAVILY modified by Sam's Audio Labs from Canada. So the chances of the original sounding as good are very unlikely. Is the original 81 better than moderm amps... 
? Speakers for a vintage tube receiver
Vintage sleepers would be Sansui sp200,sp2000, sp-2500. far better than klh 6 , advents, ARs, Dynacos also Fraziers - both are steals online 
? Speakers for a vintage tube receiver
Get any speakers that can be driven by the 400. It's got tone controls......... 
Bozak B-410's....simply awesome
302's are 1/3 of the 410 & 1/2 the size of the 4000 
Bozak B-410's....simply awesome
I agree -410 's are amazing. They REALLY define what "high end" should be. Frankly , if you don't have or have never heard the CG, then you will never understand the true goal of high end audio. BTW- 302 image much better than the 4000's AND the 4... 
Jazz LP's at Tower Records
Tower only selling LPs online or in the stores? 
vintage integrated
First I am a vintage collector. I found an old Eico 12w mono amp in a box of "junk" in my garage making it's way to the curb. Didn't even know I had it. No face plate, no knobs. I hooked it up with an St97 Eico stereo tuner and added an old mono M...
