Opinions on bi-amping Linn Espek speakers ?
I biamp my Totems with tubes and SS.All I needed is to adjust gain of an SS amplifier to match tube amp. I did it through balanced line converter with adjustable gain.The line converter or gain controll you can get from any music store or visit ht... 
A resistor question for CAT SL-1...help needed
A 1/4Watt would definitely suffice for input resistor for the cartridge.The simple rule is that the total resitance if you connect a resistor R and 47k input resistance in parallel will be smaller than R. Since 47K is much larger than 100Ohm you m...

Used preamps under $500 better than Audiolab 8000C
Try to find Sunfire Symphonic Reference preamp.It has an excellent phono section, tone controlls, external proccessor terminals(if you want to use an external EQ for instance), high-pass output(an excellent feature for biamplification) and finally... 
What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers?
to reduce the sound in the appartment bellow you should do a sound proofing.placing a carpet in the entire room where the stereo system is located will partially solve your problem.you may than use platforms that you would place on the carpet unde... 
Tube rectifier or solid state
auto bias control circuit just like in quicksilver amps prevent large b+ steps during the wormup proccess. 
Single vs Multiple driver loudspeakers...
You may consider an active speaker as one or more single drivers powered by separate amplifier for each.
