Which tubes are better...
Wig,I tried the RCA clear tops also, (in addition to ALOT of others). They are good, but not on the same level as the Mullards...in the Belles preamp anyway. You should really enjoy the CV4003's. 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
I replaced all of my mega expensive Cardas collection of cables on my 2 channel rig with Black Mountain Cable and couldn't be happier.I use Signal Cable on my Home Theater set-up and it's excellent as well.

Which tubes are better...
The best tubes that I ever used in my Belles preamp were the Mullard CV4003 from Upscale Audio. The platinum grade are only $40 each.Of the two you mention above, I would try the JAN Philips 5814. Swapping tubes in the Belles is very easy and only... 
Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it?
Al,I had SoundSmith redo the regular, (non ruby) version, but it really doesn't matter because they replace the cantilever with a ruby one anyway. The F9 cartridge BODY is the same, just the stylus is different. You could send them either one of y... 
Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it?
I have gone back to MM cartridges after many years with MC. I find the good MM cartridges are more musical and the music just "flows" better. I agree that MC do have more detail, but I find, in my system, they tend to give up some "soul" of the mu... 
Non-grounded power cables

"Internet Radio" Suggestions Please?
I also recommend Pandora.com. I found out about it here on Audiogon. 
Belles DMC preamp
I'm pretty sure, (I used to own one) that is has ONLY a MC input. I think there was a DMM model for moving magnet cartridges. 
NEW SVS PB12-Plus
Below is a link to a subwoofer "shoot out". It's an interesting read. I tried several of the top listed subs and ended up buying the AV123 MFW15 sub. It's KILLER!!!http://www.tweakcityaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11 
Juicy Music Preamp
Your HK3480 is a receiver that does happen to have preout/main in jumpers. You could remove the jumpers and use the Juicy Music for the preamp section and run it into the main in jacks. All of your gear would then hook up to the Juicy Music and yo...
