ARC LS17 vs. LS26
The LS17 is a wonderful preamp, but the LS26 is close to the best you can buy. Get the LS26 and not lose any more sleep...well, unless you are staying up all night listening to the LS26 :-) 
Audio Research Reference 3 and BAT spec 6H30

My First Turntable
I'm pretty sure that the PS Audio 6.2 is a LINE stage only preamp. NO phono stage. You will need to get an outboard phono stage to use a turntable.

recommended 6922 tubes for a moderate price?
I recommend giving Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio a call or e-mail. He has NEVER steered me wrong. I have bought MANY tubes from him, off of his suggestions.
