If you could bring back one great artist that has
Emily Remler. If you are into great jazz guitar you know who she is. She was an incredible talent. So sad. Get all of her vinyl on Concord. Great stuff and recorded well.  
KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110.
For several years I had auto-bias integrated and power amps and I went through all the power tubes (and several small pre tubes). I ran El34, kt77, kt120, kt150, Kt88, 6550. I kept coming back to the El34s and the 6550s. At the time I had a pair o...

CD"S
I like it simple, put it in the CD player, put it on the turntable. I can’t speak to streaming as I don’t. I do copy CDs to my desktop and burn 80 great minutes of custom CDs, for example female vocals, soul, rock, fusion, acoustic jazz, etc. I wo... 
Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup
I agree with all who suggest getting a new, separate, phono stage first.  It is critical if you are going to really get into vinyl and I would get a tube one. You can then roll tubes if necessary to compliment any cartridge. Make sure it can handl... 
Best place to sell an amp.
+1 on US AudioMart. Sold an amp and pre-amp there in last 6 months.  
Great sounding/recorded albums
A bit off thread, but any Steely Dan fan should get Fagen’s box set Cheap X-mas. It’s a must-have.  Also when is Becker’s “11 Tracks of Whack” gonna get on vinyl?  
SET amplifier recommendation
Take a look at the Audio Mirror 45w SET mono blocks. Over your budget, but maybe used price would meet your spend. There are also a couple of reviews links on the Audio Mirror website.  
Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there??
A friend of mine saw Barre’s band recently and said it was great. I have a solo CD by him (could not find it on vinyl) and the compositional variety and skill shown is...well, exceptional. Do you know if he lives in the US now? Hope I get a chance... 
The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!
I just love music and to enjoy it well in my home I have to learn something about the equipment, in order to get the best value for what I spend. I am curious about how different types of components and speakers sound though, but that is nearing i... 
Help selecting a new preamp
You may want to check out a used Dehavilland Ultraverve, or new. Hand-wired, simple, 6sn7 based. See Dehavilland Electric Amplifier website. I bought a used one here on Agon and love it in my system. Easy to tweak the sound since there is only one...

@mitchagainis the new APP lp good?  
Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there??
Saw Brit Floyd on a whim and was shocked at how good it was. Huge show with lasers and effects and some graphics seemed to be exact ones used on earlier Pink Floyd tours. Musicianship was stellar. My first concert was Zeppelin when I was 15. I saw... 
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.
I am lucky that my listening room has 2 vents in it for cooling and temperature is easily controlled by opening/closing the vents. Very cool in summer as I live in SC and it gets very hot here,  but heat from the amp is a non-issue as we have to r... 
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.
I have a pair of Audio Mirror monoblocks that use the 6C33C tube and have more than 50 hours and no problems at all. I like the sound of these tubes - very clear, uncolored, balanced and almost no real sonic signature. Tubes with other amps I had ...
