2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference?
Like acting, gardening, and cooking, you either have it in your soul or you don't.  So, tell me, how does one learn soo much about audiophiledom.   
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
What's your budget? Do you need more than one phono input?

New tube phono and SUT.   
when did it all get so complicated?
If you have a headphone jack on your computer, you can just use a 2.5mm jack to RCA cable to the Croft.

Can you leave the preamp switched on and only use the power supply switch to power it up thus avoiding the surge?

Jane Morgan With The Troubadors – Fascination (Kapp 1957 mono) How can a 65 year old record sound better than current ones?

@astolfor Understood. That's why I'm in the basement on 5" of concrete on a few acres. Turntable is on concrete blocks as various racks suffered from acoustic feedback. Swapping out cones for springs was a revelation.

Jane Morgan With The Troubadors – All The Way (London 1958 mono) Simply magic. Hi Jim!

@astolfor In fairness, you have some serious hi-end tables there with their own suspension/damping systems.

👍 Have fun. And don't wiggle power tubes again!  
The worst sentence in audio writing
Well, there is that. If I play the same track on the other tonearm/cartridge on my table, I could easily claim the same effect.  It depends, but every single time I've read this from a reviewer they equate "different" with "better."

Just think, you could have got the same results with $35 worth of springs! https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/springs-under-turntable
