Replacing Manley Neo-Classic 300B
I tried the TKD don't remember model but it was $100 in one of my tube preamps replacing a Alps black pot? I'm  now using the Goldpoint dual pots which I really like. The TKD was very detailed and clean sounding but sterile and felt it sucked the ... 
Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
I'll try 1/3, never tried a laser, that's a good idea. I have no idea just eye balled it. When I get time I'm going to start walking speakers around. I did notice soundstage is not as locked in and confused compared to last room, would like to fix... 
Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
I was too lazy to break down racks to try to go low for now. I  lined all 3 racks together and have no extreme experimenting  yet with speaker placement. I have only tried floorstander which I put front baffle 3 1/2 feet off wall and rear is 2 fee...

Thanks everyone for there support, I thought I was an odd ball with such a small room, looks like I was totally wrong. Looks like many have had great results with a small room. I am going to set up everything this weekend and see what happens, I'm... 
Yaqin MS-300C Integrated Amp Keeps Shutting Down
I bought a used Yaqin mc10 el34 intergraded that had been modified by previous owner to bring to work, it ran 8 hours a day for 4 years before I sold it with no issues. When I researched Yaqin before I bought one I noticed you can buy them new wit... 
Yaqin MS-300C Integrated Amp Keeps Shutting Down
I would guess stock Yaqin tubes are not good quality and first place to start process of elimination would be to retube amp. Then you can go from there. 
Do I need to be weary about selling an amp and shipping to a PO Box Box?
I sold a CD player to a guy in Canada all went well. He told me to ship to a post office where he picks up items and cross the border few time a month. Why he does this I have no idea, maybe a Canadian knows. I almost bought a turntable from Canad...

No this is a dedicated room, no tv but may put one on later. There will be a lot of gear going between speakers. 2 amps, preamp, CD player and power supply, Linn turntable on wall shelf with power supply, phono preamp, 2 power conditioner one rack... 
Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
Went by new house yesterday and looked at 12x12 room, damn it's small. I have some room treatment from long ago in a box somewhere, can't remember brand. It's not rigged, it is covered in material with reflective on one side and non reflective on ...

My biggest concern is couch directly on back wall, I would think I need to pull it out into the room, am I wrong? Problem is there's not much room to pull couch into. I'm very glad to hear many have success in smaller than average rooms, I do feel...

Furutech AC Receptacles
I own both gold and NCF if you have them pre burned in it will not help much with the long burnin process, I had mine pre burned in. The gold burns in faster. The NCF is a long bad ride at least 600 hours but worth it in the end. The gold highs ar... 
Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits
If open baffle interest you look at GR Research. They have the flat packs and all the drivers. Very reasonable prices and great support from the owner. I learned to solder so I could build one of his cheap monitors, I may have put 3 or $400 in it ...
