It'd be helpful to know what the condition of your electricity is. Do you live in a high-rise in NYC? Are you running a server farm out of your basement? Etc.

If you want the "Real Deal":1. Don't buy the ones that are sold as singles in the blue and white boxes. Those are rejects.2. Only buy from a reputable source.

why don't tubed amps have headphone jacks?
Trucker/Mezmo; one of my favorite pair of headphones was the AKG K1000. It didn't even have the normal 1/4" headphone jack. It connected directly to the speaker terminals. People have driven them with all type of amps! 
why don't tubed amps have headphone jacks?
Mezmo, you don't need a separate (opamp) amplification circuit. The Cary 300SEI (integrated) has their headphone jack wired directly to the output transformers. That's why this particular amp is so coveted by headphone devotees.

They provide gain for MM & MC, just assume it's around 60 and don't worry about it unless you're buying something EXTREMELY exotic with output around .1v.

How much to setup a table??
Jmcgrogan2; What I'm getting at is, what is a reasonable amount to expect to be charged for a medium sized midwestern town. At some point I will ask him. If I ask him now and he says a $100, how do I know if I'm getting a deal or if I'm getting ri...
