where I can buy tubes to my ALLNIC PRE (3A/110A and 3A/109B)
Try Brent Jesse, if he can't get them, I am sure he can give you places you can get them.  He is awesome!       
Borresen Loudspeakers
They are very expensive but worth every dollar if you can afford them.  I picked up a used pair of Borresen 05 Silver Edition for a third of the price and they are simply amazing speakers and the last pair of speakers I will ever have to buy.  I c...

Tube Rolling
Brent Jesse is the best! And yes I have used the Brimar NOS CV4003 tubes in my Primaluna and its a nice upgrade.    
I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k

Magico A3 replacement
the X5 would definitely be an upgrade from the X3, but you are right the A3 is an awesome speaker.  I have the Borresen 05 Silver Edition and they are the best speaker i have ever heard.  Good Luck my friend   
Magico A3 replacement
The Borresen X3 speakers are 11K and use alot of the technology as the more expensive lines...  less than the Magico A3... set for sale at $7,000 below   Borresen X3 For Sale | Audiogon

Recomend you listen to Borresen speakers... they just came out with a more affordable line in your price range.  They make an awesome speaker.   
Help settle a streaming argument!
Your streamer will make a huge difference in SQ. Just upgraded my Auralic Aries G2 streamer (which is is a solid streamer) to the Antipodes K22 and WOW! Assuming you have a high quality DAC of course. Antipodes K22 Music Servers/Streamer    
Getting 2 subs
Just added a pair of Rel 212SX to pair with my Borresen's and they sound amazing. Room Size is 18 X 24 and they are more than enough!   
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
i second the Borresen X3 or X5... amazing speaker and great value for the money  
Inexpensive but decent 8" subwoofers
Take a look at Tekton 2-10 or 4-10 subs... sound great and look awesome.  2-10 Sub | Tekton Design 4-10 Sub | Tekton Design  
I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions
I have the Primaluna EVO 400 amp but you should look at this listing of Rogue Audio M-180 mono blocks I have for sale... they are much better than the Primaluna.  I just need to sell the Rogues to raise some funds for some new equipment.  They sou...
