Beware the audio guru
+1 prof! Your reply to teo is the best I've seen! You've nailed it down tight! Much appreciation! Do you teach a course on Logic and Philosophy at a local college? 
Getting into Tube Equipment
Two great vintage tube preamps from the late 70's - early 80's are the Precision Fidelity C2 and C7. Both were designed by Bruce Moore (of later MFA fame!) and built in San Francisco. They used rather innovative cascode circuitry and were the best... 
Turning the volume up
2 volt output on digital sources is a curse! One volt would be much more useful and still capable of driving most amps to full output! 
RIP Dave Wilson
Thank you David Wilson for making your speakers so expensive that only the 1% can afford them! 
To bridge or not to bridge ?
Just like adding a mpingo disc to the tops of your speakers! LOL!

+1 bache! Any apparent change is strictly imaginary - though the tin hat crowd will disagree!  
What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system?
Bruckner Symphony 9 Barenboim/CSO on DGG LP. Here's another all-analog recording featuring the Chicago Symphony in top form! Lots of full-orchestral power on display!

St.Saens Symphony 3 (Organ) Barenboim/CSO on DGG LP. Knockout 4th movement that will really test the dynamic range of any system! All-analog too! 
What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system?
Bartok "Music For Strings, Percussion and Celesta" Ozawa/BSO on DGG LP. Mahler Symphony 1 Ozawa/BSO on DGG LP. Lively, well-recorded with satisfying dynamic range. And all-analog too!

Problem with having too many LP's is I can't remember which of the two I have! Will have to check! LOL!

I have that same Steve.Wilson recording on LP! Will have to dig it out of my collection and give it a listen! It did have good reviews! 
Erhard Audio - Dynaco SCA-35 type amp
Certainly a good-sounding 6BQ5/EL84 tube amp! But with low power will need careful speaker matching. Heresy's will work well! 
JBL 4312SE 70th Anniversary ?
Don't know the new ones but the original 4312's are very fine mid-size speakers! Though more favored by the. rock and jazz enthusiasts than classical! 
Groove Glide. Yeah, nay or maybay???
I have used.Last Record Preservative with good results and Stylast for cartridges! Good products! 
Best Speakers for Very Large Bright Room
Ohm Walsh's can work fine in large rooms. I own a pair!
