Best preamp for my Krell FPB 600
The ML 38S is an excellent preamp and will sound fine in ANY system!

Aerial Acoustics Model 9
In theory a woofer will have its flattest response when located near a surface (wall or floor). My Snell Type A's have a woofer at the bottom of the cabinet and require placement against the front wall. So they take advantage of this boundary effe... 
MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands?

Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy!
If you are intent on using the Latino amps then the later Quad 988 or 989's would be a better choice, as they already have protection circuitry! 
Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy!
Your Bob Latino tube amps would be a mite too powerful for the 57's - unless some protection circuitry was added. No more than 20 volts peak was the factory recommendation! A Dynaco ST70 would be ideal - pp EL34's with 35 watts output. I have two ... 
Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy!
I live in an apartment so my Quad 57's remain in storage until I can free up some more space! I bought my first pair in 1982 and kept them in use for 19 years (until I stupidly sold them!). The amplifier I used for all that time was the Bedini 25/... 
Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy!
In my collection I have: Quad 57's (two pairs), Quad 303 (upgraded), Hafler 101, Linn Sondek/Grace 707. These components (old as they may be!) put together make a great-sounding system!   So I recommend buying a pair of Quad's in good condition (m... 
calling all Guru;s, Ideas on audiophyle high effeiciency speakers solicited
I can speak from experience, owning a NYAL Moscode 150 (half the power of the 300)! 
calling all Guru;s, Ideas on audiophyle high effeiciency speakers solicited
Contrary to untutored belief tubes are NOT inherently better than transistors! I own many amps of both types! Your 803D2's are truly excellent speakers and capable of better sound than ANY high-sensitivity types. I can recommend a New York Audio L...

Is a SUT needed?
A good quality SUT is IMO the best way to amplify the low output (<1 mv) of mc cartridges with adding any noise! My first transformer was a Verion P designed by Mitchell Cotter. This was back in 1977 and my mc cartridge was the GAS Sleeping Bea... 
Suitable affordable speakers for Cary Cad 805AE
Letting your Cary SET amps transformers get hot will damage them eventually! Warm is acceptable - NOT HOT! Too much current going through that iron! Find a tech that can check the operating condition of the amps (leaky coupling caps ...). And the ... 
Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer?
Mogami Blue Neglex 2477 coax OFC. I bought a 40 ft piece for $40 (1979), cut it in half and used it on my KLH Nines for 23 years! Lost it in a move. Wish I could get some more now!
