How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
There is nothing - repeat - NOTHING wrong with your power cords! To believe otherwise is to be caught in a neurotic obsessio! Ditto for your interconnects!

How's the Barenboim/Berlin 7? I'm curious and will probably order the Teldec CD. He does a good job with massive forces!

I owned many of the Haitink/Concertgebouw LPs on Philips. Very good overall cycle! Alas, lost them when I moved down South!  
Refurbished/Rebuilt Reel To Reel Tape Deck
Copying from a LP, CD or download is a waste of time and money! Only original tapes are worth owning and playing!

The high cost of original RTR tapes is a drawback! I have three decks: Teac, Pioneer and a tube Sony.

A favorite Bruckner 9 that I first listened to 40 years ago (!) is Barenboim/Chicago on a DG LP. The Scherzo with its galloping rhythms is a particularly effective showpiece in this performance! I recently acquired the Barenboim/Berlin version on ...

Where go in Tampa area to repair turntable?

Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please!
Just arrived in time for the holidays: Art Pepper - Thursday Night At The Village Vanguard/Contemporary LP ; Bruckner Symphony 9/Barenboim/Berlin Philharmonic/Teldec CD ; Tyrannosaurus Rex - Unicorn/Blue Thumb LP. 
Headphone amp as pre amp
The same would apply to the Dynaco ST70. Push-Pull EL34's for about 35 wpc make it even more useful! Plus there are newly-manufactured ones with improved circuitry now available! See TAS for a review! 
Headphone amp as pre amp
A nicely restored Dynaco ST35 would be a good choice. Push-Pull 6BQ5's/EL84's for about 15 wpc make it a lot more practical than a slngle-end tube amp. And it has excellent output transformers!

The Elise will work fine as a line stage preamp.  
Tekton Mini Lore with vintage NAD 7225pe?
The NAD will work fine with the Lore speakers. No need to change it!
