Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier

Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier
     Nothing (AT ALL) wrong with the above, but: here's another tack, you might consider.      You already have two excellent amps, that are a better match to your less-than-efficient speakers, than tube power would be.   Even with the powered su... 
How much hum is normal from a new tube amp

Listen with your skin.
Only one would ask such a question ?                       WHY?           Because you're making things up?      The book either says it, or: it doesn't.                   Simple as that!!

Are you a Bible fundamentalist?      Not certain what that means, or any correlation to the fact of, "don't speak to the wind" not appearing in any version/translation, that I've read.                       Thought I may have missed something.... 
Listen with your skin.
"They said "dont speak to the wind" in the Bible..."                                            Where?  
Power cable from wall socket to power strip
@simna   How can the power cable from the wall outlet to a power conditioner have any importance? The power has traveled through miles of ”ordinary cable” to my wall outlet, so how can this last bit to the power conditioner, that is supposed to ...

Power cable from wall socket to power strip
     My first step (when addressing power to my system) was to replace the 14 AWG, that fed most of my upstairs rooms, with a 20A dedicated line (two twisted together, 10/2 runs of Romex*), on it's own breaker and the bus bar of the Main, with not...
