Jaybo is correct. Stop agonizing and get a Mac ...with Autoformers. And please, don't compare it to a Carver! 
Re: Story about Ringo
Richard who? 
old cdp that hangs with new ones
Pioneer PD-65. It isn't my primary player any more, but it is a real honey, and you'll notice that they still retain value on the used market because they sound good. 
Will Old MAC outperform Cambridge 640 Azur V2?
The 2105 is a hell of an amp that has slain a few giants around my house. I still love it. 
Pros posing as hobbyists?
I feel the same as Danlib1. Because of space and financial constraints, I have sold a number of pieces that I would have rather kept. If you are on a limited audio budget, you need to sell to finance what you want to try next. The problem of cours...

Luxman CL 35III/MQ68 Replace or retube?
I agree with Stanwal. Updating the caps and resistors will certainly make a positive improvement, and why even consider getting something else before you have tried those NOS tubes. 
Mark Levinson 23 with Klipschorn
I disagree -somewhat. I drove K-horns for years with a 100 watt Mac and it sounded great. What is important is how quiet the amp is, and also if the amp is able to perform at it's best at very low levels of it's full potential power curve, and I a...
