Sunfire Preamp Tubes
Gold Lyon is my favorite right now but no good tubes are cheap nowadays.  
Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp
For a good time secondary system, Wharfedale Lintons were fun.  
Velodyne HGS-12 Repair
Really? Do the caps measure bad? I'm running my HGS-12 since they first came out.  
Passive preamp question
You can try the Schitt Kara, passive, low gain, and high gain switchable.  
which of these four amps for Wharfedale Elysian 4's?
What's your preamp. I liking the Parasound because of the EMT tweeter. Wires and preamp will make a big difference.  
Can Anyone Recommend a Repair Shop for a Yamaha C-2x Preamp?
I'd make sure the transistors are still available before I spent any money on it.  
What's my best upgrade options
I think what I’m looking for is more clarity, more crystal clear detail, maybe lower noise floor, if that makes sense. I have had problems with noise when using the higher gain XLR connections. I had to use an adapter and put a pad in the line.... 
Amplifier recommendation
Triangles love tubes.  
Recommendation for tube preamp
QiuckSilver is the budget king.

Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
It's hard to beat the Rogue Sphinx V3 with Gold Lyon tubes, even with separate components. It is that good.  
Tubes
What tube is in it now?  
Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles!
I'm still no bells or whistles. Quicksilver, AES Six-Pacs, Prima Luna...etc.  
Integrated Amps
You would like the Musical Fidelity.. I also like my Rogue Sphinx V3 hybrid. Upgraded to Gold Lyon tubes, a very good combination.
