Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics
New AVA Synergy450 is a killer, VERY good amp. 
What three shelf stand should I purchase?
Celtic66, what model Quad you get? I have a dealer near me. 
How important is an audio rack?
Just put isoblocks under everything. 
I can't part with it; what should I do?
Just keep it, wife may leave some day, PL12 will always be there. 
What three shelf stand should I purchase?
Whatever one you like, tell wifey to chill . 
Massed strings and large choral groups
He told you right, especially chorus in a large Cathedral setting, treble voices in English ones drive me nuts.Resolution is more a matter of a great amp with OK speakers than vice-versa. 
Bryston BP-6 vs EE minimax pre ?
Actually ,the EE is probaly the least "tubey' tube pre out there. A cameleon with different tubes but always more SS sounding. 
Amp with RCA inputs CLOSE together.
Thanks fellas, good info. 
Amp + Speakers for a 13 ft X 10 ft room
Silverline Minuets are THE bomb in a room that small. 
Springfield, MO
Be a real small club. 
the viability of hi end companies
Only need to sell 10pr of !00 K speakers a year world-wide to clear 500 K in a 3-4 person company where owner gets 80% of profit. 
Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner
Nikko Gamma series, esp analogue Gamma 1 
When speakers almost sound like the instruments
Rather listen to a good amp thru so-so speakers than vice-versa.Of coutse rather listen to Lamm monoblocks thru Magico 5's. 
best vintage stereo receiver
Sansui 9090, hands down. 
Amp, On A Budget?
Personally, while the ST 140 is a sweet amp(had one) I would not run any amps that old on speakers I would mine loseing.
