Vinyl from Barnes & Noble
@schubert Surely you have heard of cases where celebrities have successfully sued news corporations for defamation and won.  Are you sure your statement is true? 
Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB
30,40, and 50db are pretty quiet. I bet many listening rooms have at 30db of background noise before music has started playing.  I listen at pretty low levels and it wasn’t until I got a tube based high efficiency setup before I could truly enjoy ... 
Vinyl from Barnes & Noble
Barnes and Noble is probably just buying from a distributor.  They aren’t the ones repackaging these records.  In some ways, they are just as much a victim as you were. 
Scam dealer on Ebay?
@geoffkait Believe it or not there are some rabid G-Shock collectors out there.  I actually made a good bit of money 5-10 years ago collecting and selling them.  I haven’t kept up with the market lately, but when I was in it, that G-Shock was easi... 
Biasing signal tubes on a tube power amp/Quicksilver M120
There is nothing in the manual for that amp about having to bias the input tubes.  Perhaps the output tubes would need to be biased when the input tubes changed and that's what Mike was referring to. 
Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers
I've got both Decware and Quicksilver Horn Monos.  The Quicksilvers are really dead quiet amps and they sound superb.  They'd be a great match in your setup.  
Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors.
@smrex13 I'm not Myron, but I do own a few pairs of Omega speakers and can give my opinion about the highs and lows.For me, the highs...and I mean really up high...more like the harmonics of cymbals, bells etc. don't have that last utmost shimmer ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@david_ten I'd seriously consider a Quicksilver amp.  Perhaps the mid mono if you don't listen super loud. 
Your thoughts about Omega speakers
I'd think that the 3i would be a bit imposing on most desktops. 
Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W
I used to own both.  I posted some thoughts in this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/kef-ls50/post?postid=244713#244713 
A vote for the little guy suppliers
Another vote for Quicksilver and Decware.  Also Louis at Omega speakers.  All are great people to deal with. 
Harbeth p3esr SE
IIRC the Special Edition version was released very early in the P3ESR run.  Someone Alan Shaw respected told him he should use higher quality wiring in the cabinet so he started doing so.  I don't think I've ever seen a non Special Edition sold an... 
Best small used monitors under $1000
@brianportugal I've never heard any of the Argon's.  I know they use completely different drivers, so I have no idea if they sound similar to the Helium's.

Nuprime sta-9 amp and Schiit Saga preamp.  I also have a Rega Brio but prefer the Nuprime with the Amphion. 
Best small used monitors under $1000
Hi brianportugal,Its the Amphion Helium 2 that I listen to in my second system.  My main system consists of the Omega Alnico monitor driven by Quicksilver Horn Mono amplifiers.  I really need to update my systems page.
