Tandberg 3001, 3002, 3003
Go to HiFi Shark, https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=Tandberg+3001 , click on the "Sold/Expired" tab at the top of the listings, then on the "Site" tab at the top of the list to sort them by where they were sold and scroll down until you see U.S. ... 
Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner.
Second the recommendation of the BlueSound Node 2i. It's easy to set up, works with a broad range of sources and sounds good. You can improve the sonics by using an external DAC rather than the one internal to the Node 2i but that can be a second ... 
Analog to imac
Since you have a Shiit preamp one of the Shiit DACs between the iMac and the preamp should work fine. Or any DAC with a USB input that you prefer, any DAC will have analog output that can be connected to the Freya. 
Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it
I have a Blackhawk LE and Reference 3A MM de Capo i speakers. I’m very happy with the combination. 
Trying to sell these
There are 36 listings of sold or expired listings on HiFi Shark, most in Germany, where you'll need to convert euros to dollars, plus one on craigslit.https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=Grundig+7028 
heat
Agree with @oldhvymec's recommendation of silk. I keep my tube integrated covered with a vintage scarf I found among the things in my father's house. It takes seconds to put on or take off, can't create any wear on the amp finish and looks far bet... 
Any audiophiles into motorcycles
And a point of 'reference' is not necessarily positive. 
Any audiophiles into motorcycles
First bike was a a Honda 350 Scrambler bought around 1969. I rode it back and forth to work and around the Texas Hill Country for a couple of years. Sold it and had a beautiful single-cylinder Ducati 250 briefly but it didn’t take long to learn I ... 
Help connecting a source directly to an amp
Every iPhone since the iPhone 5 introduced in 2012 has a Lightning connector rather than a 3.5mm stereo connector. If it does have the Lightning connector there is an Apple adapter that would allow you to use the 1/8" to XLR cable that noromance s... 
Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations
I've been very happy with the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC/headphone amphttps://www.project-audio.com/en/product/pre-box-s2-digital/ It won the “Best DAC/Headphone amplifier” award from EISA a couple of years ago. Swapping it from my office s...

The HIFiShark site has sales records of more than 20 REF 75s on US Audio Mart. Click on the "Sold/Expired" tab at near the top of the page, then click on the "Site" column heading to group the sales by where they were sold.https://www.hifishark.co... 
Recommendations Please: Bookshelf Speakers no Larger than 7"x12"x8"
I would second djones51's recommendation of the NHT Super Zero 2.1. You can get a pair at amazon.com for $225. 
And now it's Denny Freeman.....
For a long time during the 70s, Hut's Hamburgers on W. 6th St. in Austin had Angela Strehli every Wednesday night with Denny Freeman in the band. That was where we went as soon as we got off work late in the evening. There's a wonderful version of... 
And now it's Denny Freeman.....
A great player. I saw him often during the 70s when he was playing with Paul Ray and the Cobras and with Angela Strehli and Miss Lou Ann 
Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear
I have my amp on a few hours every day but that means it's powered off most of the time. I put a beautiful old silk scarf over it after the tubes cool down, which means it doesn't need to be dusted nearly as often. It looks good and slightly myste...
