Best used speakers under $3,500?
Tomryan- I love my Merlin VSM-MMs, but if you can find me a pair of MXs for well under $3.5K, I will eat my shorts. That's well over 50% discount for the latest, top of the line version of a very highly regarded speaker. In fact, if you could get ... 
Cheap Backup Amp Needed
For that money, hard to find fault with a McCormack DNA 0.5. At 1K, you could probably find one that's been taken to level b mod at SMcAudio. For 92 dB speakers, if you want something that can double as a headphone amp, how about a Berning microZo...

Semi- What's the Fujitsu "trick"? Jond- You can find a bracket for way less than $250.00, but I would be VERY cautious before trying to do an install on a fragile and heavy item like that. The problem will be how to get someone to install the set ...

Need new tubes or other problem?
If the noise did not follow the tubes, then it is not the tubes. Sorry to state the obvious. 
how to hook up a pre-amp to a intergrated amp
Set input on Dynaco to phono, take signal from tape out to any unused input on the Creek. Set input selector on Creek to that input. Dynaco volume control should not be a factor on this. Make sure tape monitor switch on Dynaco set to source. 
Triangle and Green Dot....What are they?
The green dot indicates "hospital grade", IIRC. Means tighter grip so your heart monitor won't come unplugged when you roll over ;~) 
Is Quality Prog. Scan DVD Under $500 possible?
Pioneer Elite 09? 
High speed internet via electrical power lines
Ditto, Eldartford. 
Need complete stereo help starting with preamp
Hmmm- How about the Audio Refinement Complete (I've had one, it is a very nice, neutral unit) and a Lehman Black Cube with the upgraded power supply. Should be able to stay under $1k used.

At that price range, you are looking at an integrated, IMO with a built in phono stage. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I'd be interested. I also need to have the overall gain reduced and would like to have the sacrifice one of my dual outputs to get a tape loop in place.
