Primaluna evo 400 - unmatched tubes
Find some Orings at the hardware store to fit the shaft of the cage, to allow  the necessary clearance. You probably need 2-3 for the required lift.If you do a search, there are other ways owners done it. I use the old RCA 6L6G big bottle in my PL... 
Sam here again.Is new remastered vinyl fake vinyl?
There are 2 choices1-spend some free time bin diving, and referencing pressing deadwax.Then be prepared to purchase either a winner or loser. If you get a loser, try again.2- https://www.better-records.com/Pretty simple.  
Looking for phono preamp suggestions
There is a tube and SS camp among the membersIf you REALLY want to get tube freaky-NVO SPA II. It was an Agon darling awhile back.  https://nvoaudio.blogspot.com/search/label/SPA-II%20Tube%20Phono%20pre-amp https://positive-feedback.com/Issue57... 
What is the order of importance of the parts of an analogue rig?
All the above applies. But without a great recorded LP in good condition it’s a waste of money and time.Being a period press snob, I’m obviously biased.That’s a separate thread topic altogether. IMO, may as well have a nice digital setup, if you’r...

McIntosh C 47 phono stage versus the Herron phono.
You will only determine what sounds "better" by trying the Herron. Subjective and just and endless debate if an internal vs separate is "better"There's a  reason many like the Herron, but it's not 100% liked as anything.It's already apples and ora...

Surprising cover-Hope for keeping Classic R&R alive
bkeske-cool story. I remember seeing the album "Legalize It" in stores, and thinking "never in a million years" That was when paraphernalia was part of a record store also.http://nightflight.com/wp-content/uploads/LICORICE-PIZZA-42.jpg http://n... 
Trying to decide on a tuner - Mcintosh MR88 / Magnum Dynalab 108T / Magnum Dynalab 90T SE
A little of track, since you have the MD tubed units under consideration, consider the Mac MR 71. It was their top dog.I've been using one I found here on Agon. Best $750 I spent on audio gear. Subjectively, the most "natural sounding" in the line... 
Power strip question
I practice more,  rather than get swallowed by the cable and tube thing with my audio setup.I DO "get it" though. A nicer tone makes you want to play more. Careful, if you stick around here, you'll become obsessed with plugging it in to a standard... 
Speaker popularity
Definitely a "quarantined  for too long" question. 
New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
Enjoy your new acquisition. I'm sure they are fine speakers. I have a PL HP, along with the Denafrips Ares for my digital listening, though records are my primary source.One thing I noticed about the Tektons cabinet build. The drivers appear to no... 
The very best sound: Direct to Disc
I'm familiar with those Sheffield D2D's but never heard one.Anyone have any of the late 70's Angel 45 Sonic Series? If you have BOTH, how do they compare sonically? Are the 45's anywhere near the quality of the Sheffield's?I have several of thes... 
How should I price my Pro-Ject turntable for sale?
14 year old entry level table.Be thankful if you get 40% of MSRP, maybe a little more including the other stuff.
