It would be a good idea for the OP to study the PL website. It has plenty of information about the amps. There is more detailed info on tube use. Hopefully, the OP s recognizes he is being given subjective opinion i.e.- "I guess the last weaknes... 
Close, but no cigar ...
WHATEVER you get, spend time to optimize room/speaker. After that, stay off audio forums to enjoy music.  
Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage.
""What I can say if you want equal to Trumpet you need to look in the 20-50K$ price range That's some endorsement. No need to look for a used  Herron, Manley Steelhead or an ARC Ref10 for that matter. I do believe in all the positive user commen...

"LOVE to EAT tubes FAST so checking tubes more frequent with tube tester than in poweramp is recommended." czarivey-since you mentioned it, I'm don't test tubes. Just replace something if I notice the SQ amiss. Some of the tubes are as old as the... 
EgglestonWorks Andra in nearfield?

The irony-there actually are fans of this womans.....uh music? Millennial crowd diva/genius. Heard through millions of Iphones.    
New Rega P10 setup
"I went with an P10 with Aphelion 2." You can now get off the merry -go -round until you're ready to dump some serious cash. Now direct audio neurosis towards getting  period, original mint  pressings of what you listen to. Enjoy.
