Rogue
I totaly agree with Dave.I have the 66 and it romps all over stuff that is 2/3 times the price.Its very well built and has a seperate power supply and a phono stage.I replaced the stock tubes which are not bad with NOS 4003 Mullards and now you wi... 
Power Cords
The Coincident is a great buy for the money.You dont need to spend 700.00 on a power cord.You can put the money elsewhere.Do you have dedicated power to your system.Also a PS Audio 300 used will get you more benifit than a 700.00 power cord.

sovtek and svetlana 6550c
Both tubes are good but the Sveltana is better.Svetlana is like a Cadilac,Sovtek is a Chevy. 
psb vs, klipsch.
You really need to listen to them.I would go with the more efficient of the 2 speakers.be carefull that your speakers all have the same efficiency or things will sound out of balance.

The antique sound labs is a good start.It will give you a nice feel.Their amps are very good also.Do one at a time.good interconnects are a must.
