Help with tube choice
@audiomike33,  I'd also check out Brent Jessee at https://www.audiotubes.com/ and Andy Bouwman at https://vintagetubeservices.com/  It's best to call and talk to them as they can better understand your needs. Of course after you've visited their... 
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
@thr1961 what power strip is that in your pictures?  
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
+1 @emergingsoul, my Sound Anchors five shelves vertical rack also has welded pieces as one unit for anti vibration and with the weight of all the gear and the rack  it really is a lot of weight and I have no problem using casters/wheels also. Ahh... 
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
@roxy54 , I try to be civil when having discussions here. Of course I understand casters or wheels aren’t as anti vibration as spikes and metal coasters. Not everyone has the luxury of having sufficient room as you may have for an audio rack. Some... 
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
@emergingsoul, The other gear you have also should have casters but especially amplifiers. I don’t think you mean ’casters’ as they are wheels and that’s a tough thing to pull off trying to attach a wheel to an amp or other components . I thin... 
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
@woots, I think we are talking about the same thing as the Sound Anchors products do the exact same thing and 'send' the vibrations of your rig all the way down to the tips of the metal spikes screwed in the bottom of the component stand  to the c...

Sound Anchors, and they can do custom. The entire rack itself is an antivibration device. Good price/performance value and built like a tank. https://www.soundanchors.com/products/hi-fi-home-audio/amp-stand Gestalt Audio is a distributor/seller.

Budget preamp with quality volume control
@ditusa  I use NOS 6sn7GT Ken-Rad (Pre-Ge) staggered plates with black carbonized glass. Is this tube the VT231 version? Where to buy? The link you left is not working. Thanks  
What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp?

Budget preamp with quality volume control
Yes, $700 is fair used. You would probably just have to update the firmware through a USB download. Make sure the seller has the original box, packing materials and manual so if you wanted to sell it at a later date. With mine I don't intend to k... 
Budget preamp with quality volume control
That’s supposed to be outstanding synergy not ’outstanding symmetry’. ’Duh’.  
Budget preamp with quality volume control
One night while glancing through the Wyred4Sound website, the proverbial "Duh" hit me like a hammer. Why not the mPre? This is exactly what happened to me. I first wanted the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Stage 2 preamp. I didn’t even know the mPRE exis... 
Budget preamp with quality volume control
In short, I am looking for a budgetary preamp with quality volume control that either has relay switch stepped control or precise potentiometer for left-right channel match to curb the issue.   @lanx0003, The Wyred 4 Sound mPRE preamp priced a...
