Budget cable for tubes
Monster m1000i may be the exact sound you prefer, a little on the warm side with heavy bass, for more definition I like the Kimber hero's.

How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12
I have only adjusted mine when I chaged the tonearm. I have one with an SME 309 , and my sons has a 3009. There is a little too much hype about the LP12 . It is simply one of the best sounding tables out there. Once its set up your done. 
Easier maintenance ARCVT100mkII or VTL mb125
The ARC has a resister that you clip on aligator clips to to connect to the multimeter and the vtl has two holes that the probes go into. Remember the tubes are hot and your working very close to them so your concentration is required. It takes ab... 
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 two tube failure? HELP
When a tube blew it probably took out the associated reisitor. You can call SF service and they may be able to tell you where you can check with a multimeter to confirm. Unless its a bad new tube its probably a resistor. 
Full-function/Phono-only vs. Line + Phono Stage?
My first choice would be cj art/15 phono or ARC ref + ref phono. But if your not the Donald I would suggest the ARC sp16 it's great and it takes up less space and it cost 1/4 or less of the price of the big boys but it will still give you a taste ...

Where do tubes matter most???
If your speakers are moderatly efficient , I prefer all tubes. They add a natural richness and level of realism that many SS components can not approach. Tubes do require a small amount of involvement for biasing , replacing tubes, tube rolling. I... 
Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice
I own the 10t's with a VTL ST-150 Tube amplifier and I love them. Bass is robust but tight, Midrange is magical, and the high end is super smooth. The high end is very clean and non-fatiquing which may account for it sounding slightly rolled off. ... 
New to vinyl, which turntable, etc?
A Linn LP12 is also a great tt One with an Ittok arm and Valhala power supply can be found in the 600-750.00 rang. It's a magical piece of equiptment. Try the dollar bins and the 180 gram audiophile pressings.
