Cary 300B or Cary 2a3?
I love my Sun Audio SV-2a3 with Voigt Pipe (TWL Mod.) Lowther Driver. 
"Wife Friendly" full range speakers
I made a pair of Voigt Pipe with TWL Mod. (folded swing panels) using Lowther drivers. The speakers are made of oak, and I match them with my furniture in the living room--my wife is very pleased. If you need DIY step-by-step info, write me analog... 
how good is the sun audio sv2a3
With NOS tubes, they work wonder! Enjoy Sun Audio 2a3. 
Harmonic recovery System
Jayctoy,May I ask which one you like better, the AH4000 w/ upsampler or the Sony 9000ES w/ mod?KK 
Poll: Best SACD/CD player
If best in the sense of cent (dollar), I saw once on Audiogon relatively new Sony DVP-S9000ES for $500--great deal, excellent sound and picture. 
tube tuner and sources
I finally got the Mac MR 71 in 2003 and very pleased with the music--incredible. I will not be looking for another tuner. Mac MR 71 is it. 
excellent used LP stores in Los Angeles LA
Thanks all!I will have fun shopping.

I have had phono preamp for years but couldn't explain its function. The above explanations are very helpful, thanks audiogoners. There is no dumb question. 
short in a tube-what happens?
6dj8 is a relatively common tube, to be on the safe side, I think if you know there is some kinds of short in the tube, then replace it with a good one. I assume the audio gear you have is expensive. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I could not believe it, this is such a long thread that I cannot even finish reading it. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Camry. 
listener fatigue? go analogue.
My personal experience has been similar to yours, Willy, that analogue music is more pleasant to my ears, even with modest pro-ject or rega 2. It is too bad that some of collections are available only in CDs, otherwise, I would have sold my CD gea... 
Too many options...HELP
Can I offer another option for you? You can consider selling the players and get a turntable. Good luck! 
Favorite set-up and/or testing CD?
Stereophile, RCA, and others have made these CDs to test the basic setup. Ultimately, you need to set up by listening--your ears.
