sub-$1000 bookshelf speaker/monitor recommendation
Spendor 3/5R'S great sealed monitor,a pair is for sale now under $1000. 
Alternative to 12AX7-EH tube needed...new to tubes
You can reduce gain with 12at7 40%,12au7 80%,jjtesla makes both of them,tube depot is a nice place to start. 
Best way to couple monitor speakers to stands?
Go to Walmart and get Scotch foam mounting squares they are double sided and cost about $2.00,they work as well as any other stick on device I have used. 
What would you chose? VPI MKIII vs. Linn LP-12
Hi,I use my Sonata with SME 309,the combination is perfect.Keep the VPI it is a great table.

Years ago I had a Grado with a MMT and I would blow woofers often,the arm will resonate right out of the groove (Grado dance). I love Grado but you have to match with right tonearm and the MMT is not.

QUICK SILVER DOES NOT MAKE INTEGRATED AMPS SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE
Great speakers,I have the 3/5r's with Quick Silver 50 watt amps and the combo is great,try to find the mid mono's they have plenty of power and vocals are to die for. What preamp are you using? 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I OWNED THE 15, IT WAS A LITTLE LACKING IN THE BASS COMPARED TO OTHER AMPS I'VE OWNED BUT IT WAS A REAL NICE AMP BUILT LIKE A TANK. THE PROTECTION CIRCUITS ARE VERY SENSITIVE, IT WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN USING TUBE PREAMPS SO I HAD TO SELL IT, IF YOU ... 
which preamp to buy???
QUICKSILVER AUDIO GREAT LINESTAGE GOES FOR ABOUT $600 USED. 
Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening
Spendor 3/5r's are a great speaker $1500 new,I replaced Vandersteens years ago with Spendors and became a Spendor lover since. 
Speaker Placement Problem
Spendor 3/5'S they are a sealed system no ports. 
Too much power for Spendor S3/5?
I have the Spendors and used with 200 watt solid state and 50 watt tube,they are a great speaker,enjoy them and don't worry. 
Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals
Rickie Lee Jones Traffic From Paradise blows me away every time I spin it! 
Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines
I can't understand why you need a 20 amp when your gear only uses about 500 watts. 1 amp= 110 watts so a 15 amp circuit is about 1700 watts; a 20 amp is about 2200 watts, it is like using a 5 amp fuse when you need a 1 amp fuse. You are better off...
