An audio component you just can't let go
I run an vintage system in my spare room and for me its fun. my A/D/S L910 speakers are keepers for life. I also love vintage Sansui integrated amps. AU 20000, AU 777,  are some of my favs. Sansui Tuners are some of the best ever made love my T... 
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
For that room I’d seriously look at Audio note UK AN line of speakers. They are designed to be placed in the corner of the room. some of the very best for a musical presentation. None fatiguing, excellent detail levels, excellent bass depth and de... 
Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp
In my profile system page there is a chart for NOS small signal tube ie 12au7,12ax7 etc. its very handy for what you're asking. note its labelled 12au7 but it's the same for 12ax7, 12at7,12au7.     
Is it analog or is it digital?
The amps in the speakers are amps treat them as amps not digital devices with low power requirments. Amps (x2 i’m assuming) will have a much larger power draw then any digital device. Remeber a Class D amp is not digital...... Shunyata, would be ... 
Single ended = large images?
I would recommend you look at Triode labs-Finale Audio out of Toronto, they make some of the best SET’s I’ve heard. I’m not sure though if they make one powerful enough for your 91db-8ohm (4ohm min) speakers though. You mentioned 89db but the man... 
Calling All Tube Gurus
Mac new branded tubes are JJ’s. Not the best but reliable and available.   
Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit
MAC SS preamp would probably fit the bill. very flexable as well. Used of course.   
Looking for some feedback
Interesting, I have a C2700 and i'm thinking of getting a better phono stage. I'll follow this thread.  I will say though after a tube roll the built in ones are much better. the JJ tubes are not the best soudning tubes IMO. I have yet to find an... 
Why tube rectification?
Tube if pared with a choke everyday. SS if no choke.

Interaural Crosstalk And Loudspeaker Setup
why is this a concern ? try a headphones i suppose. Humans have evolved to hear from both ears at the same time thats how we localise things. you may just make it worce. we can tell distance, angle to sound, etc from the different time the audio ... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
Tride labs 2A3 mono blocks, with the right speakers they are sublime.   
Echoey walls and dust mites
 I would not imagine dust mites could live in most acoustic treatments as they are manmade products. I take antihistamines every day for my allergies, so I feel your pain.   
DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2?
It was better then a few streamers i've had, including an Aurender A10. Mines in a C2700. took a much more expemcive DAC to outprefomr it. I'd say 4$k and up to get better. not different as many are just that.    
Time for a new cartridge
I took me some time to find a cart i liked as much as my VDH. There is something about the VDH stylus profile that’s special IMO. I've had mine rebuilt at VDH twice now. But i found a lightly used Sumiko Pear wood celebration 2 that fills in quite...
