PCL86 driver tube and sound quality in Allnic T1500
Why obsessively worry? Use and enjoy your Allnic amp. I am sure it sounds excellent!

What output tubes in your Allnic amp? 300B's? Then the 6BQ5 half of the PCL86 is the driver - a good choice!

You can buy and try PCL86's from different mfgrs. Otherwise you are stuck with them in your amp. You cannot substitute 6SN7's for the PCL86's   
Review : XH-Electron XH-M541 mini amp + JBL Control Monitor Bookshelf Speakers
I wonder how it would do in a shootout with my SET 2A3 amp with Tango iron - 3.5 watts driving the small JBL's?

The PCL86 is half a 12AX7 and a 6BQ5/EL84. There are plenty of NOS available on eBay. The vintage Yugoslav EI's are a good value!

Do you like the way your amp sounds now? That's the only thing that matters!  
Looking for some turntable/tonearm/cartridge guidance
Get the Moerch if the price is affordable for you. The Hana ML is a very good choice!

+1 for the $300 Onkyo!  
Rounded back enclosure gives clearer sound - B&W 805
The Sonus Faber Amati's for sale here on Agon have this design also.

My DCM Time Windows have round backs and no parallel sides to reduce standing waves. Unusual and effective design!

The first five LPs/CDs by Led Zeppelin are all home runs out of the ball park!  
Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp
Get a nicely restored Dynaco ST70. Plenty of dynamic power compared to a typical SET amp. Agon member autospec has one for sale here.  
Advice for a new analog system
@chayro +1! That's what I would recommend! Spending $34K on a TT and more on a cartridge is a waste of money! This is where diminishing returns sets in!  
Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers?
How about this: the speakers that impressed me the most over the past several years have been the Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders! I bought a seond-hand pair quite cheaply. They may be the best sounding and better than any of the other speakers in my co...
