Don't sell your tube amps
Fortunately my amp uses driver tubes that are not too popular and easy to obtain.  I have about 15 different NOS pairs on deck.   A dozen or so NOS 5r4gy  Rectifiers,  and a back up pair of WE 300b.   I have 3 sets of tubes for my Quicksilvers so...

Great foundation for a nice system.   I agree with getting a good streamer /DAC.   Either a nice all in one or separates depending on budget
