Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
😮Shocked that Audiotroy carries the Kef Blades.  Who could have guessed that? 
Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests
Or as Frank Zappa said,  "I get off being chuked by a baby octopus and spewed upon with creamed corn".😮 
tube pre amp or tube amp
Unless you have deep pockets and can invest significant green in a high power tube amp or have more shallow pockets but have very efficient speakers that would not require a boat-anchor of an amp I would go tubes in the preamp.  My system has been... 
Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?

Vibration Isolation
@lak   I believe that either "Goo Gone" or "Goof Off" should, with some elbow grease help you to get rid of the black marks.

My Luxman E-250 phono stage includes an "articulator" switch on the faceplate.  It's purpose is to degauss the coils that move (moving coil) in the magnetic field created by the stationary magnets. The idea is that demagnetizing the coils will all... 
Finding the right tube preamp (input values) for Mccormack DNA
@soix I believe you are mistaken.  I asked Steve Mc about input impedance and was told that it remains 100k after his SMc Audio upgrades.
