How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes.
hi Jeff...just wondering can the Cary 805B or C accommodate the 32b, 320b Vaic, VVT or Emission Labs.  This is for the replacement drivers tube 300b.  Please advise?

Counterfeit Audioquest Cables
I just want to send this message out to all the Audiophile members!    All AQ cables; being real or fake comes from the same oven. That oven is from overseas;  No If and or Butt! Mark my words!

Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in
Lukaske... excellent preamp, phono options are excellent.  Preamp stand-alone is very musical, optional phono built in can get very expensive.  The M5 w/phono also one of my favorite.

ECC31 tubes in 6SN7 slots of Line Magnetic amp. Possible?
You can with the adaptor But might not sound like a 6sn7 (sluggish overly bass). You should try the 6f8g w/adaptor should work perfectly.  I recommend the round plate, best sounding 6f8g.   
Silly question about a KSA 250-Fuse
the ksa series doesn’t come with an external fuses. It is a breaker which will trip when the amp detect a problem. You need to push in to reset. Internally it does come with two fuses which are both soldered to a circuit board. Hope this help.

Any avantgarde acoustic owners?
fyi... Avant-garde Are Not Horn speakers!   They claim that they are horn speakers but in fact they are a copy of horn style/hybrid type of speakers.  If they are true horn speakers;  it has to have compression drivers and horn load enclosure!

sk78... from my experiences some footers can be a hit or miss.  I would not say that it’s better but different in sound quality.   To me some system could benefit from it to others it will not.   My system did not benefit from it.   
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
you can tinker the crossover.  Use paper in oil caps for the Tweeter and midrange.   Metalized poly caps are kind of bright especially when it comes to Mag and Be materials.   
Rehashing the Playstation 1 topic - higher voltage possible?
i strongly suggest running the tranport and dac separately.  The pins on the board for the power supply can be taken a part, you can run each pins on dc.  i suggest getting a dc to dc converter board from texas instrument, run everything on regula...
