Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp
RCA 12AX7 or 5751 BlackPlates have smooth, open sonics. A classic tube sound, less expensive than Mullards. 
Upgrading receiver: Got a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires+NAD C740
Suggest you find a used high power integrated amp for the Dynaudio's. Use the NAD for the Totems. You can't have it all in one box for your budget.

Still droning on about rap, taters? Is that what this thread is about?
