Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?
There was something magical about Sansui tuners, and since the tuner was part of the reciever; I would pick Sansui. 
12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2
Yes, they are the best bargain in NOS tubes. I get mine from Brent Jesse. I got my Primaluna new and swapped out the 12AX7's for new tubes but liked the tubes already in better. Call Upscale Audio at 909-931-9686, they can identify which tubes you...

Were the 12AX7's that you swapped out, Shuguang. I found them to better than the new tubes I tried.

I have a prologue 6. The 12AX7's are too good to swap. NOS RCA 12AU7's will upgrade the sound, and I found Tung Sol EL34's to work for me. 
Can I use EL34 tubes on KT88 amps?
All Primaluna amps can use EL34 or KT88 tubes. I hope that gives you another option if you want to switch back and forth. 
Conrad Johnson PV-1
Although I'm an older CJ preamp fan, this is the first time I've heard of the PV 1. The PV 12 mates well with a SS amp and you get most of the tube sound with NOS tubes. 
Music to die to
I mis-spelled the group "Tuatara". They have an album with a cut titled "Orpheus Must Die". I strongly beg to differ. The name of the CD is "East of the Sun". I will give it a listen.

Tuatera, "Breaking the Ethers", has anyone ever heard of "Tuatera"? They are my new groove.

Inna, you will love Passion, Grace & Fire. The LP I have features John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, and Paco De Lucia. It is the best guitar album in my collectionEnjoy the music.

I thought I was the only person on the planet who liked "Visions of the Emerald Beyond" 
Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference.
They came stock in a Primaluna amp from Upscale Audio. I assume they were standard. 
Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference.
I replaced some Shuguang 12AX7's and quickly put the Shuguangs back in, they are that good.

That must have been some good erb herb.

qdrone, I own everything I could find by "Face", but nothing even remotely compares to seeing "Face" live.
