I have a local surplus store that has tons of RCA/Sylvania/Philips tubes. What tubes work good in the LD II++?

Looking at building my first tube amp. Complexity isn't a problem but I would like something that is either a kit or has a mainboard made for it and parts that are easy to get. Price really isn't a concern but would like to stay below $400. Any ideas.

What is the consensus on the best ripper for FLAC files?

I really want to give the Stax Omega IIs a try. Anyone in Colorado have a pair for audition or know where I could?

Just got bit by the headphone bug and picked up a pair of DT880s and HD650s. I would like the re-cable both. I don't buy into all the cable voodoo but still want to put good cables on them to see if I hear a difference. Any suggestions on what cables and where I could get new plugs for the Senns?
