Found Sound!

Description
I have thousands of LPs to feed my passion. I like rock, jazz, folk, electronic and Avant-garde music of all types.
I'd like to try a tube phono amp or tube pre amp at some point. My listening area has 9' ceilings and is approx. 18' X 22'.
I want to develop my system so as to accommodate as much of my vinyl as possible. Any suggestions are welcome.
