+1 on trusting your ears, with so may different variables on each system and components, it’s the only way to fine tune. Trusting your ears, and adjusting things to your liking is a huge part of this hobby.   
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
It is really sad that most are gone and it seems that what’s left are only in large metro areas. I really miss going in to touch, see, and listen to components, especially speakers!

Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices.
I haven’t noticed any issues in fact, I’ve noticed prices going down or at least stabilizing as inventory levels regain ground.
