Long time analog user dips his toe in Schiit, Grungnir multibit.
Last week, I listened to Joni's "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter". On "Talk to Me", I felt like Dave (2001 A Space Odyssey) being sucked into the light storm. Soundstage vastly larger than my room. Digital is neat-o. 
Impact of phase inversion by preamp
I have a phase switch on my preamp. It usually has minimal effect. Apparently, you should switch back and forth and use whichever setting results in the best bass. Good first post!

Dunlavy resurrection?
Why not talk to http://www.tyleracoustics.com/. Mr. Tyler already makes some fine speakers and, obviously, has the infrastructure in place. Seems like a natural fit. Good luck!

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt and you need to do it when you install new tubes (tube life is about two years with moderate use). Also, probably a good idea to check bias every six months just to make sure tubes are still working. I traded my Classic 6...

Upscale knows what they're doing so I wouldn't worry (in the short term). At some point, those caps need replacing (I had mine done at the local ARC dealer). Anyway, enjoy that wonderful amp!
