audiofun, Thanks and how does Luxman EQ-500 compare to others you have and why should one change the fuses?. Pardon me if it is a silly question.  
Help me design for both music and TV around Legacy Audio's Wavelet + Aeris
Yes you are correct the dealer told me the same yesterday. But now I have two amps and one pair of speakers.Seeing other threads seems like I need a high quality switch that both amps connect to and to which the speakers connect to.

I never purchased any pre anything before. Wondering about the value for $ and if I can even perceive the difference audibly speaking. For example Luxman EQ-500 vs Parasound JC3+ vs Project Tube Box DS2 . Will I perceive a difference with my setup?.

photon46, I am using the 2M Ortofon Bronze 
Decware Mini Torii single ended tube amp OR Wyred 4 sound SX1000 mono blocks ( Class D )?
Best is to do an A/B test and see if for the music and listening levels and distance you sit from speakers you notice a difference?. I mean 600Watts vs hand full of SET watts !!. You can use this https://geoffthegreygeek.com/calculator-amp-speaker...

Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre
I do not need continuous 200w class A. I am looking for continuous 35w to 50w class A but the amp needs to supply the transient load of 200w. I have no idea how amps work. If the 50w to 150w swing would mean engaging class B then it is fine by me....
