Tube Amps for Revel Salons
Look into Parasound JC1's. 
Best iPad Software for Digital Streamer
Another vote for Sonos. 
would 50 feet speaker wires be harmful to amp?
The impedance swings of your speaker is much more challenging to your amplifier than any additional loss that a cable may add. 
Top or best amps for merlin vsm
If I had Merlin speakers there are only a few amps which I would pair them with due to my experience with them. I would absolutely put Joule at the top of that list. I've also heard them with Atma-Sphere amps which I would be a very close second. ... 
How do good car amps sound?
There are some outstanding car audio products which do all the same things that audiophile home amps do, you just need to know where to look.Check out brands like Audison and Sinfoni, both which are heavily biased into Class-A operation. 
Mcintosh 601's vs Classe CA-M600's
The JC-1's are absolutely in the same class as the amps you mention. Don't let their price tag fool you.Yes I am a current JC-1 owner, and have owned amps from Mark Levinson, Classe, Linn, Pass Labs, Ayre, and a few more I can't think of at the mo... 
Classe CA-M600 vs Parasound JC-1

PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
It doesn't make a difference in cables or fuses. Electrons do not care what arrow direction a manufacturer may put on a label. 
Krell fpb300/evo420e vs pass x350.5 any opinions?
What are you looking to improve from your current sound? All the amplifiers listed above are fantastic. The Pass amps will not have the tremendous bottom end of the Krell amps (nobody does bass like Krell for that matter), but do other things a bi... 
Preamps built Into DACs
Digital volume controls are much more troubling in my mind, as the only way to reduce volume is to start discarding data. 
Preamps built Into DACs
Threads like this make me laugh.Even if you choose to go "no preamp"... there is still a preamp involved!! It's just a lower quality preamp, tagged onto the digital circuitry, sharing the same power supply as the digital section. No thanks!Do you ...
