8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
I had 8-track built into my Sound Design all in one stereo back in 1976. I used to find QUAD 8-tracks in the cutout bins all of the time all around San Diego County. They were fascinating to listen to on a regular 2-track player. Especially the Is... 
Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound?

Howdy, I recently scored a beautiful SonoruS Audio modified ReVox PR99 MKI R2R deck. It is a 2-track machine and runs at 15 ips. I am absolutely floored by its sound. So quiet and so beefy and full sounding music from tapes. I also own a nice viny... 
Did Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" blow up my woofer?
I highly recommend the KAB RF-1. It is unique and does more than your average rumble filter. Check it out on his website. I have had one in my analog chain since about 2011.  Can't live without it since I have two subs which I run with my vinyl. I...

Prima Luna Integrated - EL34, KT88, KT150, Brimar AU - My experience
I am a 99.9% vinyl listener through my HP Integrated into Vandersteen 3A Signature speakers. I feed two subs via a splitter on the line level output of the Primaluna. A MartinLogan Descent I sub and a JL Audio f112 v2 sub. Sounds phenomenal.
