Luxman 505uxii Class A/B operation
According to my observation, class A power of an class AB amplifier is approximately 10% of its idle power consumption. The 505uXII idle power consumption (no signal) is 85 watts. I estimate its Class A power to be about 4 to 5 watts per channel. ... 
XLR to RCA conversion
I am wondering if the PC-2XR will work. I think it should work and if you order from PE it comes with a 60 day no hassle return policy.

Harman kardon a300 rebuild
Well, everyone starts as a beginner. 😊 According to the schematic I would use 100μF for C23 and C24A, higher voltage rating wouldn’t hurt either. I don’t know why 650Ω and not 470Ω, you can try both for best performance. BTW, since you are rebui... 
Harman kardon a300 rebuild
Please refer to the schematic, There are total of three filter capacitors in its power supply: one 100µF 200V can, one 50µF 400V + 100µF 200V can and one 3X 40µF can. Are you talking about the 50µF 400V + 100µF 200V can? It is two capacitors ins...

Rotel RA-1572 sub out?
@panaseef AFAIK, the two sub-outputs output a mono (sum of left and right) full-range signals without filtering, you’ll need to use an external low-pass filter or the built-in filter that comes with the active subwoofer.  
Tracking down a hum.
Hum is present in both channels and pulses. Failing rectifier maybe? Sounds like low frequency oscillations associated with humming! There could be many things causing this problem, faulty rectifier, diode, regulator IC, capacitor or bad solder...
