Integrated Amp with EQ Loop
If a receiver is OK, check out the Outlaw Audio RR2160MKII. https://outlawaudio.com/shop/stereo-receivers/56-rr2160mkii-stereo-receiver.html  
Amp / Preamp match?
Although the Adcom GFP-750 output impedance vary depend on volume control setting in passive mode, I can’t see any mismatch to a Proceed Amp 2 with 100kΩ impedance and 1.2V sensitivity on unbalanced input. I can’t comment on "sonic match" since it... 
ARC 75 SE Bias Issues
Not a reference 75SE owner. If no problem biasing V1 and V2,  my suggestion is swap V1 and V2 to V3 and V4, if the problem follow the tube, you have a bad tube, if bias adjustment cannot be done only on V3 position then it could be a bad potentiom...

Download a service manual and check out the "trouble shooting" and "error code" section for help. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1102790/Pioneer-Dv-38a.html#manual  
Signal Degradation Balanced Output
I was using it from the amp's output to be converted to a balanced line level that is then sent to the sub. Same problem. Have you tried turn off the subwoofer instead of disconnect it from the amp output?

Over loading?
The peak current value of an amplifier is the maximum amount of current which output is capable of sourcing for brief periods of time. Instead, you should look at the maximum power consumption specs to determine if a 15amp line is sufficient. For...

KAB RF-1 subsonic filter
I thought KAB recommend install the RF-1 between the phono stage and preamp, so the RF-1 will be out of the chain when playback other sources. https://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/rf1.htm The KAB RF-1 is easy to install. Place it in between the ph... 
Why have capacitors improved so much over the years?
I can't understand either why manufacturers go through all the trouble of designing a piece of gear & then at the most critical point insert cheap caps. When design engineers select components/parts for their circuitry, it is their responsi...
