Can I have my cake and eat it too or not?
One thing I can think of is using some multi channel analog preamp (like the Parasound P7, Pass Labs XP-30) or old AV processor/receiver with multi channel analog inputs and outputs for master volume control. I believe AV processor/receiver also c...

Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea?
my plan is to connect it to the TapeOut of the preamp and back to an unused Input on the same preamp. Bad idea! If someone accidentally switch to that unused input while the system is on and playing... Plug it into a headphone amp instead.

Two Preamps Into 3 Channel Amp
I am getting some faint buzz from the center channel, but can only hear it about a foot from the tweeter at ear level. One thing you can try to eliminate noise from center channel is insert a Jensen Transformers PI-RX https://www.cs1.net/produc... 
Class A triode - on/off on remote?
Many high end class a preamps don’t have on/off on remotes, and some do (eg. Audio Research).  If ARC does it, why can’t others do it?  Why so difficult to install in a way that don’t hurt SQ? Many high end sport car don’t have automatic trans...

Two Preamps Into 3 Channel Amp
You can use the MCA 325 to power the center channel. But how you connect the front L and R channels? Do you have two pair of front L and R speakers, one pair for HT and the other pair for stereo playback? It is OK if the XLR and RCA is not conne... 
Two Preamps Into 3 Channel Amp
Is it ok to use two preamps with the Anthem MCA 325 amp in this configuration? Not an good idea to connect both RCA and XLR input into a power amp channel without a selector switch. It is possibility to damage the power amp input stage or preamps ... 
Driving different pairs of speakers with different speaker wire lengths
Instead of two stereo power amp, you also can look for some multi-channel power amp to save space. Using four of the channels and leave one channel unused on a 5channel power amp is perfectly ok.  
Music Reference RM-4 Input-Loading and Gain-Select plugs
I beleive you need to take off the top cover of your Music Reference RM-4 pre-preamp and look inside if the gain plug is 30dB, if it is 30dB then you should connect the RM-4 outputs to phono stage MM input, because most MM input of a phono stage ...
