Need suggestions on preamp
Go to Audio Science Review and read the test report on the LRS.   
Isolation transformer question
It will do nothing! Your gear has power supplies that adequately filter the AC and produce pure DC to the circuitry.   
Sherwood S5000II speaker connection question also recap
I wouldn't connect the left and right grounds together.   
Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers
I have Bolero's, Santana 1's, Segovia's and Stonehenge 1's. I wouldn't trade any of them for Klipsch.  
Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers
I own several vintage Altec speakers. They are much better balanced tonally than Klipsch. Efficiency is high enough to work well with low-power tube amps.

This is a good example of GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome. The shiny new toy always gives greater joy than the old battered toy! This is why audiophiles should get married so their wives can control their spending!  
Upgrade speakers or DAC
Speakers!

Two seasoned audiophiles couldn't tell the cheap from the expensive cable! What more proof does anyone need!
