Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
Absolutely, but only when asked. I’m not even sure that some of my friends that ask truly believe me. The brands of equipment that many of us have, the average person has NEVER heard of in life. Who really knows, they may think names like Pass Lab... 
Pass Then vs. Pass Now
ANY  of the newer Pass Labs amps are better than ANY of his old amps.  I live 30mins from the factory.  He told me himself!

Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
The PS Audio cables are sleeping giants.  They never got the accolades they deserved.  lots of cooper in those cables.  Great highs and mods, and the most amazing bottom end of any non network cable I have heard that are 5 times the price.  
Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp
Any of the Pass Labs  XA amps would be a great fit for your system. You can get one here and other sites and the resale value is great in case you decide to go tube.  You would be doing yourself and injustice if you don’t try a Pass Labs amp.
