Preamps with variable gain... pros and cons?
the best budget preamp in that issue is mccormack micro line drive that has three active modes of operation 0dB, 6dB and 12 dB of gain and completely passive where you can use it with no power supply.i did not research a tube preamps on that issue...

What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3?
Usually if the unit doesn't sound OK with stock tubes and "needs" NOS it is poorly engineered unit. It's the same thing as I could say that I can play soccer good in Adidas boots but cannot play with Nike.Stand-by current is good enough for tubes....

If you get VTL MB450 which is a-bit cheaper than Pass X350 you will certainly benefit. It can deliver plenty of power, can be switched to triode operation and stable to 1.5 Ohm loads. 
I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and
This joke is somehow related to many our audio problems!A jew comes to see a Rabbi and complains--Rabbi, what should I do? My chicken are dying one by one everytime!Rabbi seeks the answer in talmud and replies:--Try to wash them all in ocean water...

What pre amp to use for Cary 805?
you probably had an impedance mismatch. as far as i know all pass amps are low input impedance and tube preamps have high output impedance. you should be ok staying with line3/cary805. 
Vandersteen question.
What I've heard in comparison of these speakers with no sub used is that 1C has more open and full midrange, has better dissapearance effect than 2Ce while 2Ce has its bass a-bit deeper but not enough to be a full range speaker.Getting 1C with 2wq...
