Looking for low-watt tube amp suggestions.
However, I would choose the Glow easily over the FX10.

Yep, and then upgraded it with the Sophia cap package. There's just more...more with the sound. It's surprising what comes out of my Abbys. I also listened to the FX10 and it was pleasant in a very colored sort of way. The Glow was great in a limi...

I compared the Glow Audio to the Sophia Baby I own and use daily. 
Best beer
Any of the Missoula Montana micros but as far as the best name "Moose Drool" leads the pack IMO. 
how do you level a turntable?
If you can remove the TT feet, you can replace them with adjustable ones. If you can't remove them, maybe you can use some other form of adjustable isolation. There's also TT wall shelves. 
Percentage of cable cost
Ten percent works in my HT but in my analog 2-channel it's closer to twenty five percent. 
Thoughts on Amperex PQ tubes
I just put some Amperex/RCA ecc88 in my phono stage. My wife and I are extremely happy with the sound. There's more clarity between instruments and vocals, a little more forward presentation , increased soundstage, smooth and very musical (my wife... 
One sub or two?
I just added one sub to my analog system. I can't locate it or specifically hear it. However, if I turn it off, I notice it and the missing LF. I have a fair sized room 17d x 35w w/14ftcathedral ceilings, a 8ft wall behind and another 17 x 35 kitc... 
Do glass shelves affect sound Quality?
Herbie's stuff is very effective. Tenderfeet under my TT, various ISP-cups and blls under my amp & phono stage and a way excellent mat on my TT. I've been using Steve's isolation stuff for years.

One of my favorites from way back to now. Have a great time! 
Automatic Turntables
My Mitsubishi LT 30 has all those things and sounds great. Mine has had some upgrades (Litz wire tone arm cable, WBT RCAs connectors, new caps in the motor for more torque & better speed stability, extra damping). It couldn't be easier to set ... 
Best vintage Sansui integrated
My second system has a Sansui AU D-11 (re-capped and upgraded) feeding EPI 100s (refoamed). Very nice pairing. 
using a sub with full range versus or monitors ?
Okay, here's another question. I use Cain & Cain Abby's and a Sophia Baby. I have a NSM 15EXP arriving tomorrow. I will be attempting to make the blend being discussed. Question: run both separate from the speaker taps or use the sub's interna... 
How goofy is this?
I always promote connecting to HF posts and jumping to LF as explained to me by Stuart Marcus (Vampire wire) and in Tannoy speaker manuals. 
Cause of Muddled Middle?
Doug is generally correct. Better stuff usually equals better sound. Room treatment doesn't work a miracle, only provides the opportunity to get the best from what you have. I also agree that in your case I'd look o upgrade the speakers.
