Please identify these NOS 6550s
I wouldn't bother. A new set of 4 matched 6550/KT88 run $120-$200 JJ/Tung Sol/Gold Lion.  
Granite Bases for Vandersteen speakers
Looks good. Can't help thinking the turntable might need better support.

Preamp LR to sub?
If you run one sub temporarily, you should feed it both L+R. Otherwise you’d be only getting half the summed stereo information. In other words, you'll be running as if you'd only one SMS and one sub. 
tube el34 runs hot fan?
Have you used tube power amps before. They run hot. With the lights out, can you see a red glow on the EL34 anodes? If so, it's running "hot" and needs a bias adjustment. 
I think I over treated my room. I can't hear anything.

Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
As you have an Aric pre, why not check in with Aric?

Don't bridge but get speakers with 3dB+ more efficiency.

John Cale ‎– The Academy In Peril [1972] (Edsel 1986 RE)Always a favorite. Not sure why. It's weird in an Andy Warhol way. Excellent recording will show off your rig. "The Philosopher" is stunning.

Amp repair cost — is this right?
@joecasey I've no problem with profit. In the example I used, feel free to give your money away. I work hard for mine. @ptss I ended up hiring a tiler and plumber. Pulled a permit and did the whole thing to a better spec for $9k.
