All NEW T+A Solitaire S Series Speakers For 2022 : SPEAKERS Like NO Others !
@thyname I do have $40k to spend but it won't be on speakers. 1) I highly doubt you have $40,000 to spend on anything. Totally fine. Most people don’t.

Eric Bogle – Scraps Of Paper (Flying Fish 1980) This album made me laugh and cry. Excellent.  
Hey Sota - Whatever Happened To Customer Service?
I met the SOTA folks at AXPONA and they were extremely nice. Everyone's busy.   
Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up
Funny you should bring this up. While the system sounds great after 20 minutes, I too have noticed that things get sublime after about 4 hours. All analog and tubes here.  
End Game Turntable suggestions
Consider the Merrill-Williams REAL. A number of dealers were using them to demo their equipment at AXPONA and it sounded very detailed and tuneful. You might also look at Clearaudio and Acoustic Signature.

L-pad question
It should work. All you are doing is attenuating the voltage supplied to the tweeter. The internal crossover will still apply the attenuated signal to the tweeter. Make sure the L-pad has the power handling necessary.  
Silver interconnect cable from Xsangsane - please advise on plugs?
I'd go with your friend's recommendation.

You sure it's not either cable TV as @fuzztone suggested, or an internet (Wi-Fi) modem nearby?
