Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
IF it did cost that much to get great or even good sound, I'd be on a headphone rampage.. I want to add some heavy HEAVY curtains the full width of my room in front of 2 36" french door..  It was close to 5K for really good curtains runners, motor... 
Speaker cable length
Yea about that.. If the cable that's hooked to only one of two main speakers has a so so cable, or for that matter both main speaker monitors.  Then throw three parts of cable building 101 out the window.. You kind of get what you get.. And deserv...

@bkeske interestingly, everything i’ve heard says the complete opposite - that the IC’s should be kept as short as possible while speaker cables - which carry a very weak signal, can be much longer. <<<<<<<<<<<<... 
Anyone converted to refurbished Garrard from a good belt drive?
OR you can find one for 350.00 - 750.00 USD (401 EU, 220 50hz), buy a few parts to convert to 110-120 (75.). The 60 hz top platter is best replaced by a good aftermarket. 300-2000.00. They very that much.I found three (3) in England on 3 different...

I've heard and seen a lot of systems with equipment between the speakers. It shouldn't be stacked "between" the speakers. If you go low and against the front wall, there is nothing wrong with that.. HECK just low and streamline works perfect for... 
Killer used integrated for <$500?
You might get close with a Zpre3 Pre and a Zpre V3. 2 channel power amp for close to the 500.00 mark.. If that is an option. Nice package, great options.. Vary compact too. As small as most integrated packages.Regards 
300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life?
I have NEVER heard a manufacture tell anyone to leave the "Power Valves" on.. EVER.. Then again, what do I know..The little signal valves, I've seen stay on for months at a time..  Some designs are VERY low voltage and the valves last 15-20,000 ho...

300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life?
No it's not a good idea. You need to be there or at least in listening range.. It's just the nature of the beast. Those are exposed bulbs, Valves, or tubes.. Be wise. They don't always fail and keep it in the glass, get my meaning..I've seen an va... 
Strange buzz issue!
If you used a ground isolator, the PS ground should fix the problem. It is the voltage offset between the two PS on the two pieces. What is common without a common ground, the audio circuit ground. You may have ran a wire but it was not to the rig... 
Strange buzz issue!
Run a good ground wire between the two. Cost 1.00 usd. crimp an eyelet or spade on either end of a good copper # 16. Mount it direct, chassis to chassis.Regards
