Does this sound like a good deal?
JBL A170 for $500/pr are contenders! Read HR's review in the November Stereophile!

Try adding some ferrite donuts on the ends of your IC's. speaker cables and power cords. 
Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung
I bought for future use a pair of the best Shuguang 12ax7's. And a pair of 7025's from TAD. Primarily for my Fender Twin Reverb, though I can use them in my Dyna PAS preamp and two Scott integrateds. 
Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!?
+1 big_greg! Get a phono stage (Park Puffin, Schiit Mani ...). Much better than the one in that AVR receiver! 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
The Residents "The Commercial Alblum" - I have a copy! 
Quad Tube Rolling
YES!  
Advice Please On Possible Vandersteen Purchase
$200 for the pair is certainly a good deal!

Underwood core power gold cable
Please lie back on the couch and tell me of these troubling thoughts you've been having - that there is "something" wrong with the stock power cords on your hifi gear! 
WTB JBL speaker
If you can afford them a Paragon or a pair of Hartsfield's would be a smart investment! 
WTB JBL speaker
Go to eBay and enter "jbl c50". There you will find plenty of the best and most desirable vintage JBL's! Even a Paragon ($20K). I personally would buy any of these over ANY present-day JBL! I own C56 Dorian's, L166 Horizon's and 4312's.  
Which AV Receiver?
The rear speakers should also be Klipsch RP series!
