Using one set of speakers with AV receiver and Lamp amplifier
It may work. What happens if you are listening to your tube amp,and you accidentally sit on the HT receiver remote and power it up?? I’m not a tech,but I’m guessing this would not end well.  Why take the chance?   
Electro-Harmonix/New Sensor bad news and a saving grace...
That’s great news for your customers.  Thanks for building some fantastic gear!  P.S. The Linlai’s are really opening up in the Motherlode II.   
Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes
Before all this started,I had scored enough tubes to run 2 tube preamps for the next 15 years.  Worst case,I may end up having to eat them. Which signal tubes are the tastiest??   
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
I’m trying to understand,so correct me if I’m wrong.  1. Music will be reprocessed to a different format (Tekton) 2. Music will then be played back on a proprietary “box” (Tekton) Am I way off the mark?   
My system is sounding better and better
Your system,room and brain have achieved synergy? Ask not why,just enjoy it until that nagging itch strikes.   
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I now have about seven hours of play time.  I sat and listened for 5 minutes after the first 1/2 hr. My first impressions were exactly what I was told to expect,dark, no sparkle. I also noticed a very narrow soundstage.  I’ve been running mid 60’s... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

Favorite Preamps without phono section
I own the Motherlode II,and the Unlimited. Wonderful preamps,and Aric is great to work with. Although,the OP really should state a budget,sonic requirements as well.

I just checked tracking. My tubes are in IL. Hopefully I’ll have them by the end of the week.   
Sub questions
I have down firing subs(HSU) in my listening room. The room has HW floors. I do have small pieces of carpet under each sub. I found it better for my room,and ears. @johnnycamp5 summed it up. Enjoy the new sub. What ever you end up doing, I think y... 
Aftermarket Upgrade Question
Aside from cartridge upgrade, I would tend to agree with others about isolation.    
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
Here’s an honest look at myself: I appreciate good sound. I don’t have any kind of engineering background. Some acoustic things I understand,however,many I don’t. I can hear the end result,but I can’t tell you how to achieve that. You on the other... 
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
In my opinion,all things regarding sound reproduction matter. Especially the room. Why did you think I was only speaking about gear? I enjoy trying different ways to couple,decouple, isolate components. Therefore,until I stop enjoying the differen... 
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
If you have reached your destination in this hobby, congratulations. I will more than likely never reach a destination. For me,that’s part of the enjoyment. I don’t find it frustrating,I find it invigorating.
