PreAmp Math
I would recommend the B&K PT-3 or 5. The 3 can be had for 2 or 3 hundred used and sounds great. 
sub woofer and tubes
I don't see much of a problem but I would use the main outs with "Y" cables and it should be crossed over as low as possible to keep it from being sloppy. 
ARC LS-25II and phono section
LS means line stage the SPs have phono. 
What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
At this time I am using a cheapy to get me by until I find a better one. It is a B&K PT-3. It sounds decent, very laid back but not very detailed. I had the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and sold it. And I said most of the companies you listed now of...

What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
I can't stand dual volume controls myself and do not need or want balance control. And to not have remote capabilities to me is super bad. There is no reason I can see for not having a remote control. There are ways to implement it without affecti... 
how did this happen?
Yes. I have had my preamp turn itself all the way up when I removed a record from the TT and there was a lot of static. I have a friend that has had it happen to him also. 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
It's true Zaikesman. You will not change my mind. Unless the power cord has some sort of filter or power conditioner to clean up the electrical, there can be no difference in sound. And then it would be slight. I don't doubt that if I or anyone el... 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
It's impossible if the power cord is of the correct size. 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
