Audio Research or Luxman?
elliottbnewcombjr  We used to sell the Chase RLC-1 Remote Line Controller years ago. It was fine for most applications but really weakened the bass especially when using phono. And even more so with a tube preamp.

Alps is not the only company making volume controls and even if they were, they have modern equivalents. I recently replaced a worn out Spectrol wire wound VC with a Penny and Giles with great success. I would look at the Khozmo line.https://www.k... 
Dustcover Blues
Rumble filter?  
Blue Lights
Blue lights cause cancer I’ve heard.  
PS Audio FR-30 Speaker...
The speakers will be closer to $30.000. 
AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL
We sold VTL many years ago. They were a pain to deal with. 
Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass.
Loved the album, hated the over production. 
Cat Scratch Fever?
Calling someone a moron while misspelling "Believe" is ironic.

Music bleeding at zero volume
Volume controls do wear. I have an older Krell KBL that has the same problem. This is not a definite answer but a possibility.  
Take that to good will
And while you're at it throw out all of that outdated tube stuff with it along with the vinyl and CDs. 
Why is black so popular for components?
I generally dislike black components because it obscures the details of the faceplates.  
Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years??
No. They've gotten worse. 
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
I use two Velodyne DD-15's with no xover for the mains. I can turn them off with the remote if I want to but usually keep the on. 
Amp repair cost — is this right?
I replaced around 45 caps with Nichicons, a few resistors and two bridge rectifiers in my Threshold T-200 for less than 100.00 in parts from Mouser and Digikey.
