Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
If it sounds good to you i would not mess with the caps at all because you can completely change the balance of the amplifier and you may or may not get better sound an easier way would be to swap new old stock tubes into the existing circuit and ... 
I really could use some help here.....
I have always found the most musical way to hook up a sub is with speaker level connections that way when you dial in the sub level it will change with changes in the volume control i hope that helps. 
Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth
I would go for the volti it will not be too much for your room because a large speaker loafing along is better than a small one straining to fill the space. 
Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?
I find that i need to listen more during the bad times good music on a good system seems to calm me down. 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
I would say that it could be a setup factor or you could be experiencing a mismatch with your phonostage. 
Mirage M1 Speakers
I would use a stone or raised wood platform but the stone will work wonders the raised wood platform will be harder to achieve but you can tailor the amount of absorption based on what you fill the platform with. 
Will a digital transport burn my Dac
No but it sounds like the connection or link between the two was not making the proper link so what happens is nasty distorted sound. 
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?

Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.

Paradigm or JL subwoofer
I would add another of your existing subwoofers instead of a complete overhaul save yourself a lot of time and money. 
Vintage vs New
True vintage speakers will kill any new model but you have to go way back to prior to 1965 and buy the impossibly large full range systems of that era and when you do you will not want to listen to anything else. 
Clean AC power
There are ways of checking how clean your power is but the fact that you are so far away from everything and everyone else helps a lot as well as having your own dedicated transformer. Your power should be just fine in all of these cases unless yo... 
Stacking gear no more rack space does it affect sound quality
Keep the digital with the digital and the analog with the analog gear and you should be ok and please get rid of any discs and footers they will only thin out the sound too much a good rubber foot is all you need. 
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
You want a big full range high sensitivity high impedance system for a good low volume experience or a high quality two way with a good subwoofer where you can adjust the bass for any volume level so you can have a full sound at low volumes but it...
