Superphon pre needs service
Stan is the former owner of Superphon. I am sure he would be glad to help you. I would bet if you ask him, he will modify it and make it even better. 
Best Wall-Mountable Speakers
B&W Also makes a wall mounted CDM version also. I think they were intended for home theater, but they are full range I think. You can also wall mount any of their small bookshelf speakers such as the 601 ($450 list) and 302 ($250 Stereophile r... 
Traded the Most ?
I trade interconnects the most. Always willing to try something new and the cost is relatively low. Preamps come in second in terms of affecting the sound of the system as a whole. 
Tube PreAmp Solid State Amp
The combination works great. For example, Blue Circle actually makes a matching tube preamp BC21 and SS power amp BC22 to take full advantage of the strengths of both. Look at Conrad Johnson tube preamps also. 
cj pv10 vs pv12

Best speaker a wife would tolerate

Biwire with diffrent brands?
Why not if it sound good to you. Some folks use same wire, but use double runs to bass. MIT Bi-Wire cables have specific high and low frequency connections.

Hum from Florescent light
I leaned something also, thanks guys. Never had a bad hum problem that a power conditioner did not fix, so I thought that some little filter might work, since he said "cheap and easy". BY THE WAY I USE A BATTERY POWERED LIGHT NEAR MY SYSTEM. Only ...

Yes, a humidifier will add enough moisture to the air to remove the static in the air and your carpet.
