Remote Volume Control for a Sub Woofer
You need to step up to a REL G series or No. 25. On the fly adjustment from your chair   https://rel.net/shop/powered-subwoofers/reference-series/g1-mark-ii/    
Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?
Classic. Gym guy need to work on his lower legs, and maybe boasts about his setup. Bike guy probably has a low end setup, because he blows his cash on bike stuff and audio guy probably has hypertension/cholesterol issues and trolls forums threads.  
Which one is better tube tuner or Digital tuner?

For lovers of the 1961 West Side Story soundtrack lp.
For lovers of WSS AND Jazz- Oscar Peterson Trio I have the mono version. A great album to spend and evening with. You can envision  scenes from the movie while Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen fill your room with beautiful music.

LP Vinyl: Quality, Pressing, Label, Weight, Where to Buy ???
Do the discog research, if you're set on getting period presses  to justify  possibly spending more for a quality pressing. Get ready to do some eye squinting to reference the deadwax. It's all in those often hard to decipher etchings to determin... 
Lifespan of components?
"I just wonder if there will be FM radio; my concern is that when I kick the bucket my kids will be thrilled at the first $100 that is offered to them for the tuner." Zovato, FM, like OTA TV will always be around. Listenable music is the challen... 
All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music
stereo5- That exact model was in the garage of my childhood home. My older brother and his friends listened to it while working on his 64 Impala.   He always had to turn the dial because mom didn't approve of those Beatles and Stones degenerates...

Try a sub a third in the back
For years I used a single REL  a few feet BEHIND the listening position, along a long wall, near a corner(speakers are projecting from the short wall).  Much more convincing than the traditional corner behind one of the front speakers.  YMMV. I i...
