What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
  @mahgister, Påques joyeuses, Mon ami! Plein de chocolat pour Pâques!!!  
Using external DAC with preamp with built-in DAC
Yes, Barnabas. It will work.  
Any Audio Enthusiasts in Alabama?
@jafant , Happy Good Friday to you.

When our kids were younger, my wife would make ’feetloaf’ Shape them like feet cut off at the ankles, used sliced onion for toenails and poured the sauce over the ankles to ooze down. They loved it, especially around Halloween. And @yesiam_a_pir... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
Just went to YouTube to hear Edith Piaf. She sounds not unlike an operatic munchkin.  
Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience.

New buy, no return policy
Always nice to read a happy ending!  
New buy, no return policy
I would have gone with the full price option, if anything. A $100 mistake is a lot easier to digest than a $1000 mistake.  
polishing pins of NOS tubes
I hope by ’corroded’ you mean ’tarnished’. If that is what you mean, a small strip of metal cleaning/polishing cloth should work, followed by a cleaning with 91%+ alcohol. Loop the cloth around a pin, pinch it with tweezers, and clean with an up...

@rsf507 , Shipping to customer is $900. It seems to me that being a high priced speaker, your dealer would be happy to bring them to you for a demo to make a potential sale.
