transistor pre with the sound of tubes
Talk to Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection.There's now an "enhanced" version of the Belles Aria preamp, and the Belles Virtuoso preamp may be, or may be soon, available. 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
It strikes me that the one other contender not yet mentioned in this thread is the LKV Veros PWR+.https://www.lkvresearch.com/lkv-veros-power-plus.html It's been very well reviewed, but I don't know how many units are out there in the field. 
True or False?
+1 hshifi.  If you want to hear an improvement, install a Puritan PSM 156. 
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
Color makes a huge different.  Black are $28.50; Red/Black are $2844.00.Littelfuse audiophile fuses are orange, which according to SR is the best color for fuses. 
Tekton versus Klipsch
Fritz Carrera B's performed splendidly with a Modwright 300B HEADPHONE AMP.  That should tell you all you need to know w.r.t. their driveability with the kinds of amps you're looking at.  They also sounded great.

Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD
I presume the H390 is considered a high-current unit, but do we have a measurement of how many amps it puts out? 
Does anyone own the new KLH model 5 speakers?
These are available from Underwood for $1888.  Sound is compared to Harbeth...https://audioge.eu/product/teddy-5cb4bddccf36f  
Does anyone have any recent experience with Kharma loudspeakers?
It would also be a question of the amp(s) used with them.  Even if they erred slightly in the directions outlined by prof, the right amp would ameliorate that.

Classical Music for Aficionados
Listening to Magnard's symphonies 1 and 2 on Hyperion.  He's no Bruckner and no Mahler, but they definitely have their moments.  Apparently he studied under d'Indy and died, rather tragically, at the beginning of WW1.
