Lenth of XLR Cables
 XLR cables are designed for long runs,100' should be no problem...You could also get an inexpensive BluTooth transmitter/reciever set up..I have a $25.00 long range Transmitter streaming from my bedroom(about 30'through walls) to my Quad VA-One s... 
Safe load for tube amp??
I did some digging and found no useable intel..I suggest you post this in Head-fi.org....I do know that Transformer coupled amps like low impedance cans if that helps.. 
Newbie Help Shure HD 535 Earbuds Astell&Kern KANN DAC HELP

Home theater setup recommendations?

Preamp / amplification recommendations for the SF Guarneri Homage Tradition Wenge
Time for you to discover tubes! Maybe a big integrated like a VTL IT-85 or Hybrid(Tube Pre/SS power)...If it must be SS then SimAudio... 
Any comments on my Ayre AX-7e vs Ayre EX-8 vs Simaudio Moon 340i Integrated Amplifiers
Only heard Ayre one time and found it too cool for my taste...BIG fan of SimAudio and I would own them if I ever left tubes again... 
Line out converter
Ok got it...Doesn’t sound like you need the convertor any longer...Deck has direct couple to amps via Pre Outs & Sub out with crossover controls is everything you need.. Basically you have 2 full range signals passed via the PreOuts & a se... 
Line out converter
OP,I'm sorry but I don't follow...If the new deck has PreAmp Out why do you need a converter to interface the amp? Are the 4 wires on the converter speaker wires OR RCA terminated?
