When to power off a tube amp?
BTW, you can use different tubes as long as they are the same type!

Replace 12AU7 with 6SN7 ?
I could be wrong but I thought the 12 and 6 mean the voltage of those tubes! 
Advent Model 300 tuner/receiver
If it works and you want to sell it let me know! I have one and it is a great little receiver! 
McCormack , Aragon or Forte
Years ago I had a Forte model 3 (200 watts)with Dahlquest DQ 10's and it was outstanding!It was a Fet amp with tubelike sound! 
Shipping from Canada
Never a problem with Canada! I would never chance China! 
Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line.
Jadem6,You are lucky that that works for you. The only problem with that is that having all high current stuff on one side can trip the main breaker. The main panel is 240 volts,120 on each side! Like I said it's great that it works for you! 
I just installed new furnance and AC
If it bothers you that much shut it down when you are listening to your music! My furnace is real loud but luckily it is on the other end of my house! You would think in this day and age they would make things like that quiet! 
Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line.
What you have now is correct,you will have a dedicated 20 amp circuit! I don't see what a sub- panel would accomplish. A ground and a neutral are a horse of another color! At the main coming into your panel they are still tied in together. 
To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen
I have owned both the 3's and the 2's. I liked the 2's much better,I could never get the 3's to sound right in my listening room! Placement is very critical with Vandy's! If possible see if the dealer will lend you a pair for a home trial! 
Luxman PD-121
Just get a strobe disc if you want to check the speed. You can download from Vinyl Engine or Extreme phono for free! 
Tandberg 2075 or Mcintosh MAC 4200. Better?
Tandberg folded many years ago,McIntosh is still in business,so for that reason I would go with Mac! As for which is better sounding it would be very hard to find someone who has both of these older units to compare! 
Why no soud in Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE preamp
Just give Anthem a call instead of spinning your wheels!
