CJ Preamp help please
I upgraded from a pv10 to 17ls about a year ago. I would highly recommend the 17ls much more detailed than the pv10. I have an MF2500, thiel 3.6s with audioquest cables and a phillips cd80 player. 
Old Phillips CD Players

Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv
I have a pair of 3.6's and have never had a problem and I listen quite frequently to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with the digital cannons at fairly high levels. I would call or write Thiel. Good Luck, Chuck 
Tube Preamp.. On or Off?
I have a CJ Premiere 17ls. I leave it in stand-by mode or I turn it off if I am not going to be listening for awhile. Leaving it on will shorten the life of the tubes as you have found out. 
SACD quest
I just saw them for $15.95 last week in Flint Michigan.
