what do you use to remove your tubes?
The general rule of thumb is don't get body oil onto the tubes. I've always been able to get a hold of my tubes at the base and gently pull or rock them out. 
Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans.......
Thomastrouble,I forget, what amp are you using with your 1.6's and how many watts per/ch? 
Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans.......
I've tried several expensive (good quality audiophile grade) jumpers that I own with my 1.6's but I still had the best sound by bi-wiring them. 
Solidsteel 5.5 rack: To fill, or not to fill?
I have noticed a difference and fill my stands 100%.BTW; I also own a solidsteel, and use many starsound products. 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
The more power you put into Magnepan the better they sound. I picked up a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 monoblocks (500 watts per ch) and the dynamics of the 1.6 became excellent. I had been using a Krell xi 400. 
Do you power your Class D amp on and off?
I own Wyred 4 Sound and Channel Island monoblocks, and I leave them on 100% of the time unless I'm leaving for several days. 
I need an amp, can any recommend?
Wyred 4 Sound offers many.Huge bang for the buck.Used also on Audiogon. 
Recommendations for a small tube amplifier?
I realize it’s not what you want but I have a fully tweaked out Sophia Baby in great shape that I have in storage with original shipping box etc that I’d let go for $500 plus shipping.I paid $1100+ for it new directly from Sophia.

first sound preamp
A great sounding preamp. Which model are you referring to and exactly what's your question? Several people on Audiogon had or still use this preamp.

Review: Monobloke Woodworking Maple Amp Stand Stand
Does your five sided box silence the hum of your Topaz?How about a picture of the new addition? 
Plinius SB-301. thoughts and opinions?
The Plinius SB-301 is a good amp and can drive any speaker. I owned one a few years ago.Might I suggest you tale a look at Wyred 4 Sound products. There is a lot of bang for the buck there. 
Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's
I used the Krell 400xi with my 1.6's and the 400xi sounded good. I upgraded to the Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 monoblocks and I can't believe how great the music sounds now. All aspects have improved.
