Tube Integrated in Home Theater?
Totally get where you're at as i had the same dilemma. In the end I came to the conclusion that I really wasn't willing to constantly change tubes or cables etc. and the most important need for the tube sound was for my jazz vinyl listening. I wen... 
Surround back spkrs in 7.1 vs 5.1 surround spkrs
as it was explained to me, in the 7.1, all 7 engage but if only 5.1, your processor duplicates the surrounds onto the back speakers---if you have a 7.1 soundtrack( good luck finding one) and play on 5.1 it'll eliminate the back tracks and only pla... 
geniuses help- pre into pre--gonna blow up?

No room for my REL Storm II
i use the velodyne dd-15 in a 18x26 x 8 room for ht and music and its super for low frequency and deep bass -i prefer it to the rel in my system--would recommend you consider the dd series---takes up little room and lots of flexibility--enjoy 
McIntosh MC207 or MC402 w/MC205??

Dynavector 10x5 cartridge.....with which table ?
Hey back adam...yes, the rig is compatible and actually favors MM ( as you prob. know you can simply switch arms on the scout and have your alternate arm equipped with a MM or aMC and mac favors MM but i'm hunting an audio research ph5 or 7 to imp... 
Dynavector 10x5 cartridge.....with which table ?
depends a bit on style of music you listen to- i have the vpi scout and had a dyna 10x5-it was very good,but i listen mostly to 50's jazz and both vpi and dyna recommended i switch to the dv20h which was quite a move up for that use. Call them--th... 
velodyne DD hook up
rca single from pre-out to y at sub in---no problems and sound quality and speed great but if you're running 15 feet or more to your sub you should consider balanced xlr 
what is a right IC for my current setup
second the cable company- demo first-but if you like krell and cardas, you prob. will like cardas neutral and you'll find au 24 and sr precision to be too warm( i love them both in my system but i like warmer more musical) --you might like the sr ...

Soapy Residue from VPI Cleaner?

welcome to the game-read all you can and demo everything--it seems you already decided to go ht route- that was my most diffcult decision as i use it 75% tv and hd tivo and 25% vinyl 50's jazz---i started with the cremonas, later added 4 auditors ...
