How many spacers for a dynavector xx-2 mk2 on a rega.
Since your tonearm does not have the ability for fine adjusting VTA, I would suggest setting the tonearm spacers so that the cartridge top is parallel to the platter.  If the stylus is properly affixed to the cantilever, this should get you very c...

For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp?
IME, it depends on the tube amp.  With a push pull KT88 based amplifier, I would say that a tubed pre-amp contributes more to the tube sound, but change the amp to a single ended triode, all bets are off.   
Kronzila DXL or Allnic A-10000 DHT?
The Allnic A-100000 is extremely rare with less than 5 sold in North America.  I am not a fan of "KR" anything, horrible customer service and some reliability issues from their Czech factory.  Allnic has a very good reputation and has credible NA ...

What direction is VPI headed?
@vpi the HW-19’s motor replacement can be sourced from Hurst and any competent acrylic manufacture can manufacture an arm board without breaking a sweat.  When a product has been out of production for closing in on 20 years, a manufacture must cut... 
On/Off Switch
The same argument can be made for internal wiring.  People spend thousands on expensive speaker cables only to find out that their speakers are internally wired with lamp cord.   
Come on people....BASS!
OP, your claim is bassless 
Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked)
Your alignment should be close to correct with your arm parallel to the record surface. If it is not, then you are not measuring correctly or your cartridge is defective. If "close" is your objective, then I agree with the above statement.  
Come on people....BASS!
Bass is a fish. If English is your second language, it’s an easy mistake.  Why sweat the small stuff?  BTW, English spelling is hard.
