Has anyone on Audiogon listen to Line Magnetic 755
~ $8K per pair. And well worth a serious audition IMHO. 
Need speaker for a small space and close to wall
+1 on the rec for the Rega RS line. Rega speakers, particularly the RS version, are very musical and an excellent value. 
Suggestions on a neutral and powerful integrated..
Another you might want to consider is the GamuT Di150. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Auditorium-23 Solovox Hommage. 
Quality CD player + DAC + pre-amp in one package
Naim Uniti. However, Elizabeth makes a very good point about such combination units.

Teeshot - Congrats on your Basis 2500/Vector 4 purchase! I have that table/arm combo in another system and it is very, very nice. Let us know what cartridge you choose and how it works out for you! 
Phono Pre-Amp Questions
+2 on the Jolida. IMHO it punches way above even its new price point.

Teeshot - Although I cannot answer your exact question about the Dynavector DV500, I can share a related perspective from personal experience. I owned and very much enjoyed the original Amadeus for about 1 year. I then switched to the Dynavector D...

+2 on the Amadeus or Simplex recommendation. Who wants to post the inevitable "+3" and beyond? ;-> 
Turntable Recommendation for Beginner
Strongly 2nd the rec for a Well Tempered Amadeus. 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
I mostly listen to vinyl, but I do listen to CDs/SACDs daily. I prefer listening to CDs/SACDs while working out, and when listening late at night in the (likely) event I fall asleep while listening! Better to wake up to a CD player that has automa... 
Solid State Amplification for Devore Nines?
I used my Nagra PSA with my former Silverbacks, and demoed the Nines with the PSA as well. A very musical pairing with the Silverbacks and Nines IMHO. You should be able to pick up a used PSA in excellent condition for $5K or less.
