Amp for Vandersteen Wood Quatros
Aronsss - Thank you for your comments about Quicksilver. After posting here I found a thread on another forum; there seems to be a number of folks that like the Shindo pre/Quicksilver amp combo with the Wood Quatros. That is a combination that I w... 
Speaker suggestions at around $30k
Verity Amadis. Reason - meets all of your criteria. 
Armoire between speakers
Excellent suggestion from Mezmo! 
TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range?
2nd the recommendation for the Well Tempered Amadeus for a table below your price range. In your price range, I recommend the Dynavector DV500 Amadeus, or even better, the Ayre-DPS. 
Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000
The Rega RS-3 is excellent. 
Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000
2nd the rec for Sonus Faber! 
The Ultimate DAC for Approx $10,000
I have heard the Debussy A/B'd against the Acoustic Plan DAC with its optional external power supply upgrade. No contest - the Acoustic Plan combo was far superior. 
Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500
Another vote for the Rega RS1. Incredibly musical speaker. 
Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
The Jolida JD9 is a very good sounding and good quality phono stage. I use it together with a Shindo Aurieges-L linestage and the musical result is outstanding. It also paired very nicely with the Shindo's predecessor - a Quicksilver linestage. 
Suggestion for Anthem P5 Amp Stand
Box Furniture. Excellent looking and sounding. Anthony, the owner of the company, also makes audio racks and the wood enclosures for DeVore Fidelity speakers.

Chashas1 - No harm, no foul, no worries! Happy Listening! ;-> 
What's the best Tube DAC you have heard?
If you have the opportunity to hear one, the new Acoustic Plan DAC is the best tube DAC I have heard. Actually it is the best DAC of any kind I have heard.

More importantly than our different tastes is the fact that we all hear differently from each other. I have the MCD500 in one of my better systems and it more than holds it own (for digital, of course) amongst other higher end gear, i.e., Well Tem... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 and Vivid V1.5
