Cary cad 120s bias meters ?
Use the left and right line levels to give your master control volume knob a usable range. The way you have it set up now you run the risk of over driving your amp which could cause speaker damage. 
Looking for removable ground pin connector?
You can always just disconnect the ground wire internally within the plug itself. 
Speed Control
AC motors are sync to the line frequency not the voltage. Line frequency in the US is highly regulated and controlled and does not deviate as much as line voltage. If you use the Platter Speed test record and associated mobile app, you can set you...

A SDS is a great unit for equalizing the variances in pulley, platter and belt machine tolerances. Very few people who run SDS have them set for exact 60 hz and achieve exact 33 1/3 speed. You situation is completely normal. 
Tube Amp with Balance Controls - Does it exist?
You can also just buy line level attenuators that attach to the amps rac inputs. 
Dynavector 20X2 vs Ortofon 2M Black
You can always send your pre back to Cary and have them install a pair of Lundalh step up transformers which will allow you to use mc cartridges. Since the transformers are internally installed, there is no need for an extra pair of interconnects....

Faceplate & Handles for Audio Research Classic 60
That's great news about the faceplate. Since the handles contain no lettering or silk screening, they can be easily painted or better yet, anodized.

Why only one amp? How do you know that the replacement amp is from the same production run? Having a pair of mono amps that do not have consecutive serial numbers may devalue resale.

Fine Sound Group, who owns ARC, Wadia, Sonus Faber, McIntosh and Sumiko also owns the Asian distributor Fine Sound Asia located in Hong Kong. You are effectively dealing with the owners of ARC. Have your dealer demand a replacement amp be provided...

Forget the loaner amp, ask for a complete refund. If I dropped $25,000 for a pair of brand new amps that were defective from day 1 and with no resolution in sight, I would not hesitate to go down to my dealer and demand a complete refund.
