Blu-Ray, SACD & NetFlix player?
Most of the high end Sony blu ray units do. However, sony units will not show NetFlix closed captioning titles. 
Classe move to China
I cannot find a company in China to make my buggy whip. Perhaps a USA company could do so, but they also turned me down. Seems the EPA and the FDA has a rule against such devices. PETA is suing me. What's a guy who wants to create a few jobs. Ever... 
Building a System around Magnepan Speakers...
Mags require a certain 'room'. Check if your intended room will work, otherwise you will be very disappointed. Check out Jim Smith's writings, he was the best person to know what kind of room and setup is required. 
What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated
Cayin is the way to go, great sound, great value. 
How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one
I second the Cayin, great sound, great value. 
Changer
The way to go is a refurb sony 595, often available on SonyStyle for $60. What have you got to lose? Just money as the sound equals $1K rigs. It does SACD too.

proac 1SC's will do the trick, used, of course.

Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl
Stay where you are, and don't invest another dime in analog. Start to sell of the vinyl and when the last lp is gone, sell the gear. I agree with you about bluray is the future with more refined dac's to come. Move to better speakers first. When M...
