Donjr-I don't have these recordings, which is the better recording regarding sound quality? Are there any bootleg recordings you recommend?

Many great choices, thanx for sharing. Donjr-Presence is severely overlooked but Physical Graffiti edges out IV as my personal favorite. 
Analytical or Musical Which way to go?

Rita Wilson-"AM/FM"
I'm glad Greg Brady voted for her instead of Marsha or his conniving girlfriend for Westdale High's new cheerleader. I will pass on her recordings since Johnny Bravo wouldn't approve of them! 
Idol fans weigh in
NOT a fan of the show! It's just a form of entertainment for people that don't take music seriously. The media has tried to make it important when it's just a rehash of Star Search or previous amateur talent shows. 
Catchy tunes that sound great?
Mungo Jerry-In The Summertime 
CD player to compete with my vinyl rig?
Consider some Italian made players. A used Audia Flight Three and Northstar Sapphire can be found for $1k. Audio Analogue has the Crescendo for $895 new and several used models that would be around your price point.

upgrading VPI turntable
I would not invest $1500 on a 15 year old? turntable. If you like the current VPI sound put the $1500 towards the VPI Classic. 
Integrated AMplifier to Pair with Dynaudio Focus 1
I would consider the Quad 909 with a 99 preamp. $1000 might be a little optimistic for a used Quad pair, but if you can extend your budget($200?)you will have an amp on another level. 
Best short-lived band?
