How can I fix this Phono Stage problem
Yes, input the Canary into another line input other than the phono/aux and see if that ends the buzz.

Is not the Dynavector 20XH a moving coil design? I think it is. Leave it on the MC (moving coil) setting, not the (MM moving magnet). I am not sure there is a problem. 
best premp for a pair of pass aleph 30's?
A Pass Aleph P or Aleph L would work great. I had an Aleph 3 with the Aleph P and the Aleph Ono for over ten years and only sold them to downsize. I would still have them if I had the space.

Go with a Pass Aleph preamp and use balanced (XLR) interconnects.

Pass Aleph 3 into 16 ohms
You will have no problem at all driving a 16 ohm load with this amp. 
Sony xdr-f1hd, Tuner, Impresive great value
Send it to Mike at Radio X for a mod for that issue. He also does mods for improved sound. I had mine done and it really improved the sound. - http://www.radioxtuners.com/ 
Compact receiver for bedroom
These might fit the bill: NAKAMICHI R-1, Marantz 2010 or 2015, some early Sansui where smaller, Denon, Yamaha & Teac made compact systems with smaller width receivers. 
VPI HW19MKIV huming motor
Mine did the same thing. First plug the motor directly into the wall to make sure it is the SDS and not the motor. Then cycle the SDS on & off a couple of times and see if you can get the table to run at 45rpm. Mine eventually started to work ... 
Small integrated for Silverline Minuets
I am using one of these in my office driving a pair of Silverline Preludes with a Velodyne sub. I upgraded the tubes and it sounds great, built like a tank. http://www.teconaudio.com/model_SE43i.html 
Bi-wire Silverline Prelude II: Is it worth it??
I have the same speakers and use 6' Zu Libtec cables with Ibis jumpers, the Libtecs hooked to the lower posts. I suggest trying some Analysis jumpers. 
Prefered Freight Company
The old radio collectors ship the large consoles by Greyhound bus. You can only ship from terminal to terminal, but as long as it fits in the storage area, it can be shipped. I hear it is very reasonable too. 
switching from isolated ground receptacle
No, the isolated ground duplex receptacle is internally configured to isolate the ground. Just attach the white & black wires to the correct sides and put the bare or green wire to the ground post of the outlet. 
pass or krell
