Black Uhuru. 
Is less than 24 bits worth it?
With all of the above having been said, what are some reccomendations for a used player in the $1k range? I use a Classe CAP-100 and Spica TC-60's and listen to mostly all kinds of music. 
Audiophile Special Event Songs Weddings, etc.
Ours was Ray Charles and Betty Carter singing "Ev'ry time we say goodbye".My sister danced to Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" at hers. 
Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha.
I think Diana Krall is way overrated personally. I really enjoy Joni Mitchell's 2000 release, Both Sides Now.I'm also a big Dinah Washington fan - also try Abbey Lincoln.

Yusef Lateef - Live At Pep's. 
Vinyl's Noise Floor
Not putting up with some noise while listening to vinyl is like not going to see live music because someone might cough or a telephone might ring or glasses might clink. It simply goes with the territory. 
What is the best Beatle Song
#1: Across the Universe. Runner up: Sun King. Coincidentally they both offer verses in European languages. 
Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?
"All For You". This is the one dedicated to the Nat King Cole Trio. I don't care for the discs with string arrangements. Her recordings are great but I think she's one of the most overrated artists in jazz. I agree with Tireguy regarding the cover...
