$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
And just wait an extra couple of weeks to order yours used for a mere $19,999!  
Audiophile virtues
You didn't like the book.  So what? 
REMINDER: tighten up your loose screws
How to even start a response to this?  Don't even get us started on solid silver or gold (or platinum) screws and their sonic benefits! 
Seeing sounds and music.....
Or you can just enjoy a good bottle of wine and never know whether you actually heard/saw it or just dreamed it... 
best way to charge batteries without getting noise
while listen music unplug battery chargerwhen plug in battery charger not listen music(response in kind) 
For SACD fans only
Of the choices you mentioned I'd go with the Esoteric.  I recently acquired a (used) Luxman D-06u and it puts my Oppo UDP-205 to shame; a full degree of magnitude better, IMO, and I imagine the equivalent offerings from Esoteric would do the same. 
Better CD Sound: The Search
Purchasing a used Luxman D-06u helped me to realize what I'd been missing with my Sony S9000ES, Audio Research CD-1, Pioneer Elite BDP-05, Cayin and even Oppo UDP-205 players.  A different class altogether.

Class A into Class AB
That's the definition of a class AB amp.  So what's the beef? 
Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago
Almost 50 years ago my salivate and drools were Klipsch Cornwalls; fast forward to 2021 when I had the spousal ok for Cornwalls, but decided on Forte IV's due to room size constraints (and am getting the best sound ever from my vinyl rig). 
cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.
Um...no.  (Former owner of Nakamichi 1000 and avid live recorder back in the day.) 
Looking for Speaker Input
Nebulous query results in nebulous (if not outright stupid) responses... 
Still happily using vintage gear?
Garrard 401 purchased as NOS from a guy in Germany who acquired it as part of EMI Germany's surplus inventory.  My personal end-game vinyl rig.  A couple of closet "waiting to repairs" from Tandberg and Audionics. 
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
Heck, I thought this thread was about Oswald the rabbit.  Boy, was I disappointed.
