What will audiophiles do Different?
Stick with the first system I ever had: Dyna SCA-35integrated, EV speakers, Dual 1009 aged 16 
Thoughts on a C 47 Mac
Sweet spot in the Mac line. The guts of a far more expensive model further up the line if you give up the EQ 
best-sounding class D amp?
ATI 5***. Use N-core with a proper linear power supply by a pro mfg who has been around for a while and who OEM's some very famous names.. A Theta Prometheus at a cut price 
Merrill Taranis vs Wyred4sound ST-500
Think about ATI 500NC line. Hypex N-Core engine,  Linear power supply, What's not to like? 
Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
You may be trading one problem for another. And who can maintain these?

Loved my TACT 2150 class D amp

Furutech GT40α Alpha does it all, was well reviewed in UK and is less than $600.

I have a boron-tipped 103 in a wood body. I took my garrard 301 into Soundsmith for a tuneup and the tech said it was easily the equal of a $100+cartridge 
Best speakers for max. $3000?
No one should advise you on speakers. De gustibus...They all vary so much that you should get out there and listen, with your own software.
