Time to upgrade the old Dual turntable, looking for opinions.
You should be able to get a Linn turntable with tonearm and cartridge used for less than what you mention. Even a Linn Basik would be a significant upgrade from your Dual. 
Old Amp vs. New Amp
Also, some manufacturers like SMc Audio (McCormack), Atma-Sphere (tubes)and Ayre update their older models. So, you wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get either repairs or getting the most up to date version.Regarding cables, it would... 
Balancing time for music: Discovery/acquisition vs. listening
Though Spotify isn't on the cutting edge of fidelity, I do not find it significantly worse than Tidal. In fact, I hardly notice the difference.Bob

 Of course, you could contact Krell and ask their opinion. If it took such a hard hit, there may be additional damage. Proceed with caution. 
Bi-wires links for speakers ?
@OP-It seems like you have your mind made up. Why bother posting this thread? 
Has anybody heard this newer brand of turntable? Shineola Runwell out of Detroit, MI USA?
