Where do I start!?!
I'm not sure why you think selling off something will require him to buy some "Junk" Elizabeth. regardless of the prices involved, as that's irrelevant as all used equipment has taken the depreciation hit. Who's to say he can't trade in his mono b... 
Where do I start!?!
I have to agree with a few here talk to your father and see if he minds you selling the equipment and upgrading to a nice integrated amp -  smaller separates and speakers. I hope he will understand that your just optimizing the system to your room... 
Record weight for Garrard 301
Garrard plinths are evenly dished from the edge to the center so a record clamp-weight actually pushes the record evenly onto the whole plinth and doesn't lift the edges. if you put something under the center to lift it, it will only cause voids i... 
Thinking of buying a new DAC - Shiit Yggdrasil?
I am being blown away by the Grungnir Multi Bit right now so I'd say yes to Schiit. another popular option is the Cord DAC's.  
High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
AudioNote speakers are much more tube friendly then you think they state 94db but your correct with slightly lower spec at around 92db.  I drove my ANE's with 8wpc and they were very nice. also AudioNote is a tube amp manufacturer and  your amp i... 
Phono stage for my system?
second the Gold Note ph10. if wanting to spend much less for a rather surprising phono stage look at the Ifi Audio Iphono2 at <$500 its a killer phono stage with surprising adjustability for future carts.  
A moderate priced dac
Schitt Audio go there look at the DAC’s they have and pic a Multibit DAC and enjoy. I have a Grungnir mb and am very impressed. I say Multi bit as its really quite organic sounding IMO compared to the delta sigma DAC’s. Bifrost is right in the mi...

Omega has some nice point source monitors I tried a set of their SAM monitors and was quite impressed. write up here if you search. zu audio Tekton, with a million models to choose from I’m sure they have something for you. Coincident (may be too... 
Record weight for Garrard 301
I would not be concerned I use a record weight and have no ill effects just better focus and more detail. The concave is rather mild on the Gerrard's and when you listening to both sides it evens out. I use a Project record puck (weight) on my Gar... 
static Issues...anybody know why?
another easy way to dissipate an electric charge is using a carbon brush that has a grounding cable on it. Oracle (the record player co)made a model years ago not sure if there are others out there, but my oracle brush works wonders to remove stat... 
Rega RP1 repair - worth it?
I'd take it to a local tech and see if they can repair it. yes its worth fixing if its not expensive to fix. example my tech charges a flat rate of one hour for fault finding-repair so yes its worth $50 to see if its worth spending more on. chance... 
Do standalone digital-to-digital EQ and Room Correction products exist? SPDIF in SPDIF out
you may want to look at the pro audio side of things. but your most likely going to find similar things that do much.  I agree that would be a great product. simple room correction DSP in a box. it could be digital in - analogue in with digital ou... 
This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner
How many integrated amps does one manufacturer need? 11 it seems if your McIntosh. not to mention the web site really doesn't do a good job of describing the differences or the price ranges. for a new Mac inquirer its hard to tell what's what on t... 
Jawbone Bluetooth or equiv small speakers. Any others that may be better?
"Jawbone is going out of business. Jawbone as we knew it is no more. The tech company that produced Bluetooth earpieces and wireless speakers before betting everything on fitness tracking has entered into liquidation proceedings, according to a ne...
