What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl?
$100 for a UK first pressing un-played copy of Pink Floyd Wish you were here, and $100 for a similar (as above) SupperTramp Crime of the Century from the same collector.  that day was expensive day, I also got 4 other records similarly priced all ... 
Best TT under $1k
you've listed all the good ones in that price range so get out there and have a listen and make a choice. your not going to get a lot of upgradability in that price range but a little. I'd go to the higher end of your range as they will give you m... 
Are Audiophiles "Simply Guessing?"
I think its similar to many aspects of work recreation life. many people that do something for work don't do it for relaxation-recreation. I used to love working on cars then I owned an auto performance shop now I hate working on my car... sort of... 
Ethernet over power line adaptor
thanks marco1 that device will work for my issues as well, didn't even know they were available great... 
Counterpoint SA2
If the counterpoint is only a Head Amp then yes. but If it is outputting a full line level signal then NO just go into a regular line level input or you will over drive the circuits.  
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
I read what your saying about integrated, but I would suggest something like the Anthem integrated with their room correction that will integrated your sub much better then what your proposing. Or their similarly outfitted pre-amp with room correc... 
Two different amps to same speakers for two different applications?
get a descent switching unit, not expensive and will isolate one amp when using the other. Bottle Head, parts express etc have them  
Creek or Classe Integrated amp
Classe.  much better build quality and sound imo. Creek has always imo been a mid-fi component. Or the first rung on the audiophile ladder.  
Butcher BLock Acoustics under turntable
maple has some good quality’s depends on what your trying to get out of your system. I found maple a little too soft for my tastes I prefer higher mass like granite I find it more detailed then maple. either way, yeah works well. oh bamboo is very... 
Audio rack
+Williewonka  that's also what I use, for a cost to performance base its hard to beat.  
Sell your components boys and girls, the console is back!
Jab, there are jigs for these things its not new tech by any means. and you can not in any way justify $15000 for that wood work, its not that hard to do, any competent craftsman can do it.  
Audio rack
3 legs,  floating shelves, mass.  
Is It Possible?
I also was shocked at how good they sound. a good friend has an array of 6 with 3 stacked on top of one another in a custom rack. 3 per side gives a huge room filling experience and with 6 panels they have great bass too. mind you the need for 6 a... 
Sell your components boys and girls, the console is back!
That Symbol console is a total scam imo. I was looking at it a few days ago. there is about $3-4 retail worth of audio gear in it but they are charging $20000 for the thing. A custom cabinet builder friend of mine said its highway robbery to charg...
