Move router far from hifi components?
also depends on where you live if your in a high density area or a large condo building don't worry about it as your being flooded by all sorts of high frequencies from everyone one else anyway. rural areas not as much, but still there is really v...

Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?
I have to agree with the first poster veeyat. I’ve heard a fully decked out lp12, garrard 301, thorns All in custom plinths side by side in a friends system. All with very good arms and carts. All playing through a nagra pre driving 6 quad mono am... 
MM or MC......Voyager Expedition
Also any magnet inside a cart would fade over time specially the thousands of years it will need to get anywhere. So ceramic makes more sense for longevityit was a fantastic program very well done pbs is still doing great tv 
New cartridge and/or tonearm for a Delphi Mk1
the only real issues you will have with an arm is the weight of the arm as the table is fully suspended the springs in the towers will need to be tuned to the arm weight. I’ve owned 4 Oracle Delphi’s over the years and they are a great table speci... 
Best integrated for PSB Imagine T2's
If your thinking of the Bryston you have to consider that it has a 20 year warranty and from what I've heard of the new cubed line sounds very nice.   
Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?
lose the cd player all together and get something like the blue sound vault 2 and a good DAC there are others out there depending on your budget but CD players are dead tech. hell Vinyl is out selling CD's now for the last couple years.

PHONO PREAMP
Manley Steelhead may work for the load  
Need a preamp with tone controls!
+ to the Luxman preamps thier ( most of the good ones) tone controls have cut off freq as well so you can tailor the frequency you want to cut or boost leaving the rest alone.  
Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers
well now i have to go buy a kit and try it out for my self. the bug’s bitten me. dam you all. ;-)  
Hegel vs Rogue
i’d recommend you spend some of that budget on a better phono stage then the Shiit not bad for $130 but not great either. for $500 there is many way better phono stages out there with a lot more functionality and settings. the IFI iphono2 comes to... 
Tonearm recommendations
+ the Jelco very good arm for the money well made and easy to set up. easily bests many at double the price imo. Get a 750 in the length you like as your denon will handle even the 12" but you can get the 750 in the 9" with the upgraded tone arm c... 
More crazy audio tweaks?
