Looking for a speaker for my LM 845 Premium
I would say that there are likely a few Audio Note options that would work well with the LM845 Premium. 
Rockport Atria II or Magico A5
@cantorgale   If you ever end up wandering down South, you are more than welcome to take a listen to the Pearls! 
Rockport Atria II or Magico A5
@cantorgale   Not sure where you are located, but if you happen to be anywhere near NC, I do keep a demo pair of Joseph Audio Pearl 20/20's on hand (and they are fantastic speakers). 
Small Footprint (compact) amp to power speakers?
The 2 suggestions above (Rega Brio and PS Audio Sprout) are both good options.  You could also look for a preowned Bel Canto C5i, but it would likely be in the $800 range price wise. 
Speaker upgrade
Great list of speakers you have so far!  The Joseph Audio Pearl 20/20 would be another fantastic unit to consider. 
Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines
I know we chatted on the phone a bit about these, and you have 3 great options you've narrowed it down to.  One more that you may want to think about....Line Magnetic 805ia -- https://www.line-magnetic.eu/en/products-line-magnetic-en/integrated-tu... 
Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition)
So you only need MM?If so, I would for sure add the Leben RS30EQ to your list.  It would have to be used (and likely a bit hard to find), but it's a fantastic MM phonostage.I also love the Line Magnetic LP33.  It's quite good on both MM and MC. 
New Marantz Model 30
To the questions on the front faceplate, it's been a tad confusing.  The large center piece (with the knobs and display) is for sure metal.  The finished side pieces are a little deceiving.  I do believe they are plastic, but it's very hard to tel... 
KEF R3s or Dynaudio special 40?
Do you have the chance to listen to either?  I'm a KEF dealer and think the R3s are really a pretty nice speaker at the price point.  But I've also traded for 2 pairs of Special 40s over the last year and was really impressed with them as well. I ... 
New Marantz Model 30
I'm a Marantz dealer.  I've had a demo Model30 for a while now, and have sold a few as well.  To me, it sounds quite similar to the RUBY PM-KI.  Very nice sounding unit and they look even better in person then the pictures show online! 
Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget.
@lalitk I would be more than happy to chat with you in regards to the Leben. 
Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget.
@lalitk They are $16,500 retail in the US.  Tone Imports is the US Distributor for Riviera and I'm a dealer for the items that Tone distributes (Riviera, Sugden, Leben, Shindo, etc). 
New Cary DMS 700
I'm lucky enough to be a dealer for both Cary and Lumin.  Both build some extremely nice streamers for sure.Really excited about this new DMS-700......it really should be an incredible unit.

Slightly above your price point, but one of the best integrateds I've heard lately is the new Riviera Labs Levante.https://www.rivieralabs.com/en/products/electronics/levante/30 watts Class A (with the option to run it in Class A / Class A/B).  Tu... 
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
I've been selling here for around 11 years now.  After trying various different sites, I generally feel that A-gon is the best option.  Not necessarily the cheapest option, but it's got a wide spread of buyers that visit everyday.For the most part...
