Klipsch Heresy vs Forte
There is always the Quartet, a much missed little brother of the Forte :)  
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
I think my Ref 3A de Capos might be my end game.  Hard to beat for the price and put out enough sound with my 4 watt amp.  
A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby
I have the de Capos, great speakers. I bought a MHDT Stockholm 2 DAC and it has what i think you want. Its more open, bigger soundstage, very musical and warm, some describe it as euphoric. Many if not all of the MHDT DACs will have this profile.  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
I have Kimber 8PR old style in a 3/5 biwire with my Decware Mini Torii and Ref 3A de Capo speakers.  Have also used this setup with a pair of Klipsch Quartets  Great cables for a great price

Oracle CD2500 MKI
Check HiFi Shark for prices  
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Musical = MHDT  
Rotel CD Players
Look at the Emotiva ERC-4  built like a tank and has a DAC that can take digital inputs so you can also stream with it  
Help me select few vinyl LPs
Look for a Blue Note compilation album   One Night With Blue Note Preserved is a fun 3-4 LP  may have to buy used but a great collection of musicians  
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
I have a nice pair of upgraded (Crites Xver and Tweeters) Klipsch Quartets.  Baby Fortes.  Good bass, great live sound, use a 6 watt Grommes amp. and Not expensive  
What's the best EL84 amp?
Grommes PHI-26  
Is low cost DAC worth it?
I was surprised how much my used MyDac ( $125.00) increase the SQ of my CDP and streaming,   Buy used get more for the money   if you have time and can add $200  if bought used the MHDT DACs are very musical rich  
If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
I had an Oppo 970HD connected to a MyDac.  it sounded ok then I swapped out a Tascam CD-RW900MKII again through the MyDac.   The sound was much richer fuller, the Oppo sounded thin.  I was pleasently surprised
