Best Platter Material
Boston Audio graphite mat works really well with Nottingham Spacedeck. Its platter is made of..I have no idea, but it's quite heavy and not glass or acrylic or delrin. Some sort of alloy. 
Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's
Sure, LAMM would outclass them so perhaps it would be too much and too expensive.But..Speakers are "female" and amps are "male" and as such..Well, I better stop right here. 
will different lengths affect sound
That's right. If you wear waxed Dior - everything is possible. 
will different lengths affect sound
Of course they will. Point is if you can hear it. And that depends. I doubt that anyone can in case one cable is 6ft and another 8ft. But..maybe someone can. I cannot. 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
When I said "better terms" I didn't mean only the price. In your example, no I won't pay $30k instead of $40k.But I will buy cartridge from England for 60% what it is here or motor controller for my Nottingham table. Not big money true. Some Ameri...

I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
No surprise that they almost never appear here for sale used, and when they do they sell immideately. I wonder if two of them would make a difference, one for power amps and another for the rest? 
If I can afford one good cable, which component?
If not overtaken by yuan, dollar will be forever. Dollar and Swiss franc.Anyway, let's put good American made power cords everywhere and enjoy the music, mostly not American made. At least not for me. 
Redgum amplifiers
If you decide to buy, get one with dual volume controls. It takes some time to get used to but works wonders to adjust for room acoustics and different recordings. 
Man in need of new music
Try to get LP records whatever you want to listen to. Digital is no good for any kind of music and even worse for classical to the point of becoming ridiculous for big orchestra. Carmen was an excellent suggestion for opera though it matters who p...

Not to be too intrusive, but what amps do you use? Get them LAMM or Gryphon or even, hell I never said it, better and newer Brystons, and they just might give you enough bass and dynamics. In my experience speakers are often capable of much more t... 
Using Granite under speakers
I see. Your room is very nice, and I don't just mean in terms of audio. 
Upgrade choices
You didn't say what you would like to improve. I am no expert, but it seems to me that you might be better off by further upgrading the Technics, the arm, the cartridges and the phono stage. Unless you just want to try something different.
