The best TT system for under 30K
Now that appears to be the turntable that you seek. I have not personally heard it, many think it is the very best there is.You do want to approximate the sound of tape, and they say this is the closest.Even better, get top of the line Pear Audio ... 
Wow, $10k+ cables
There are far less expensive PranaWire cables. $77k is too extravagant for any cables unless they are at a completely different level. 
The best TT system for under 30K
Wait until you hear a master tape dub played on great deck. You will forget about turntables.Anyway, you will have to audition. Starting with, say, $10k for table/arm, that's where serious things begin. 
Wow, $10k+ cables
No one seems to complain about $10k amps. What makes anyone think that designing great cable is easier and less time consuming than designing great amp ? Production cost is less, I suppose, though something like silver/gold/palladium Echole cables... 
Wow, $10k+ cables
Other brands that I would like to try in my system are Echole and Stage III but they are so expensive even lower models and used that it is unlikely unless I get very lucky. I don't pay more than $1k for cables.Still use original very old Purist C... 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
I would just keep switching cables from phono to dac if I were you, unless it would be too inconvenient. 
Wow, $10k+ cables
jafant, there is still one advantage that the Tchernov has over the Wywires - it has a bit more of 'the power of delivery'. And possibly another advantage - slightly more high frequency extension. But overall, yes, I find Wywires Platinum more bal... 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
I don't think that the OP wants to use cables as tone controls, he simply wants to hear everything there is to hear, including bass.Now, in a reasonably good system and with reasonably good hearing, cables do not sound the same, though some do sou... 
What is it in MM that can give me goose-bumps? 🤔
If better MMs are more than good enough for those sound engineers, they are for me too. Save your dollars for tape and tape deck, get serious.  
Best tube preamplifier for under $15k
pstores, I would not pay this kind of money for equipment even if I could. What I said had nothing to do with me. 
Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers?
His girlfriend is just as important as his music. I am sure it means she is very important to him.  
Wow, $10k+ cables
You know, I got Tchernov Reference interconnects which are in essence high grade military cables. I also have Purist Neptune fluid and Wywires Platinum cables, and overall prefer them both to the Tchernov, though the Wywires and the Tchernov are c... 
Wow, $10k+ cables
ebm might be right. Best value Purist Audio cable is Neptune, $1900 retail for 1M pair RCA. You can never find used Neptune.Anyway, that's wild capitalism, you charge as much as you can, maximize profit before other considerations. At least no one... 
Anyone buys master tape dubs ?
Does Studer A810 sound much better than Otari 5050 ? 
Wow, $10k+ cables
I am afraid that would not be enough to get the very best. More like $15k.
