Shindo Vosne Romanee / MC240 / Linn LP12 / ProAc & Altec - DAC?
The Bluesound Node 2 with its built-in DAC is a good affordable way to add streaming.

@pdreher : I agree that the Altec 19 benefits from more power. Instead of a tube amp like an MC275 the Benchmark AHB2 would be a better choice - and costs less!  
KRELL MD-10 CD
If the MD-10 still needs the stabilizer to work you could go to a wood working shop and have one made - as long as you have the dimensions.

Will the MD-10 play a CD without the stabilizer? If so, then you don't need it!  
VAC Phi 300.1 won't power on.
Don't stick your fingers in there! Use a wood skewer to poke around with!

Take a look inside the amp. A soft "pop" could be a shorted coupling cap. Look for a cap with white stuff coming out one end.

Transparent Audio Digital Coax Cable
NO! Especially not if you will be spending hundreds of $$$ for the new cable.  
B&W line up
Don't forget the older DM4, DM5 and DM6. Earlier B&W had a hybrid speaker with an electrostatic tweeter.  
Thorens. Vintage or New?
New Thorens or old? Tough call! I have two in my collection: a TD150/SME series 3 and a TD125/Rega RB300. The Vinyl Nirvana TD125/Sorane TA-1 is particularly appealing - they do excellent restoration/mod work! I have the Vinyl Nirvana original AR ... 
Building System with Record Player / Need Preamp?
Pioneer PLX1000 ($699) + a Grado Prestige cartridge ($89 - $189). The C328 phono stage should be adequate. An upgrade would be the Schiit Mani ($150). I have the PLX1000 with a Denon  103R mc cartridge. Read Herb Reichert's review from several yea... 
Vini Vici.
Veni Vidi Vici - Latin for "I came, I saw, I conquered".  
Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon?
Read the science fiction novel Colossus by D.F.Jones. I did when I was a teenager! It left a strong impression!  
Alfred Bokrand cartridge choices
This Borkrand arm is new to me. Can you provide details and a picture? I recall the SAEC arms were exceptionally heavy and only worked well with the heaviest low-compliance cartridges. Plus they had insufficient offset angle.

Malicious AI will make total control of humans possible - a permanent surveillance state as foretold by George Orwell! The Chinese are getting closer to that by planning to use advanced facial recognition of all Chinese citizens! Big Brother is wa...
