Aerial 10T tweeter
I believe the 8 and 10T shared the same woofer and tweeter, but mine are long gone. 
Fisher 500T Receiver
One just sold on ebay for a little over $200, fully working, average cosmetics. These are nowhere near as collectable or valuable as the Fisher tube receivers. 
Aerial 10T tweeter
My friend needed to replace tweeter on Aerial 8. Aerial was great, and it was an easy do it yourself fix. 
Onkyo 9555
My Onkyo sounded great with Vienna Bach Grands. 
CD Player Headphone Jack
Thanks Rok2id, Any preference between the two Marantz models? 
CD Player Headphone Jack
Just plugged the Sennheisers into a friends Onkyo DX-7555 and was pleasantly surprised. 
CD Player Headphone Jack
No such thing as too inexpensive! I currently have Sennheiser HD 650 in main system with headphone amp, and also Grado SR80. I want to put a CD player in bedroom for headphone only listening, and wanting to keep it simple. Thanks. 
Inexpensive Transport
Thanks Rrog, I agree, though since I already have the Simaudio from another project, I was hoping there might be a good cheap transport. I had remembered a few years ago when a few cheap DVD players were popular as transports. 
Mapleshade boards under speakers
The customized screw-in brass footers have been great for my Dali MS4 and now MS5. I use lots of their boards and cones, always to positive effect. 
Aerial 7b, Nola Contender, with Ayre AX-7e?
I have had Aerial 8, Aerial 6, and currently Aerial 7b. All have liked lots of power. Not familiar with the Ayre. 
Marantz 2270 overhaul
My local tech, who is great, and has been doing this over 30 years, says he will work on anything but a 70's Marantz. Just thought I'd mention this before you take it apart. 
Manufacturer checkups
I have two friends, who when they buy used gear, often send it back to manufacturer for inspection, cleaning, calibration, whatever. Makes them feel better, and often not very expensive. Never do it myself. 
Audio Research, next upgrade?
I found the upgrade from the ARC CD3 MKll to the ARC CD5 very worthwhile. Not familiar with your other gear.

Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables?
I was very happy with Analysis Plus Oval 9, new version, but just tried the NACA5 and definitely preferred the Naim cable, as did my other listeners.
