$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
Ask the LampizatOr dealer who posted earlier to send you a Pacific to try in your system and let you decide if its worth the $30K price tag. Spending that sort of cash on anything sight unseen/unheard is not a smart move.

Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations
FWIW, I don't have any experience with the tables/cartridges you mentioned but I do have a friend who switched from using the phono stage in his P6 to a schiit Mani with a Swagman linear power supply and the sound quality improved, especially the ...

I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers
Wish you the best on your health issues and don't (always) count on what they tell you. I have two close friends/family members who were given a similar prognosis several years ago and they are still fine and enjoying life.
