Best integrated for my needs????
Though I haven't heard it, the Boulder 866 at $14k with DAC is well within your budget. 
How old are you?
43 
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
Is Lovan still in business? Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since 2016 & it links to a main website that doesn't exist. 
APPLE TV+ 4k
I really liked my Apple TV 4K, but had to sell it. Didn't realize that you couldn't rent movies within the apps. My wife likes to rent Amazon & VUDU movies from time to time. Can't do it within the Apple because they want a cut of the money, b...

I'm looking at replacing my Pioneer with this:https://www.crutchfield.com/S-Y1YZYerWp3j/p_500ILXW650/Alpine-iLX-W650.html 
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
I'd be interested to see how these compare to the $7400 Magico A1.Battle of the $7k Monitors! 
Acurus A200five
I owned a 200FIVE several years ago. It was a really good multi-channel amplifier, but it had an annoying whine upon shut down. I think it was the caps discharging. Still, it was a good amplifier. However, it's quite an old design/unit and if you ... 
Phonostage recommendations under $3K
Manley Chinook or Gold Note PH-10 + PSU-10. The PH-10 is $1600 and can be used as a standalone unit or you can get the outboard power supply (PSU-10) for ~$1100 more. 
Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers
I second Oregondv.com. They made some custom outriggers for a pair of Von Schweikert dB99 speakers that I used to own (and miss). They can custom make a set for your speakers. I think I paid about $400-$500 for mine.  
How to insert album cover art on music files?
I use Tag&Rename to tag all my WAV files. Never had a single issue with the information/album art showing up using the old Slim Devices/Logitech streamers or my current DIY computer using JRiver. 
Where to buy decent 845 and 211 tubes?
I always like the Shuguang 845B tubes. No experience with 211 tubes. 
line magnetic 805ia and cossor 805 tube
Check with the Line Magnetic Owners Group on Facebook. They are fairly active & I believe somebody on there is also running the Cossor 805 in their 805IA. 
Selling my dads top of the line system
Selling separately will yield the best financial results as others have mentioned. But I think keeping it (if feasible) and thinking of your dad every time a song you love or a song you both loved plays will yield better emotional results. 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
What's the general opinion of the Kharma MP150? It got rave reviews when it came out, but at this point the amplifier is 10+ years old. I presume it's been given updates over the years. One reviewer claimed it bested the darTzeel stereo amplifier....
