Turntable
" Myself? I just hate having to get up every twenty minutes to flip the record or put on a new one (PLUS cleaning, tick&pops, storage, etc.). Good luck. "And dont forget about all the new 45’s that only run for 10 minutes! Seriously though, Di... 
Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment?
Not here! Craigslist maybe??? 
Dynaudio Focus XD
First off these are completely different speakers. I think the best deal here is the KEF though, the KEF speakers when set up properly will really make you smile. It might take a better Dynaudio speaker to compete. At $2500 new the KEFs are a real... 
LiL Feat - Paul Barrere Gone At 71
What a loss! Little Feat has been a big influence for so many!  
Phono Pre Upgrade from Parasound JC-3?
Manley Steelhead= RCA only!  I highly recommend if your amp has RCA inputs you should give this unit a try. It will deliver what your looking for balanced or not.

Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?
Rega Tables have a great jump factor, lively sound, the kind that makes you want to move something even if you dont dance. However, you will have to lift the platter and manually change speeds if you switch to a 45 or vise versa. Also, Rega dosent... 
Biwiring connections through Mcintosh Mc7100
So your trying to connect 2 sets of speaker cables to 1 set of 5 way binding posts on the back of your amp? This comes down to having the right terminations on your speaker cables IE...Bare wire, Banana plugs, spade lugs. If one set was bare wire ... 
Powercord cinvert
Awesome news, I too use Morrow IC’s with McIntosh Amp MC352, And yes your not fooling yourself when you say it does make a big difference indeed. Try Morrows interconnects as well MA3’s or MA4’s. I however am using "the magic" power cable from Sig...
