If your going up to 4K I would be looking at the Pro-ject flagship.   
I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?
Vintage Cerwin Vegas for rock and metal are really good! My DX9s were made for that stuff wish I would have kept them around although they would only be in rotation sometimes. They ain’t perfect but they get to the heart of hard music like few oth... 
Naim?
Audiogon peeps need to fix this double posting when creating a post. I made sure I only got the damn button once. It’s been about a week now. Not tryin to be a d..k just saying😃.   
China built tube amps
I’m not sure it’s exactly Xenophobic. When companies say a product is made in the US or stretch the truth it pisses people off and it should. Also nothing at all wrong with trying to buy made in America IMO. I do ok but if money were no object tha... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?
For a grand I’m thinking the Schiit as you have already considered.

Wyred4sound
Has Wyred adopted any of the new class D stuff? Purifi or gan. I think there are quite a few manufacturers making small form factor class d stuff.   
Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders?
I bet the Black Ice stuff sounds great. Everything Jolida I’ve ever had sounded really great although the preamp was a bit noisy. Their tube dac is a real cracker for the price. My current 302CRC EL84 integrated sounds wonderful pushing my 145lb P... 
Parasound vs Emotiva
Parasound is much better IMO .   
Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo
Personally I love Focals but have not heard the one in question. Magicos I heard did not do much for me. Gotta get the right amplification for Focal. IME not bright if it’s a fit.   
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
I should have said it would be hard to replicate but with a great room correction software you can improve like a MF. Depending on the speaker. EQ however ehhh I tried that a little and your always dicking with it.   
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
IMO no you can bandaid but can’t replicate something better. I had the Lyngdorf 2170 and it made Tekton Double Impacts sound amazing when room correction engaged. The difference with some other speakers was actually worse than natural. So dunno. M... 
Krell Vanguard Integrated
Thanks I believe the Ibias existed on the Vanguard as well. Probably not as dialed in as now I’m guessing and they called it something slightly different but basically floating classA. I’m sure the new one is better.     I just bought a Musical F... 
Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST?
Good to know. Thanks.
