Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose?
Let's see.....music or sex....you have to ask? 
Best placement of Speakers
Short wall set out as far as practical from the wall behind them. This is the best chance of reducing room effects and increasing soundstage depth. 
VPI cleaning machine parts
You can order directly from VPI. You'll need to send them a check. No credit cards or PayPal. 
Setting up Rega RB300
I believe the effective length is 222mm. 
Any good cdp with digital inputs
The top of the line Quad. 
CD player wanted $500-$1000
Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo, Rega Apollo.............................Any more questions? 
Newfound respect for McIntosh
Nice review. I wouldn't be two quick to upgrade your sources or speakers. They all offer outstanding musicality regardless of their relatively modest prices. 
Preamp with Main1 and Main2
For using two amplifiers in a biamp configuration or for a subwoofer. 
Zu Druids
Your heading says Druids and you ask about Gallos? 
belles 150 reference vs six pacs
Both are excellent amplifiers. I believe the Belles would be a better match because of its' ability to deliver higher power and more current to the 12s. 
Review: Goldring GR 1.2 Turntable
Nice review but the P2 has not been discontinued. It has been updated. 
Vandersteen 2ces, McCormack 0.5 and which pre-amp
The Rotel is the limiting factor. I don't believe the amp upgrade would be beneficial if it stays in the system. 
High power amp for monitors?
You have to double power to get a 3db increase in output. Shouldn't make much of a difference on a pure power basis.Of course, the amp may have other properties that you like better. 
Vandersteen 2ces, McCormack 0.5 and which pre-amp
Being CD only I recommend either a quality passive volume control or a CD player with volume control. No preamp is better than no preamp. 
Where to spend some money?
Look at the Portal Panache integrated to replace the Rotel pieces.
