Bose 901
In the early 80's while stationed in Germany, I purchased a pair of original 901's with the EQ and chrome stands.  At the time, my system consisted of a Pioneer SPEC-4 power amp, SoundCraftsman SP-4001 EQ/pre amp, Technics SL-1600MK2 TT, Pioneer P... 
Ok guys

I can’t speak to the type of power supply.  I just know in my system, it sounds really good connected to my Herron pre-amp.

Take a look at the NAD M22v2 
Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software?
Via Ethernet, I run Roon Core on a Small Green Computer i7 for Roon DSP device connected to an Innuos Zenith MKII streamer as my Roon end point.  I use an iPad Pro, iPhone, or my laptop as a remote controller.

Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range?
The Techdas Air Force 1 is a really nice looking TT.  If someone can show me where I can find it in the OP's $1800 price range, I'd sell my beloved 1200G and buy one in a heartbeat.

The F702's look very nice and a lot like my DC8Ti's.  They are priced about the same.  The F702's are more efficient and lack rear ports, which might be good depending on the amp I end up with.  Going with a tube amp is a big decision for me becau...

@cd318  Thank you.  I truly appreciate your comments.  I also had way too much 80's and 90's era stuff from my military days, and began giving it way last year to my nephew, godson, and goddaughter.  In the end, I can't take it with me:  NAD 714...

As far as streamers, you should give Innous a serious look.  Innous has streamers ranging from ~$1,200 Zen Mini MK3 to the Zenith Statement at ~$13,000.
