Keep or sell Yamaha PX-2 turntable?
Agree with Peter - Try the PX2 with your Dynavector & give it a spin. 
--- have you ever seen these speakers before???
I agree with Tom 100% - The guy (seller) wants you to audition them for yourself.$800 is not a ton of money to drop for 4 speakers & if they are your cup of tea - You got yourself a great deal. 
Revel Salon 2 or Raidho
I think a 5 hour drive + 2 hours to demo & 5 hours return home is a half day very well spent.If the Raidho speakers fill the bill - You can take them home with you & be done!I drove 4 hours each way to pick up my SF Amati's about 10 years ...

Best AMP for SF Amati?
I have had both Amati's & Strad's.Tubes seemed to work best with both.I tried SS Nemo's & they sounded great, but the best sound I've ever heard was with the VAC Renaissance Sig. Mk. III 140's using WE 300B's!

Power up my Cary tube integrated?
Power it up & see if it works - Then keep it or sell it! 
Wrong speakers
The Einstein amps are OTL, so go with 8 ohm speakers as a 4 ohm load will decrease the power of the amps to about 40wpc & if the load goes a tad lower - the amps will have a fit!Find something 8 ohm & 90db & the amps will raise the hai...

Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
A few Beck Sapphire beers between 3 & 6.After dinner some XO & a Trinadad Fundador sets the mood for vinyl. 
Doc Severinsen and Ernie Watts concert tour...WOW
Doc is de man & there is no better!I play his LP with the "National Philharmonic Orchestra" almost everyday (4 copies) 1980 Firstline Cat. # 51-3018.His CD "Trumpet Spectacular" Telarc CD-80223 is almost as incredible!He is the one & only ... 
Cartridge for 45's
Would probably be best to go with a mono cartridge as most 45's from the 50's & 60's weren't recorded in stereo.ENJOY!
