Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable
Another small footprint table you could look into is the Well Tempered Simplex, smaller version of the Amadeus. Many fans of Well Tempered tables (complete with golf ball!) on this forum and elsewhere. Myself included. The Amadeus was my first hig... 
A Dac about two thousand used
And as an addendum to my Yamamoto recommendation, I would also suggest that you don't get too caught up in just the DAC chip used in a DAC (though these are important and will affect the sound). Do not forget the importance of a great power supply... 
Best phono preamp under $250
I quite liked the Musical Fidelity V-LPS. Soundsmith also has quite affordable MM phono stages that are well thought of, but I haven't heard these myself. 
A Dac about two thousand used
There is a Yamamoto YDA-01 available used here now. These rarely come up for sale, and are excellent. You can read the 6moons review for details. An incredible DAC. Beauty to look at too... 
Amp, On A Budget?
The Class D Audio (that's the company's name) amps are also quite impressive for their price. They come both as kits and assembled. I have one as a back-up amp to my tubes, and it sounds great when I put it in the chain. 
High quality AC turntable motor
Lewm, can you let me know how I can potentially obtain one of these second generation controllers? Are they currently available? Feel free to message me if that seems more appropriate than posting publicly. Googling has yielded little for me in my... 
High quality AC turntable motor
Thanks Palasr. Much appreciated. 
High quality AC turntable motor
Palasr, Can you point us to any turntable controllers that have all of the features you mention above? 
Qsonix closed ?
Find a good computer store with a tech who understands what you are trying to do. Should be able to create a mirror image of your drive. And probably worth backing up that HDD now... 
Wright WPP200C Phono Stage-- Info Please
Vinyl Engine is a good place to look for turntable related manuals. Not sure if they have phono stage manuals or not. But that has been a go-to resource for me when I have gotten vintage carts etc. 
stereo 90 Rogue amp hum noise
If that is the case, sounds like a ground loop to me. Look through threads here and elsewhere for potential fixes. And/or give Rogue a call. 
Recommendations for 5k upgrade
The DSPeaker Dual Core I mentioned earlier would be a more inexpensive way to get some digital room correction than DEQX. And you have a 30 day return policy at some retailers. (I'd also be curious how it compares to the EE DAC, it could be used w... 
Recommendations for 5k upgrade
Yes, I would agree that the source is where I would direct my attention first. One A'goner recommended the DEQX. Another option would be the DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0. Got a Golden Ear award in TAS, and Kal Rubinson also thought highly of it in Stere... 
stereo 90 Rogue amp hum noise
And does the hum remain at the same level regardless of where the volume control is on the dial? And does this noise remain when nothing else is plugged in? Only the Rogue into the speakers with no RCAs attached to the amp (best to disconnect RCAs... 
PurePowerAPS Canada concern
I think the trick for the quickest customer service is to start an Audiogon thread complaining about PurePower's customer service when handling a repair.
