Different subwoofer at each corner?
If I understand Nrenter correctly, this means 0.7 multiplied by the frequency at which your speaker rolls off -3db in the bass region. A common speaker measurement, and what everyone is generally referring to when discussing how low in the bass a ... 
What's more important: phono stage or amp
But for someone who is trying to decide how best to allocate audio funds, just saying "system, system, system" isn't going to help that decision. Yes, synergy is huge, as I and others have posted many times. I think Herman rephrased the OP's quest... 
What music is best for life in a tiny box?
I think that you might have better luck with this question on Head-Fi. A couple questions that come to mind. Do you need the amp and headphones and digital player to be portable? Do you need your headphones to block out noise? When you say a DAC r... 
which budget preamp?
Are you thinking new or used? Used of course has the advantage of letting you try it out and being able to sell for close to what you paid. Used preamps that I have tried and liked around under $400 cad are the Vincent PHO-8, Musical Fidelity V-LP... 
Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think?
How about the Dynavector P75 phono? 
Two Turntables and Hum Problems - Help Please
18-20 feet is still mighty mighty long for a cable transmitting such a miniscule signal. Above all other cables I would try to keep the phono cable as short as possible (and make sure it was shielded). Without shorter phono cables (or maybe balanc... 
Suggestions on using a Roku w/external DAC?
I have no experence with the DacMagic, but I have seen it described as getting "long in the tooth." There are a number of great new DACs being released, and bang for your buck continues to get better and better in the DAC world. 
full tube preamp with phono under $2500
But Lloydelee21, my point is that the OP might be able to get the Aureiges WITHOUT a phono pre in the price range he wants, but not likely the Aurieges WITH the phono section. Shindo certainly has a great reputation, but I didn't want to get the O... 
full tube preamp with phono under $2500
I don't think you will be able to find a Shindo with a phono pre for under $2500. Maybe the linestage Aurieges...

I would also make sure that your interconnects are shielded from the TT to phono pre. 
Budget system around 1K
So $1k for just amp and speakers? You will also need a phono pre most likely to I am guessing, since you mention the Rega. One possibility might be the Audioengine powered monitors and a preamp... 
What is Warmth?
I think with regard to audio terminology, especially on audio forums, it is important to distinguish the proper definition of the term (a la the Holt Stereophile glossary of audio terms, etc), and the way that the term is used more broadly (and so...

Tube preamp with the "most" for 1k used, 2k new?
I'd look into Modwright at that price point. 
A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice
If you are interested in Pass, maybe give Mark at Reno Hifi a ring. He has a great trial policy and may have something used in your price range. Believe he also has a sale on this month.Another pre I would look at is a Modwright 9.0. Used it will ...
