Periphery Record Rings
I checked the weight of the VPI PRC-4lbs 11 oz, or 2130 grams. 
Periphery Record Rings
The VPI weighs (about 5 lbs total weight) much more than the brass one in the above link. It fits snuggly to the outside edge of the VPI platter, so it is very centered. It helps warped LP's only a bit (in my experience). I don't feel it is a PITA... 
Mimt LP Protractor VPI Scoumaster Set Up Tool
Marsanz-Outermost first, then innermost. Assuming your setting the effective length and overhang first, which you should. 
Would love some thoughts on how to upgrade my gear
Leadbelly-Great advice!

Another thought-To get the most out of your TT/Cart/Arm I HIGHLLY reccommend getting a Mint LP protractor. $110 new from Hong Kong shipping included. 
VPI Scout "tweaks"
Schipo-It is my understanding the switch is due to not being able to procure the high quality acrylic they need.

Add a used Shelter 501 II ($450-$525) and swap out the VPI IC's for something not so lifeless sounding. I like Harmonic Tech IC's. You could upgrade to the JMW 9 Sig arm too. 
Preamp vs processor for upgrade
I don't know how good the musiland DAC is, but you can get a pretty decent used Denon AVR in you budget and most have a decent phono stage. I would suggest an AVR 4800 or above. Lots of amplifier power there too. 
Best Interconnects and Speaker cables
I really enjoy Harmonic Technology cables. Pro Silway III and up. Pro 11, Pro 9 speaker cables are very good. The Magic line is incredible. You can tell a real diference as you go up the ladder. The Truthlinks are a great value though too. Get the...

Long is good so you get the answers you wanted. One thing you did not mention is budget. How old is your TT? Even though your dealer will give you good trade in, if you don’t like the step up it's not worth it. But Rega does make a good TT, and mo... 
New2Analog - Table Setup Help?
Some wonderful 'Gonner posted this link a while back on TT set-up and I think it has a lot of smart info. I've been tossing the link around a bit and will here also.TT Set-upHope this helps! 
VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off
I had this problem. The fix for my set-up was plugging the motor into a different outlet. I had it plugged into my power conditioner and move it to a wall outlet on the same circuit. I’d try this first as it’s an easy fix if it works. 
VPI Scoutmaster static
You said you checked the ground from the TT to the Phono Stage. Did you check the ground from the underside of the arm to the RCA junction box? BTW- Your English is great! 
Editing WAV or other PC Files?
Nero CD burning software has a Wave editing program that will work fine for that. I use it often to take out the blasted gaps (often times minutes of)of silence before those "hidden" tracks on CD's.
