Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both?
as an audiophile and a pro musician, I can tell you I listen differently.  sometimes I play the same record twice so I can appreciate its different values. 
Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre
How could you not jump at the Ayre..  I'd also send it to Ayre and have it upgraded...they do a wonderful job. 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
I know 2 people who have have the amp, preamp.   They've both had lots of issues with them.   When they work, they sound good...but..... 
RCA Caps
Useless.... 
Lyra Etna Versus Kleos
Etna....no doubt 
Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC
All these things sound different.....there is no such thing as perfection....choose your poison. 
Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever
Send the cartridge to Soundsmith and see if he can clean it.  It sounds as though you accuse yourself of the problem.   Stuff happens....I bet Soundsmith can take care of it. 
Switching to solid state amp?
You should listen to Ayre offereings 
Power line conditioners- to use or not to use? That is the question?
I tried many....they all changed the sound but they all had warts I ultimately couldn't live with. 
Interconnect Cables
Why would you not continue with Wireworld? 
stereo receiver recommendations
Outlaw is really a Sherwood in disguise,  I certainly would not recommend that one. 
Vandersteens, PSB or something else?
Vandersteen 
Can Vinyl LP's Survive In A Room that Gets 95 Degrees?
I live in Arizona, where my record storage in the garage frequently tops 110 degrees.  My records have no warps...all is good. 
Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD
It all depends on the recording.  Sometimes vinyl's better, sometimes not. 
Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
I put 3 Cardas blocks under my Rega which helped quite a bit.  There is no need to "move on".   Lots of money with only a bit of additional performance.
