Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801)
Why would you post a question like this...the Ayre is so much better. All Ayre products sound better in balanced operation....XLR 
Warm romantic & detailed
Tannoy - yes, but also listen to Vandersteen 
I love sad music
Das Lied von der Erde...Mahler (Das Abshied)Try Jamie Johnson country/western 
Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3?
I have an all Ayre sysrem... all of their components sound best when you use them in balanced mode. ..never had any issues with any of their stuff.  Recommended

PS Audio Power Plant 15........
That’s what happened in my system as well....ruined all nuance, air, 3 dimensionality, etc. All systems are different...in mine not good. (All Ayre) 
Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?
Antiscate should have no bearing on your issue.  My arm, and many I've seen tracks well without any antiscate at all 
tough choices

What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room?
Earphones with accompanied amp
