Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Most members here pat themselves on their back for their fine purchases.  I've tried many conditioners and in my system there are always warts....sometimes weeks of listening is required to hear them.   
Sturdy Turntable Stand
geof.....not in my experience.  Some turntables need a lightweight support (Linn), some need a solid support to the center of the Earth. (VPI).  They all make a difference. 
Time to buy a class D amp?
Good Class D's like everything else costs a lot of money.   I'd wait a year or two 
Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍
Why are diamond cantilevers so expensive at all.....diamonds are manufactured now.  The world changes 
Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen
I wouldn't screw around with Vandersteens......they sound wonderful in my house...just set them up properly....there's a lot to do to make them near their peak.  Once right is achieved all you have are smiles.  I have 5A's....a treat.  For me, fur... 
High end car system
I think you're spinning your wheels.   I have a very high end system in my car made by Burmeister.  It sounds real good only at traffic lights....as soon as I drive off the engine/tire noise swamps whatever delicacy, high end sound it had at the l... 
Linn LP12 I channel louder?

Matching Gear matter to you?
I too have all my components from one manufacturer....the only way to absolutely be sure all the boxes work well together. 
Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement
You're not going to get the sound that you're looking for with that arrangement, no matter what you do.  You need a dedicated room with components set up properly.  I have speakers in the ceiling all over the house, but only listen to background m... 
I need some turntable guidance
Everyone has their opinions/biases....go listen and play with the equipment.....you'll become attached.  If you can't live with it after awhile, consider it a mistake and move on. 
Should I trade up from a Kavent/Shengya/Vincent mono block ??
for me...it would be a mistake.  Never liked PS Audio 
Azimuth setting using channel decibel level on a mono LP?
Why not use a Foz...just use a new battery every time. 
Audiophile Receptacle question
About 2 or 3 years ago, I was inquisitive about outlets as well....tried many....returned many.   I kept top of the line carbon fiber Furutech...yes I know they are expensive.  Oyeida is also excellent, but in my house for my system, the Furutech ... 
Zyx R50 problem or not?
I'm sure you checked for stylus damage.....I'd send it out for an proper inspection and repair if needed...if not....resume the glorious quest.
