I brought up Al Jolsen just to show how times and tastes have changed over the years! While we're at it take a look at Sophie Tucker,she was another superstar of another era! 
How much to spend on what component
Since you have the Rega for 18 years and enjoyed it,why not go for another Rega? I think the rule you came up with is just about right!

Bdp24, This guy was the biggest superstar of the 1920's. If you want to have a good laugh take a gander at this! Do you think this would be PC in this day and age?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIaj7FNHnjQ

Taters, I bet your parents raved about Guy Lombardo,Lawrence Welk,Eddie Fisher,Dinah Shore,etc. It was crap to us but great stuff for them. Lets face it we are Dinosaurs! 
Is it time for a phono stage?
Quicksilver makes an outstanding phono preamp for under 2 grand. 
Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"??

Audiophile Fuses

Audiophile Fuses
A fuse is just a thin piece of wire that goes open if the voltage rating is exceeded . A fuse should not change the sound .So yes if you hear a difference either way ,yes it is a Placebo. If someone hears a difference that's fine with me.A fuse is... 
Audiophile Fuses
Audiophile fuses are pure Snake oil! If you hear an improvement, that would be called the Placebo Effect. To each his own. 
6SN7 tube question
Why would you want a tube with Microphonics? My friend has a Rogue preamp and loves the Sylvania-Baldwin 6SN7 tubes. 
Under $2000 speaker for McIntosh MA6500
