How much to spend on what component
The best way to go about this would be to bring your current TT setup into your dealer. Your P2 is small and easy to move around. No reason to take a chance. 
"Audio Gone" question for Audiogon experts
If you were to put IC's on the tape out and run them to a different component that has line level inputs (pre amp, headphone amp, etc...), would that catch the signal before it got to the tape monitor circuit? 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
"The VPI might work, as long as it sends out AC, correct?"Yes. If you don't already have any A/C products, you can use a regenerator like a PS Audio 500. 2 upgrades are better than 1. 
Any other tweaks for Wilson Audio Duettes?
I have a pair of Cub's in a 2nd system. Have you listened to them? I've never heard your speakers, so I'm not sure if they have a similar sound. 
Dynaudio or Ohm?
When you heard the 260's, were you able to compare them to any other speakers in the same system? 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
"09-01-15: EnobenettoChecked out the Phoenix. It won't work because there is not enough clearance from the platter."You may be talking about something else here. Every speed control I have ever seen, is an external box that you plug the motor into... 
VTL Super Deluxe PR-1- how much MC gain?
"As we all know by now, the current VTL and Manley companies will not provide information on these older models."I didn't know that, so thanks for the info. What's the sense of holding back information like that? Its pretty basic stuff that a cust... 
Magnepan 3.7i vs Goldenear Triton one
Both Onhwy61 & Sbank's post's are exactly right. At least I think so."Both brands have equally terrible resale value, (just saw a pair of 3.7 go for 3k on Audiogon) So, not concerned with that aspect. So perhaps, Ill grab a pair of 3.7 used an... 
Android phone/Pandora/stereo set-up
3.5mm jacks are not all the same, even if they have the same number of rings. You need to get a 4 conductor cable."You still should have gotten at least one channel usingthe mono cable? Was it pressed all the way into the jack?"Not in this case. M... 
Wireworld versus Tara Labs
The higher you go up in the Tara line, the cables are less forgiving. If you find them to be a bit too much, try some of the cheaper cables. 
Snobbiest audio websites
"To answer the question... I would have to say Audio Asylum(not a member) due to the frequent mean spirited responses."Audio Asylum is a good choice, but Hydrogen Audio has them all beat. Those people are so arrogant and stupid, you have to see it... 
Need integrated amp with built-in USB DAC
You may want to list your system. You'll need to get an amp that works with your speakers, not to mention your own personal taste. Assuming its powerful enough, Wyred 4 Sound makes an integrated/dac for $1500 that looks pretty good. I haven't hear... 
Novum Resonator Alternative
I know of the device you're talking about. And while I think you'll definitely hear a difference with it in your system, I don't buy the claim that it works as a resonator. To me, it looks like a reflector. A good example would be cupping your han... 
Help: Burning High Res Audio to DVD
I don't think you can use a dvd. A CD transport may not be compatible. Try burning th a blank CD instead. You'll only get about 20 min play time on a disk, but it may work. If you can use something like a USB stick, that would probably be the best...

"08-25-15: ColiOnkyo has fixed their issues, as I said before Onkyo makes great sounding gear, the bang for the buck is off the charts."Cerrot is right. I've been watching you make a lot of claims that you can't back up. You just keep talking.
