Looking for cartridge for VPI traveler
Why do you want a low compliance cartridge? VPI sold that table with a Grado Gold which is not a low compliance cartridge!Here is a review!https://www.stereophile.com/content/vpi-industries-traveler-turntable 
Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
I’ve owned many amps over the years and have never had to replace a fuse. You would be better off getting another amp and putting that one into your spares closet! 
Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns
A SET amp with 270 watts? That can’t be possible! 
Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k
How are you using the subs xover if you are using an integrated amp? Are you sure you are hooking it up correctly?

Connecting confusion
I showed you the link to that type of cable. I use that from my TV to my analog integrated amp and it works fine!

You can use a HDMI to RCA cable and plug it into the Hegal.  Something like this will do the trick!https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=hdmi+with+rca+cable&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
The OP has an integrated amp. You can only do that with a separate amp and preamp. He will have to run his speakers full range. I use the JL d110 (no high pass filter) with the p3 and it blends nice! 
Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9
With your musical tastes maybe you should look for another type of speaker. If possible JBL might be worth an audition!https://www.musicdirect.com/Search?searchterm=jbl&sort=popularity%7CDESC&page=1&pagesize...

IN YOUR EXPERIENCE ?? WHAT IS THE QUIETEST 12AX7 TYPE TUBE ??? 6072 ? Spiral Filament
I use GE 12ax7s circa 60’s and 70’s in my phono preamp and they are dead quiet. I have also used Sylvania Baldwin green label 12ax7s and they are also dead quiet! 
Cabinet clearance for Audio Acoustics LS16 tube pre-amp?
All these consoles from the 50’s and 60’s that your granddaddy owned were all tube. Many are still working today with no problem! I doubt an enclosed preamp with its small tubes would be something to worry about!https://www.pinterest.com/retromodr...
