Best integrated tube amp for 1500?
I will stand for Stingray if you don't need more than 50W/ch. I will acquire it someday to biamp my speakers for the mids and highs, but it only worth $1500 when you buy it used. 
budget cleaning ideas for garage sale records?

Phono Cartridge recommendation
Dynavector 10X4 is the ideal cartridge in your case. it has 2.5mV output and more musical than Sumiko BPS.You can also consider deals on Sumiko BPS. I've used it but found it someway too agressive and edgy(maybe I didn't break it in and sold it af...

Converting to Analog
I believe that analogue reproduction is always according to the price you're investing. To get the sound level for $10k you must either spend $10k or acquire it used for less.

Gipsy Kings,Paco De Lucia,Emanuel Baruecco -- classical latin guitar of composers such as Hektor Villa Lobos, Leo Brouer.Vince Mendoza/Arif Mardin project Jazzpan'a featuring Los Joven'os Flamencos with WDR big band. 
Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada .
Hmmm... What I believe is that what TACT unit accommodates in one box isn't necessary to the vast consumer and that makes this unit overpriced (please forgive me in re-directing this discussion). There are some consumers that don't want built-in D... 
Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations?
In your situation it would be more reasonable to spend only half of your budget for the cartridge and the other half to place either inside the pocket or upgrade the phono stage.EAR 834P, Trichord Delphini, Trichord Dino and also Benz PP1 is on my...
