Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
You should definitely check out Revel F228be or even Revel F208's . I auditioned Monitor Audio against Revels on the same system of electronics in the same room and the Revels were much better. I bought the Revel F228be's and love their Soundstage... 
Meitner Ma3 Streaming vs Aurender
Aurender makes great streamers, I love mine but Mytek Manhattan is a great dac that you can add a network card for great results. I don't hear enough about Mytek days on Agon much but have great reviews.   
What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
Mytek Manhattan makes a great dac with mqa in that price range and is Stereophile class A   
Preamp headphone amplifier

Velocityofhue    Thanks for the reply. I like mostly 60's, 70's , 80's rock not much hard rock unless driving. More like Steely Dan, Boston, Ambrosia,  etc. Lots of music with instruments and harmonies. My current setup is the 526 preamp, Levinson... 
Streaming DAC recommendation
I would keep your preamp in the mix with one of the streamer/dac combos recommended here as all are very good. i've read and heard with my own ears that a good preamp adds some magic than just a dac as volume control.

Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
Good streamers are just as important as other equipment. Get a good streamer like an Aurender.  
Ultrasonic cleaning
I have the Kirmuss which cleans 3 at a time for about $1,000. I have seen a new product HumminGuru on Amazon for $499 which cleans and drys 1 record at a time. It has good reviews.   
Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer?
I have a Aurender that I'm very happy with. You can get used for your price range and would be very happy with the sound performance and user interface.   
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Keep your speakers and get a Mark Levinson no526 pream and 534 Amp, that will set you back 50k, then upgrade to Cardas Clear cables another 10k and then treat your room another 2k. Then spend the rest on vacations and travel. Now you're set!

Fbgbill, What exactly does the photoflo do?   
Ultrasonic cleaning
Thanks for feedback. I have found using a vacuum Record cleaner to rinse and dry after ultrasonic cleaning seems to give best results.
