Micro Seiki TT problem
Unless you're willing to fork over a ridiculous amount of money for NOS feet, you need to be creative. Sorbothane is an excellent vibration damper. 
Micro Seiki TT problem
More than likely, it's the control unit. I don't have a recommendation for a repairman, but Vinylengine has the service manual. This should help a technician diagnose the problem. 
Do I need a DAC?
The DAC in the Airport Express is low quality. I agree with Mesch that it's your weak link. I'm sure your system is capable of showing an improvement, but whether you can hear it is the question. I was in your shoes a few years ago and I replaced ...

Shahinian Diapason
It's obviously a Seas driver. I bet you'll get more information from Vasken if you call him rather than email. My friend Rpfef has talked to them a number of times and was able to get the model number for his Hawk woofer. Email is easy to ignore. ...

Looking to Improve Music Played from Apple TV
I haven't seen any jitter measurements for the Apple TV, but if it's anything like the Airport Express, you'll get better sounding results with your computer connected directly to your DAC. That would be my first suggestion. Unrelated to the Apple... 
Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume?
You should use an SPL meter to measure the difference. Please report back. 
60Hz humm in Sunfire SRA.
It's unnecessary to use the same brand of caps. Some of those companies may not exist anymore. Just make sure the replacements are identical in value (uF and voltage). Standard operating temp is 85 degrees, but 105 is becoming more and more common...
