See my system page. I use their audio refinement line wit proacs and mogami wire. Love the sound.  
Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K
Try to find some used ProAc 148s. Or, get some ProAc DT8. Add some Soundocity SEV9 outriggers. See my system page.  
Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range.
$500 AT-33PTG/II microline low mc from 2juki on eBay. Many say best cartridge under $1000. I have one on my modified RP6.  
Speaker suggestions
ProAc DT8 or studio 148 with Soundocity SEV9 outriggers.  I love my 148s (see system details). 
Rega RP8 vs. Planar 6
I would say buy an RP6, GT reference subplatter, Herbie mat, very good low MC phono preamp and AT-33PTG/II from 2juki on eBay. Is what I have and sounds great 
Is anyone aware of a 2 channel preamp....
I have an Outlaw ICBM-1 that I am not using and maybe time to sell. Might get close to where you want.  
XiangSheng 728A
Where did you get this new version? I am thinking about getting one in black to use part time in my system. Would you say the output gain of this preamp is high, average or low? What is the difference between the high and low outputs?

Creek or Classe Integrated amp
Try to find a used Audio Refinement Complete integrated with remote.  I use and love their separates (see system details). 
BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?
I win, haha:https://www.proaudiola.com/product-p/1-m2549-rca-rca-1.htmlove and use this cable for DYI RCA. Upgrading the connectors is a big difference. Furutech 126g are excellent.  
Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
Best ProAcs you can afford with downward firing ports and Soundocity outriggers. I love my ProAc Studio 148s and was a musician for 12 years. They get the strings and double reeds oh so right plus have no problem compressing the room with clean cl...

Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects
Here is what I use for core wire but not sure about the connectors. They might be able to upgrade the connectors. Many manufacturers use the 2549 cable with a custom outer jacket. https://www.amazon.com/Foot-Directional-High-Definition-Interconnec... 
Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects
I use Mogami 2549 in all my RCAs with either KLEI copper harmony or furutech 126g RCAs with ground floated / shotgunned at one end. See my system details. I’ve tried many power conditioners as I have some DC on the line and every one killed dynami...
