Spliting TaraLabs Bi-wire Cables to Use Two Posts
It won't make a difference. You have internal bi-wire. Return the cable before you ruin it and either buy 4 lengths of the same cable or keep what you have.

Ortofon SMG 212 Question
I would think that if the head shell locks into place with the tone arm, you should be fine. You could check out the plumbing aisles at Lowes or Home Depot and pick up the appropriate size o ring to fill in the gap. 
kimber silver streak vs Audioquest colorado

I don't know if you saw it, but the online blog audiostream just did a report on Dac-2 dsde and LOVED it. I am using a Wyred Dac-1 and V-Link192 and I love the way it sounds. I have a dedicated laptop for the setup. In my case, I would have to sel... 
MBL 101e mk 2 Speaker Owners?
I really don't have any more money to throw into the system, so changing the amp to MBL amps won't happen. I am getting the speakers for free, so if they don't sound good with my system, they will go back to the owners son.

Why don't you hook it up and tell us how it sounds? 
Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables
What don't you like about the system/cables that gives you the desire to upgrade? Those MIT cables were around 400-500 for the interconnects. Those are fairly expensive already by my standards.
