Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else?

SS preamp suggestion with built-in phono section
+1 on Luxman. Also Rotel integrateds and preamps.  
Why is most everything remastered?
Do remasters count as a new work ? Could be a way for record companies to extend copyright.    
Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above
Keep the Technics, spend your money on mats, isolation, cartridges, more records  :) 
What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ??
I'd go for the Pro-ject, easier to setup with different cartridges.
