MC phono preamp
Noromance - that’s the hard part. I can only trust my own ears. There are some cases where better is better and it’s universal, but musical tastes and sound preferences are so subjective, it’s tough to trust what others write about products. I thi...

Dynavector 10x5. Also obtained new on the relative cheap due to the company getting out of the two-channel business. And correct - the MoFi provides both MC and MM capability. And for $250 I quite like it's sound.

I've looked at the Comet. Tempting. I'm familiar with Rega's tone arms. Thanks.

Kef 150s—Just got 'em
Just saw a pair on our local Craigslist site for $999 and almost bit on them, but I just built two new systems, one for home and one for work so passed. How are they?  
Desktop system for work.
I've been eyeballing the 3020. Very very tempting.
