@spiritofradio I really like R. L. Burnside.  There's a lot of great storytelling to go along with the bluesy funky music he put out.

No, but I haven't bought it yet either.

Modwright LS100 vs The followings
With the right speakers the LS100 is capable of everything you described and it sounds like the rest of your system is. Maybe you should look somewhere else than the preamp.

Tom, I was not familiar with Budgie until recently.  I have a feeling the "B" section of my record collection will be expanding.

@tablejockey The Kiseki Blue NS is the best cartridge I own, or at least my favorite to listen to.  I bought mine at a significant discount from seller kron here. 
Modwright LS100 vs The followings
The only thing close to any of those you mentioned is an ARC LS 26.  The LS 26 is in my bedroom system, the LS 100 is in my main system.  To be fair, I've never tried the LS 26 in my main system to do an apples to apples comparison, but the LS 100... 
The Mighty Puffin
I moved my Puffin into my main system tonight until my new phono stage arrives. It doesn't quite have the body and heft of my Manley Chinook, but it's doing a respectable job and not doing anything "wrong".

@fuzztone the "brand new" stylus is a Jico SAS (boron) in my Shure V15 Type IV. It's a great value, certainly not in the league of some of my other carts, but hard to beat for the approx. $400 I paid for it and the Shure V15 with a broken stylus.
