Any Bob fans out there?
Are you kidding? One of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, in my not so humble opinion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bob Mould! My wife says his voice is other-wordly. One of the best live performers ever. I'm going to get the new CD today!Howard

Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies?
L-O-L-A, Tweedy? No, I'm in agreement with your wife. 
Best CDP in the $4k to $8k range
I agree with Kurt_tank. The Capitole MKII is an outstanding player. I owned the Opus 21, and believe the Capitole to be considerably better. More body to the music, and a far more seductive sound. Still, I would have a look at the modded players. ... 
Your choice for SET amp?
Fantastic. I have a friend who has both the Duo's and the 99's. He wouldn't be without either, and he loves trading equipment frequently. Enjoy!

Thanks for keeping us updated, Kevin. You'll end up with a superb amp, no doubt. Deciding between the PX25 and the 300B can be difficult. Quite a different sound, to my ear.All the best,Howard
