Thank you all for the time you took in responding. I have ordered tapes and should have soon. I will check all carefully and bring it into servicing. It's just to start me off and if I enjoy it as much as I hope, and really use it as a source, wil... 
VPI Tnt Questions
Thanks alot. I will try it soon. I just broke one of my tara labs preamp to amp xlr cables so will not be able to listen for a while. Great time to upgrade. We'll see how Tara's upgrade policy is. They're exceptionally good guys so should be painl...

Dgarretson,Yhanks. Regular sewing thread? 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
Keep in mind, that radio station may be using DACS that are much, much better than the dacs in your (or your friends CD player) and TT may not be either set up properly or up to snuff. I had a local FM station and when it was up and running, I was... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
I agree with the Revel Salon 2 - awesome speaker for the price. 
Can digitizing vinyl match CD?
...which leads me to a question.Any benefit burning a redbood CD on the Masterlink to 24/88.2? Being the original source material is 16/44.1, is it that if it isn't already there, it won't make a difference?

Cheap Plater dust cover
I have found that the Elios (from Ohio, not New Jersey) does the best job. There are two from Ohio - I recommend the one with the green tab in the lower left corner; the ones with the green tab in the lower right corner are actually made by Tombst... 
New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement?
I'm actually surprised that no one is holding back their comments pending original poster stating what dac it is. We're all working in the blind here. Isolation, source material, it is a crappy transport (but a $2k dac should STILL be better). (ev... 
Ayre CX7e win Hydra 2
Go as high as you can afford. Hopefully, you can go for at least the Taipans (Vx). If you can swing the Pythons, go for it. 
Widening Soundstage
Get a pair of Shatki Holographs and put a pair of echo busters where your first speaker reflections are... that will W I D E N the sounstage like nothing you can imagine (with the existing gear you have).

Sorry, but no where enough money for my dream system. My dream alone turntable is $150,00. You did say dream... 
VPI Scoutmaster with Super Platter
I have a TNT Jr (No ring, Living Voice carbon mat and Black Diamond Carbon clamp), and the difference was very obvious. It was a new, better, player.
