Replacement for my Beveridge RM-1 and MD D-75?
Music REference RM 4+? Roger is still around and making some great products. 
ZeroDust still the best?
I just started using the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that a lot of other members here use. Works better and easier to use in my system than the Zero Dust. 
GG Rev. MK1 Vs. Rev. MK2
Glory,I have noticed I can edit my threads on occasion. After it's posted you could go right to it and there is an edit feature you can click on. maybe this feature is only available for a while and then it is disabled. It used to be Audiogon took... 
Power Cable Shootout...
Mrjstark,If you're interested in shielding check out the Oyaide Tunami GPX or Acrolink PCs. They are in your price range and are great values for the price. 
Power Cable Shootout...
Here are 6 cables I have heard in my system on my amp that you could easily do a shoot out with:Purist Audio Dominus (Ferrox)Stealth M5000LesslossTel WireAcoustic ReviveTRL (formerly CRL/FIM) SilverThe pricing varies, most are available used, some... 
Monarchy NM24 as a pre-amp -- good enough for me?
The preamp section is very good and you should be happy with it. Other than the volume control, the only negative is high gain, but that applied to my system and in yours may not be an issue.You could always switch out the volume pot later if you ... 
TVC Promethius versus Bent
Unfortunately that was not me who was able to play with a prototype. I actually live in Las Vegas.I have been in touch with John about building the TAP with a K&K or some other phono stage so it would be full function. It will most likely requ... 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 TRL Audio mod
TRL offers a money back guarantee as well. 
Who does best SS preamp modifications?
Give Paul Weitzel at TRL a call. He may be able to help. Has modified and built several things for me. 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 TRL Audio mod
Tvad makes a good point about resale value of modded units. Like Grannyring I can attest to the TRL Sony 900 player as one of the better CDPs I have heard. For the price it's a no brainer. Never heard GNSC mods to the Opus, but Robert at Ridge Str... 
DAC for CEC TL51x
I use a Lessloss DAC 2004 MkII that the TL-51X is slaved to which sounds great. However the Lessloss is way over your budget. I would seek out a Monarchy M24 DAC if you can find one used. Generally around $750. Other than that in your price range ...

Best poweramp $2-4K matched with Cary SLP-98
Second the V12i, that is what I used with mine. Cary V12R or even the AES 6 packs would work too.From the solid state side I used a TRL D-225. You'll need to trim the gain knobs on the SLP-98 down though as this amp is very high gain. 
Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp
That is encouraging. The Audio Kinesis Stormbringers are an easy load as well. I guess I'll know more in a week or so. 
SOTA vacuum or no?
Consider resale value here as well. Also, while having more flexibility in arm matching, it would be erroneous to think you could use virtually any arm with a SOTA.That being said the SOTAs are great values. I had a NOVA Series V and enjoyed it ve...
