Io line out mod?
I owned an Io with that feature. Jim White did it when Aesthetix upgraded my Io to Signature level. It shows that it can be done. Contact Aesthetix directly and find out what they charge. 
I'm taking a poll...
Rauliruegas has very good points on how to look at the LP system. So my answer is: it depends on your system and if your are playing mono or stereo!My situation: I have a one TT/Arm system but play stereo with a Koetsu OPS in one B-44 arm wand and... 
Measure My Turntable Speed
I never tried that method, but it sounds correct. I guess several HI FI test records have those test tones. So a test record could be found in used record bins. Since you feel confident in reading a meter, give it a shot and let us know.The KAB is... 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
One of the best finals ever! Great to see a fantastic rivalry again. I hope Nadal goes more world wide now. 
Blue Note reissues as an investment?
Buy the LPs you want and you are investing in your music enjoy every time you put one on the TT. Get a spare if you think you need a back up, but think of it as a spare only.

Considering VAC Phi sound quality I would go the extra mile on this. If you have a dealer for HRS and our Critical Mass Systems. I would try HRS first them CMS. You'll be so please about the results. I heard these on fully tweaked systems and the ... 
Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to
1950 -60ish KLH Record player. Upgrade would be sony tape, 
B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's?
They are both dynamic designs at roughly the same price/quality level. No question the 800d's are better for HT than the V-3 and are as good (only different) for audio. There are lots of sideway moves at your system level. You better love the next... 
Modern day female jazz recommendations
Try Esperanza Spalding for a contemporary jazz female vocalist and she plays the Bass during her songs. Saw her on David Letterman's show this last week. She's new, but worth hearing right now.
