New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
Sorry for the late response guys.....I actually really still need to put more break in hours on the 600's to get an over all feel for the amps, but so far, I would say as good as the 500's where (I preferred the 500's over the 1000's), the 600's d... 
What is the best usb convertor
The Bel Canto REFLink and uLink both work very well.***Bel Canto dealer disclaimer 
The Best New HT Processor
The Krell Foundation is pretty impressive. I've sold several of them.Great sound on 2 channel as well as HT, which is not always the case with pre/pro's.**Krell dealer disclaimer** 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
I've had my demo pair of the 600's for a few weeks now. Very impressed so far. Still likely need a few more break in hours on them, but they are quite good.**Bel Canto dealer disclaimer** 
Phono preamp with two inputs: two MMs or MM+MC?
The Cary PH302 has separate MM/MC inputs. And the Manley Stingray has 2 MC inputs and an MM input (3 total).****Cary and Manley dealer disclaimer*** 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Like mentioned above, try and see if you can take a listen to the Alta Celesta/FRM-2's. They are simply fantastic with amazing bass response for a "bookshelf".http://alta-audio.com/collection/frm-2/There are several VERY positive reviews on these ... 
ARC VSI 60 vs Cary SLI 80 or BAT 300xse
I would hope that the VSI75 would sound a little better then the Cary.....ITS TWICE THE PRICE! $9000 versus $4500 
Which one...?
Soix's suggestion above is great option. The new/updated DAC3.7 is really, really good.One other thought (if you are looking for further options) is the new Cary DMC600 (or 600SE). This is an extremely impressive DAC/CD player.http://www.caryaudio... 
Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
As mentioned above, what's your budget?If you want a bookshelf with basically true, full range capability, then it's hard to beat the Alta Celesta/FRM-2. Some of the best speakers I have ever heard and serious bottom end for a speaker of it's size... 
Schmitt Custom Audio cables
Hey Scott,Welcome to NC! Good to see another audio guy move to our area.As Scott mentioned above (this is Taylor with Goldprint Audio), I am also quite close to you. About 15 minutes or so away from downtown Winston-Salem over in Oak Ridge.Hope to... 
VPI Scout 1.1 Cartridge Recommendation
VPI and Ortofon Dealer Disclaimer****The Quintet Black is an awesome choice for the 1.1, as is the Quintet Bronze.If you need to stick with MM, then go for the 2m Black, as it also works very well on that table. 
Krell Duo 300 Amp Quality
ZD542-- You bring up a good point. But I think Krell (and Cary as well) are proving that they can and will roll out new product that's just as good (or even better) then before. The iBias amps are a great example. Just really, really good stuff.An... 
Krell Duo 300 Amp Quality
I'm a Krell dealer, so of course take my post with a grain of salt, but I believe the new Krell iBias amps are fantastic. I wish more people would take a chance and just go listen to them (I have a feeling most people knocking their looks have not... 
What tube preamp is a step up from Rogue Magnum 99
Since you liked the Rogue as much as you did, you may want to check out their new pre's that are coming. The RP5 should be out very soon. 
Hum from VPI Scout Stock Motor
Is this Scout new? Or has the noise just started on an older table?
