Audible Illusions Modulus 2 vs. Modulus 3
You will not go wrong with either. The dual volume knobs are actually fine with me. I can't figure out why Sigmund has such a distaste for them. (He has eight arms and you only need one ;) I love my 3A but the 2 sounded great too. Plus I've never ... 
You used to love it but now.......................
I still love the unique bands. The ones' whose sound has never been copied like Jethro Tull. The inspirational mixed with pure genius like Kate Bush. Or the beginnings of something I'll love the outcome of. For example, I love Wilco but realize th... 
Speakers: What's MOST important to you?...
Realism, then soundstage depth (width is easy). Also, accuracy of the midrange. I'm with Philjolet and Phasecorrect on this important point the. After working the live voices and instruments for 10 years I can't handle most speakers when listening... 
Records of the Year 2003
Best without doubt:The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots"Wilco "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"Damien Rice "O"No way to shake the "bad" stick at them. 
Good ripping program - no compression
Mmrog, Vader007, and Ketchup - Can you rip on EAC and playback on MM (or visa versa). In fact, will MM play anything ripped on another product? 
Stevie Wonder MFSL Innervisions
Pursue the mfsl. It is one of their best efforts. if you're rich, just get it. If not, wait for a good price. It will come. 
A/V receiver for decoding and center/rear
I was also successful in doing what you've described. I have a Cambridge unit that decodes and powers the center and rears. It also has a line level subwoofer output. The unit is actually a Carver sold under the Cambridge name. I used it for four ... 
Philips 963 SA compatibility
PLayed both on mine. No problems. I use the coax digital output to the receiver. 
Rega P25 vs, Music Hall MMF-7 or 9
First, I'd say listen to both lines. Note that not all Rega's run fast and the fix for the ones that do is minor. Saying that, I chose the Rega Planar 25 because it's background is much blacker and it's pace smoother. (I hate describing things lik... 
Best multichannel SACDs?
There is only one (popular) Orff. The Carmana Burina. Get the SACD version with the dark cover. (Full orchestra and choir). 
Best multichannel SACDs?
Orff &Roxy Music "Avalon"Both untouchable. 
More finds out of town
I'm pretty sure the three Vintage Vinyl's I've dealt with in the USA have no relation to each other. The Vintage Vinyl in Fords, New Jersey is a great place for non-standard music for all walks of life. I used to work nearby and hit it up everyday... 
Turntable suggestions
I have a Rega Planar 25 with no tweeks that's been sounding wounderful for two years now. I bet you could still get one for less than $1000 table, arm, and cartridge included.

Message for Dan_ed: Hey! Stay outta' town! The P-Town Record Exchange is mine, mine, mine all mine! Just kidding. I go there everyday and guess what? It's different every day. 
Need advice re: Purchase of Reel to Reel
**Most important: You must determine if the shows were recorded as 1/2 track (2 channels) or 1/4 track (4 channels). Both are stereo formats. 1/2 track tapes play (in stereo) in one direction only. 1/4 track tapes play (in stereo) in both directio...
