$100,000 line stage
Give me a break. Only super speakers have the right to cost that much. Complete BS. 
High-Resolution Audio (Battle of the Sound). What say you?
Yes, that and also my favourite thing with the vinyl is cleaning stylus before every play. All this is one of the reasons of why I put what I listen to most on tape. Push the button and you are good for 45 minutes, and if you have a Nak Dragon wit... 
Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers
JM Labs Focal/Allnic or VAC is another well-known match. Vienna, I think, needs poweful solid state, I didn't hear that particular model only a few lower models. What else?..Pass/ Dynaudio, Gryphon/just about anything, Atma-Sphere/Classic Audio, L...

Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers
However, this doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do to help. If you describe in details using an advanced language what you would like to accomplish and what your priorities in music and sound are, some people with a lot of experience, not ... 
Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor

Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Great.  
Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor
It is impossible for us to make a recommendation. There are so many at this level, it will also be system dependent. I myself am thinking about it too, but under $1k. I am sure you have a few cords that you use with your equipment, you could exper... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Then, Ralph, I have a suggestion. Why don't you design a hybrid integrated amp at the level of Ypsilon or beyond with a great phono stage? And not $25k one. 
Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent
Original Japanese promo records from seventies and early eighties. It's as if you'd just upgraded your entire system. Played with the same arm and cartridge, of course. Forget the fancy arms and cartridges to begin with - get the recordings in the... 
Analog Front End Next Upgrade
Yeah, I would've done either the same or got Sutherland 20/20.However I am a Purist Audio cables fan and don't use Cardas, though I am unfamiliar with his newer cables. 
How "Tribal" are we?
mulveling, you are Japanese audiophiles tribe, but you don't seem to know it. Just add reel to reel or Nakamichi deck if you don't have one. 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Why would a respected tube amp designer want to play with something very different?
