Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound...
Yeah, well, I think you just have to find a way to keep the amps you have. As much as I like Lamm, I would see no point of getting them unless you actually like their sound with your speakers more than with Pass. 
Echole cables
Ebm, get out of my thread, please. 
Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV?

Fake cables might sound good too, that doesn't mean that you want them.You could buy from me if I had anything to sell. I don't at the moment. That would be a guarantee. My cables are not fakes unless they are made so well that even the manufactur... 
Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ?
Used Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm and a cartridge. That would probably be more than $1500 by $300-$400 if you want new cartridge. Never put German cartridge on British table - they won't match well. British, Swiss, Japanese, Australian OK.
