Converting HiRes Files..Question
I use Amarra to convert flac....it's a simple menu driven process, about 4 or 5 clicks (select convert, select folder or file, select destination) then wait a min or two, it takes bit and it doesn't tell you it's working...the file just appears soon.

That Maestro Cartridge has a 3.6 mv output. Do you have your PH7 set to the MM or low gain setting?You have a great phono stage and preamp. I'd try and get a moving coli in the .5mv-1mv range. What about a Lyra Delos? Big step up in sound quality ... 
Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos?
I have 60db with Lyra Skala (same .5mv) and it's outstanding.

Lyra SPT and poor eyesight

SME 20/12 with V 12 VS Sme 30/2
Hi where do you live? I used to own a SME 20.2 and SME IV.Vi. I've read several reviews that took a stab at comparing the 20/12 and 30/2. Maybe check out a few reviews, a couple of trade magazines compared.http://www.sme.ltd.uk/content/Model-2012-... 
Neutral Sounding Silver Cables?
One I don't seem mentioned is the Purist Venastus. It's is a silver, gold, copper blend, but a killer cable in your price range. 
Need a SACD/Redbook player
under 3K? I'd put the Esoteric's on your list. The DV50s is killer for 1500 used...dv60 and UX3 are also better little more money...
