Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i
i've heard that benz micro work well with jmw tonearms. i have their low end mc cart on my jmw-9 sig. and really enjoy it. in your price range, you have several options in the benz family up to the gullwing (shr or slr, depending on your choice of... 
What's the farthest you've traveled for live music
i've driven about 330 miles from mobile, alabama to see a concert in atlanta, georgia a few times. typically though, i drive to new orleans for live shows and general debauchery. 
Music File Storage Preference
i have my music files stored on a 1TB hard drive in a folder named "ALBUMS". They are arranged by "artist - album name". i only have about 500 albums though, but i like it this way. for multi-disc sets, i just save them as (Disc 1) and (Disc 2). e... 
Small Footprint Speakers for Rock
what price range are you looking for? a pair of gershman avant garde rx-20 have a small 13"x13" footprint and really work well with rock in my experience. 
Best Phono Preamp under $300 ?
cambridge audio 640p is a good inexpensive phono preamp ($179 new). i'm using it with my vpi scoutmaster and benz mc20e2l cartridge with very nice results.

Logitech Duet vs. Dedicated Transport
i couldn't tell the difference between my squeezebox 3 and shigaraki transport, both feeding a shigaraki dac. just my ears in my system. ymmv.

Beatles Mono Boxes Good news more on the way
dungn:i didn't know. just ascertained from the tone of your post. you would've probably had better luck living in a tiny village up north. i live in a smallish town (~400,000 pop.), and nobody around here seems to care about music or sound quality... 
beatle remasters on vinyl?
well actually, i only had a crappy cd copy of sgt. peppers, let it be, and the second disc of the white album, so getting the entire set in mono plus the remaining remastered stereos was a no brainer for me. and....since i don't have any beatles a... 
beatle remasters on vinyl?
since we're discussing mono/stereo vinyl, do i need a mono cart to play the mono vinyl (if it surfaces?)? if so, i'd probably just spring for the stereo vinyl as i don't wanna buy a new cart just for a few albums. 
beatle remasters on vinyl?
a bunch of speculation online is all i've seen. i've heard 10.10.10 or this november. time will tell. 
Beatles Mono Boxes Good news more on the way
