Good Cartridge For an Audio Note TT-1
If you like the sound, I think the natural progression would be the IQ2 or 3 if you could find one used to keep it <$500. When I owned the TT2 I first auditioned the IQ1 and 2 and ended up with the 3. Each step gives you what you are looking fo... 
German "plug and play" turntable
With that speaker amp combo it's really more dependent on the cart maker and quality and phono pre. IMO MM would be the way to go. Lower priced MC (I assume you're not planning to spend more for the cart than the table) would be too bright for the...

I recently attempted to contact B&K/ATI via telephone and email regarding an older model pre pro I was experiencing problems with.They never bothered to return my phone calls or email. 
Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp?
I haven't owned the MET150, but I have listened to it. As a reference I also use CJ tube equip. in my 2ch./HT system. IMO, it really depends what your priority is. 2ch. or HT? The MET will give you what you're looking for in terms of more refineme...

MC4 is a good unit. I used one for several years until one day it just didn't turn on. Still looks like new in the original box with original manual and accessories. Be happy to send it to you for the cost of shipping, if you want it for spare par... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

B&K Ref. 30 Problem
Loomis, also:2.1 Get center channel info. through front L&R this way. Also get center channel info. through front L&R when I listen through digital connection in stereo. 
B&K Ref. 30 Problem
Loomis, here goes:1. Get sound through front and surrounds both;2. For Fios through digital using surround. For BD through 5.1 analog using dvd audio;3. No but does not matter what input I connect to DVD, TV, SAT, etc., I still do not get center i... 
B&K Ref. 30 Problem
Noble, thanks again. My only problem is through the digital inputs. When I hook-up BD through the analog inputs, the 5.1 center channel information comes through the front L&R speakers loud and clear.Loomis, you mention somethings I haven't th... 
B&K Ref. 30 Problem
Thanks Noble. Center is already set to "None" in an attempt to generate the phantom center. That's my dilemma. Still will not process the center information to the Front left and right speakers. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Have to agree about the attitude @ Sunny's. Called them earlier this year to purchase (used) speakers. Unsolicited the Owner proceeded to tell me that the speaker Mfg. was a whore because he sold direct and he just "wanted to get rid" of them. The...
