New VPI Turntables - Titan, Prime Signature, Scout 2016, plus new tonearm lift and SDS?
Thanks for the info and pics! 
Bookshelf speakers on a budget
Elac Uni-Fi UB5. Nothing comes close for the money. 
Turntable hookup to HT Receiver?
AFAIK, some tape outputs "might" be buffered, but not the inputs. I could be wrong, but I think that’s how it works."If the tape outputs are buffered, and most aren't, the output impedance of these outputs is basically the output impedance of th... 
Turntable hookup to HT Receiver?
As long as you have an outboard phono stage any line level input will work. They’re all the same just different names.  Whether they are labeled  "Tuner", "CD", "Tape", "Aux".You can NOT run the table straight into a line level input. You need eit...

Riser for record player on top of receiver?
What about building a shelf above the receiver, say a foot or two above. Is that also a bad idea b/c of the heat and potential interference? That should work fine.  As long as it's a foot or two above the receiver.  Use at least a 1 inch or e... 
Riser for record player on top of receiver?
You really should never put anything (especially a turntable) on top of a receiver.The receiver has a transformer that can cause EMI noise and like mentioned above, RFI from the tuner section. 
Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it?
"Roundabout" alone is worth the price of admission. It’s differently on my top 10 list of songs, but the album Fragile is more like in my top 50 or so. 
Elac Uni-Fi UB5
It isn’t the cabinet that is wrong. The only thing that got messed up is the color of cone on the midrange driver.It has slight green tint to it, but, IMHO, looks kinda cool. Music Direct had some of these units, full warranty for $399 a pair. Pre... 
Rare and non-heavy advertised Ribbon \ Foil cables?
NordostWeber Wire (one of the original) 
Magnepan MMG, 2015
Are you sure they were the MMGs and not the new .7s?  The .7s replaced the MG-12s. 
Any Experience with Rega RS-7
The RS-7s are a very decent speaker and at half price a KILLER deal!Many great reviews.http://www.stereotimes.com/speak022306.shtml 
What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s?
Why not try a pair of the Magnepan DWM woofers.  These are not subwoofers per se, but will add more panel area and will really smooth out that bottom end and it will seem like you added subs.I heard a pair of the 20.7s with (2) of these and it was... 
Best Rock Album of 2016
Listened to the new Peter Wolf Album last night.  "A Cure For Loneliness".  A little different from his past few albums.More on the Americana/Bluegrass/Country side of things, but still pretty damn good.He does a Hillbilly/Bluegrass version of "Lo... 
stylus choice for v-15 type iv
Steve, yeah I can't remember how long it's been since I've tracked a cartridge at under 1.5-1.75 grams?  Most modern carts track at that or even a little higher.These old Shures are indeed a blast from the past and still hold their own.
