The MBL Master Reference System without question! I've heard this system several times. I'll probably never have the money, (or the proper room) for it, but hey I can dream.MBL "The Music Lover" 
Okki Nokki RCM-5 vs VPI 16.5
As I've stated this before on here, I have probably the oldest VPI HW-16.5 serial number 15.It started as a HW-16, then when VPI offered the .5 upgrade kit, I installed it. My unit is well over 30 years old and has cleaned tens of thousands of rec...

Anti-skating- test records vs. ears
I agree with Al, (as usual). I have set-up hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of turntables and I have almost always found a setting of 60% of the VTF to be right on.If you are tracking at 1.8 grams, I would set my anti skating right around 1.

If you can spend just a little more, the Ortofon Red at $99 is a killer cartridge.The Shure M97xE is really good also and can be found for around your budget.

"The Breeze"
I've had the CD version for a few weeks now and have listened to it several times through.The first few songs are pretty good, but it does indeed go downhill from there.I also had high expectations, but overall, I am disappointed in the music.I wa... 
Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6.
Looking at your system, the little Pioneer speakers, (which, btw, are very nice) only have a 4 inch driver, so the low bass just isn't going to be there.Adding a subwoofer would solve this.Either of the Regas will be a major step up from the Sony ...

Rega TT-PSU drops right channel
Scott, glad you got it fixed! I still don't understand how a power supply can affect the ground on an isolated tonearm?I've seen many things in all the years I was in the high-end audio business, so really nothing should shock me. I'll add this to... 
cd-r music for blanks
I use both the Maxell and Sony. I haven't had any problems with them.I've heard, but never actually used, the Mobile Fidelity Gold Discs are very good. They're kinda pricey though.
