With average use how long for panel replacement ML
In general, it's pretty much agreed upon, that every 12-15 years you should replace the panels with normal use. The cost of replacement panels just skyrocketed, so I would check with Jim Powers, (I agree, Jim is a GREAT guy) to see how much the pa... 
Vinyl Front End Upgrade
I second the ARC phono stages. 
Non-Linn Speakers for an all Linn system
I'll add: Some of the older Mission and Celestion speakers. 
Refoaming vintage OHM speakers
You could also try Simply Speakers. They have reconed/refoamed several drivers for me and did a wonderful job. They sell kits too, if you want to do it yourself, but their prices are quite reasonable.www.simplyspeakers.com 
Odyssey Stratos vs KAV Krell 300i
I haven't heard the Krell, but I have owned every version of the Odyssey Stratos amps. Started with the basic Stratos amp, liked it so much I sold it and bought the "cap upgraded", (now called the PLUS) version. Liked it so much, I sold it and bou...

Compatible stylus for a Shure V-15 series III

Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread
Tone Audio, (online mag) has an excellent write-up on the new sets and the differences in the sound between the mono and stereo versions. Both are quite good, but they say the monos are "something special". 
How to listen to the Beatles re-releases?
Rock-N-Roll, as we know it today, would not exist without the Beatles...period. 
Micro Acoustics vs Grace F-9 MM's
I am also on the Grace F9E side of the street, but will take it one notch above. If you send the Grace into SoundSmith and have their $250.00 retip service done, this new cartridge will compete with any MM out there and IMHO be the best. I've owne... 
Phono pre-amps with volume control
The PS Audio GCPH has a volume control. 
Thorens Sampler 3LP Sound?
I concure with Davt. It's expensive, but well worth the money. One of the best recorded and pressed albums I've ever heard.
