Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP
Sorry, I also might add to try some different interconnect cables too.

You could try to dampen the wall behind the speakers and the side walls. You could also get a 2ohm or even a 3ohm resistor and try that, but normally dipoles need some type of acoustic treatment. 
2ce sig ii tilt and listening height
The only answer is what sounds better to you? Almost all systems will shift the image and soundstage as you move up and down and side to side. Find the sound you're looking for and "listen to the music". 
USED VINYL

Your best chair you listen to your gear
If you have the bucks, Ekornes Stressless Chairs are probably one of the best. Very comfortable and cool looks.BTW, I've seen Theo play his "air" instruments...it isn't pretty.

Difficulty determining cartridge specs for preamp
The specs I found for the Samba indicate an output of .38mv, so I would recommend up around 60db or so, but as Viridian said above, it also depends on the gain of your preamp added in. The load impedance is stated at 10 ohms and usually moving coi... 
Still Looking for Amplifier Power cord
You could try the Signal Cable or the Shunyata Venom 3.

Different Rega Logo Colors?
I'm pretty sure that the older Planar 2 and Planar 3 models had the green print. The P2 and P3(2000) models had the white print and the newest P3-24 model has the black print. The P2 is no longer bring made.
