Best vinyl version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
The Classic 45 RPM version is SUPERB, but sadly, long out of print. If you can find it, buy it. 
Classe DR-15 amplifier compared to Classe Dr-9
I was a Classe dealer for many years and this is how I remember it:The DR-15 was indeed designed by David Reich AND Glen Grue and was a class A/B amplifier. The DR-3, DR-8 and DR-9 were pure David Reich designs and pure class A. They had a darker,... 
Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure?
Speaking for myself :-) that's why I have probably $10,000 worth of tubes,(2 drawers full) of different tubes. They sound different in different gear, so you should always keep a good stash. Some NOS brands and types are getting VERY hard to find. 
odyssey stratos
I currently have a Stratos DUAL-MONO on my CLSIIa. This amp works VERY WELL with these. The CLSIIa will drop below 1 ohm and this amp NEVER breaks a sweat! Very open sounding and I agree, a little dark. 
Doors Box SEt

Reliability of tubes/ Belles 150A vs Jolida 801A?

White Album, when's your last listen?
Last listen? Well doesn't everybody listen to them daily like me? Huh, weird.Rubber Soul is my "holy grail" of Beatles albums. 
Musical Fidelity XLP Gain
I have one of these also and recall a review that listed the MM at 40db and the MC at 60db. 
dusting? or covers?
Riffer...THANKS! I have been looking for this very same thing for quite awhile now. I went to their website and they seem very reasonably priced. I'm going to order a couple. 
Refurbish or Buy New Turntable
You can buy an "Oracle Maintainance Kit" for $150 that has new springs and washers and dampers and all kinds of stuff to update your Delphi...It's well worth the investment.
