Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K?
Here's another vote for the Odyssey Stratos. You might even find an Extreme version around that price range. 
Advise for my Magnepan 3.5 R
My choice would be: Belles 350 Reference or a pair of the Odyssey Stratos Mono Extremes.

Is "audiophile" being overused in the LP listings?
I think that "Hot Stamper" is being WAY over used also. I'm not sure if most sellers, (or buyers) even know what a "Hot Stamper" is, but they claim this in their ads and then jack the price way up??? 
Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed
I meant to add that it would be a major injustice if someone doesn't release this on vinyl...45 RPM VINYL! How about it Classic or Mobile Fidelity? 
update recommendations
I have a fully tricked out Rega 25. I think the best, (most cost effective) upgrades were the subplatter, (I have the Deep Groove) and the Heed Orbit outboard power supply. I also have the Groovetracer platter, ClearAudio Turbo dropped counterweig... 
All time favorite speaker cables
My pick would be the Cardas Hexlink Golden 5-C also. I have owned about every frickin' cable ever made and always go back to these. The Cardas Hexlink Golden 5 would be on my list too. 
TT mat suggestions...
I second the Boston Mat. I have one on my Oracle and I really like it. I also have a Funk Firm mat, (and platter for that matter :-)) and these are nice also. 
What amp to drive Magnepan MG12QR's
I agree with Wendell, (Narrod).I found the Belles 150A Hot Rod to be magical with my MG12s. I also have used the Odyssey Stratos amps with great success. 
What is the best place to buy tubes?
Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. I have bought well over $2000 worth of tubes from him over the years and have NEVER had a bad or mismatched one. I am a VERY satisfied customer!!! 
My favorite Steely Dan song has to be...
Tie:"Doctor Wu" off of "Katy Lied""Almost Gothic" off of "Two Against Nature"

Acoustic Sounds Customer Service
I also have never had but the BEST of service from Acoustic Sounds and I've been buying from Chad since he was in his little one bedroom apartment, (well over 20 years). I also buy these same inner sleeves in 100 lots and have no problem with them.
