Re Issue vs Re Re Issue
The OJCs are a real bargain. The Analogue Productions are better but not 5 times better. Buy all the OJCs you can find. You won't be disappointed. 
Who can repair Sonic frontiers preamps?
Yes, you can use a converter. For modification contact Chris Johnson at The Parts Connexion. 
DAC under $1K
In my opinion, the BelCanto DAC2 (or even the DAC1) would be better than anything else you mention. The DAC2 can be found used for under $750 and the DAC1 for less than $500.Both are most musical, analog sounding DACs I've ever heard that don't co... 
What are the advantages of tubes in a CD Player?
Of the ones you mentioned I prefer the Apollo. Tubes, properyly implemented, can help digital. Having tubes doesn't make it automatically better than a solidstate player. You have to listen. 
Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album?
The Eagles came out swinging. Their debut LP contained three hit singles (Take It Easy, Witchy Woman and Peaceful Easy Feeling). They went on to shape the 70s California sound. 
Good amp repair shop in L.A.?

Dynaco?
A PAS-3, in restored condition, can sound pretty good. A PAT-4 is early solidstate and sucks.

It's Pink. 
Beatles on vinyl -- what to look for ...
You're right. Many of us misread. In that case, I recommend the UK Blue Box from 1978. Very good analog pressings and can be found for $200 to $400. 
Beatles on vinyl -- what to look for ...
Since cost is no object the very best are yellow and black Parlophones for titles up through SPLHCB. They are very expensive in Mint condition but will smoke anything else and are far, far superior to the MoFi discs. For titles from The White Albu... 
Bookshelf speakers for HDTV
Check out PSB. They make excellent floorstanding speakers with a narrosw footprint and they are not audiophool expensive. 
Low volume bookshelf spkrs that go from 20 to 20k?
A 20hz soundwave is 27.5 feet long. It simple can't be achieved in a small room though the apparent bass can be very good in a properly treated room.
