Peter, Can you refresh our memories and provide details as to what it is you are doing?Thanks 
What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with
Nolitan, I never had a SINGLE VK 60 driving the Avalons. Only the 60 monos and at 120 watts per side, they were glorious.BTW, if anyone decides to look for a pair, try to get a later serial #, i.e. last numbers in the 400+. The number refers to th... 
What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with
Maril, The Pllunas are fine, adequate. They are great for my room. I have been listening to Frank with Count Basie, Louie, Ella, some Ravel and now Nichlas Payton, the Pls whop ass. But the BATs had more sparkle, more there without effort. More ea... 
What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with
Nolitan, I used the 60s to run my Eclipses for about a year. They were by far the best (smooth and liquid) of any amp I tried. A pair of Odyssey monos were up there, but a not-so-slight grain caused me to reconsider. The only reason I sold the 60s...

Mario, Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned this: I currently use an RB300 with a Denon 103 on a rebuilt Lenco. It sounds great.Any ideas as to which cart would be a GREAT match for an RB1000? Lenco lovers?

preamp suggetions for mid lvl system
Keroo, I overlooked the 2 output aspect. However, a Pluna preamp just got posted on Adgon. You might inquire, but you are probably correct (just one output). 
Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ?
Paul, Thanks for he suggestion. The idea has intrigued me. Which arm have you used with the Denons?Docsavage, Thanks for the info "RGB1000 has an effective mass of ten." What does this mean in terms of which cart to use, what should I consider as ... 
preamp suggetions for mid lvl system
Keroo, Might you consider a used Primaluna preamp? Tubes would smooth out most or any fatigue. Plunas are fairly new and are still in good condition. I say go with tubes, the Plunas are well built, good match with solid state and deecent price use... 
Used turntable & arm combo for under $2500.0
The best for the money, for the best sound, IMHO- a Lenco with a Rega arm. No doubt whatsoever. Especially in your price range. 
Best affordable phono preamp?
I second the Wright (although I lean to the left). 
Iggy Pop & the Stooges Concert Rider...
I saw, or i should say "experienced" I Pop last year at Bumbershoot (see bumbershoot.org). It/he was quite amazing. I've been to MANY different concerts, from Cream, Blind Faith to Pharoa Saunders, Miles Davis, Billy Preston (RIP), Iggy was perhap...
