Miller & Kreisel MX-5000 MKII....OK?
I use a MK MX150 THX to complement my Maggies and it does a wonderful job of giving me the bottom octave. Something the Maggies lack below 40 hz. I have no complaints, except that it is big and heavy!But as always, let your ears deside.BTW, I have... 
Is the Cassette Recorder Dead?
Dolby came out late? Dolby was used in the mid 70's, certainly not too late. The problem was with misaligned heads, causing people to not use or misuse Dolby.

Inexpensive Pre with headphone jack recommendation

Help on LP to CD Transfer Firms

CD burners: Marantz vs. HHB
Another good cheap option is Canare LV66's and solder your own RCA's. You can choose Neutrik, spring loaded, $12 a pair or Canare's own "true 75 ohm" RCA.
