HIGH output MC verses High MC???
As mentioned above, despite the apparent advantage of lower output MC much will depend on you phonostage gain and noise and where is runs optimally. By the way, what phono amp are you considering?As far as high end MM cartridges go: I don't see ho... 
MEITNER audio, where to get parts and updates
And here is the website:Museatex and John Wright informationJohn is a very nice guy to deal with. I heard many good things about his modification of the Meitner/Museatex gear. He even still has some of the original parts in stock. 
Anything better than Magnepan 1.6?
If you keep your Maggies and want to just try soemthing different for fun, try a single driver speaker with SET amp. It might give you a taste of what is missing with the Maggies if at all. SInce you are used to 6ft tall speaker, take a look at a ... 
Drop in replacement for Rega RB300?
I hope to get confirmation because on a couple of suggestions it appears it is a "maybe".The Rega derivatives will of course work. Schroeder is o.k. as well. The Robin has been designed as Rega drop-in, but is now discontinued. For the other ones ... 
Drop in replacement for Rega RB300?

Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp?
I would second the Cain Abbys: Small footprint and they can be placed relatively close to the back - much much better than the Omega Super 3 I tried. Also, I did use them in a small room simialr to the size of yours with great success.Also, if sin... 
EMT 950 BBC vs newer designs like VPI ,LP12 etc
Also, on a side note - my earlier post was not to devaluate older tables. I would seriously consider the EMT 950 BBC against the LP12 or any VPI table.

DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
Yes :-)1:36 is a lot of gain - 30dB. 
DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
The EVO III is putting out about a quarter of the voltage compared to the Denons after the Bellari - about 0.1 V. Comparing this to the standard 2V CD players put out that should not be enough to drive any amp directly. With the low 30dB gain of t... 
DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
Here is a breakdown of voltages into the Belari:Denon DL103R using 1:36 tap on the Cinemag:The cartridge sees a 40 Ohm load. Voltage is 0.25mV after the step-up this is close to 10mV, which may almost overdrive the Bellari (effective gain is about... 
DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
It seems to me like you might need an active preamp in your system, since the Bellari is not driving your amp sufficiently. I don't think you can fix this completely with a step-up although a higher step-up gain will help. What amp are you using?T...
