Power cables for vintage MC75 mono amps
Cut the cord and leave a few inches to add an IEC outlet. Then you can experiment with different PCs. Will the SQ improve? I'm a skeptic, so I will say no! YMMV! 
buyer question
Bad Karma will result! Don't do.it! 
Best step-up between a Kondo M7 and a Lyra Skala
Don't forget the SUTs made by Fidelity Research! 
Best step-up between a Kondo M7 and a Lyra Skala
I presently have: a Bellari, a Denon. a Mike Sanders Quicksilver and two custom-made SUTs using Altec mike transformers. Oh, and a pair of the small Sony plug-in SUTs! Iron rules in my LP playback kingdom!

So I can recommend either the Verion or Cotter SUTs. Plus they look really cool in those heavy blue enclosures with the attached Verion Triaxial cables!

Later after Verion failed, Mitchell Cotter marketed those SUTs under his own name. Along with a unique phono stage called the PSC (Phono Signal Conditioner).

How about the Verion P transformer? I had one for years and then stupidly sold it when I needed some fast cash! I used it with a GAS Sleeping Beauty Super Elliptical. Excellent match into a Precision Fidelity C7 cascode-tube phono stage!

Mitsubishi da-a15dc
I have a DA - A15 along with the matching preamp and a DA - F10 tuner. Excellent quality examples of late 70's Japanese audio gear! And competitive with today's four-figure gear! In Japan these carried the Diatone name.  
Help !
You can buy CD alblums that can hold a hundred or more in plastic pockets. And just flip through the pages to find ones you want to listen to. My friend who owned a high-end audio store did this to save space! 
Re-tip or Replace?
Yes, if you can get a nude diamond with a ruby cantilever! The price is reasonable. 
Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i)
Bryston 4B for $800 + $70 shipping from Reno, NV. Seller is "swilbert101" on EBay. 400wpc at 4 ohms. Still an outstanding amp! 
Re-tip or Replace?
Buy a new cartridge. Replacing the diamond with a new one and a blob of glue will compromise performance!  
SACD or not SACD?
+1 elizabeth! You nailed it!
