PS Audio Power Plant Premier THD Output Results
Sure. I will take it. 
Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound
My short list for speakers of this size at this price would be: KEF LS50, Fritz Speakers, Vapor Breeze, Nola BOxers, Sjofn Clue. 
So what's a good preamp?
I'd look at the Modwright 9.0 at that price point. They don't come up very often and might be more than $1500, but I also love my Musical Fidelity kW preamp. A beast. Huge power supply. Will drive anything. A hybrid design. An older Pass preamp ma... 
What to upgrade if at all
Mosin, IIRC, that Allnic phono stage has the Allnic SUTs internally already. Just read a great review of it at Dagogo. 
which floor speaker up to 1500.00
I don't think Vapor1 is saying anything controversial here. Monitors' strengths are generally their imaging, and a stiff cabinet lacking in resonances is more easily found at this price point for a new speaker in monitors, not floorstanders.IME, m... 
Rogue Owners Unite
Wow, KT 120s for Zu. Thats a lot of power. Any issues with tube related noise out of those super efficient speakers? 
What to upgrade if at all
I agree that it seems the cart seems to after the most room for improvement. You would have a lot of good options in your budget. There are great Dynavectors for that money. ZYX too (and you may be able to get a trade-in cart from upgraders inspec... 
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
Glad you are enjoying the new table. Yes, at most levels it is a matter of taste. Which makes it important to try out as many flavors as possible to determine what works best for you. I have heard a number of highly regarded tables. I preferred th... 
HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE
Think our suggestions are showing signs of price creep. The Traveler and the Basis are different beasts, as they should be for the increase in price over a P3 or MH 5.1. 
Sundazed Records
Sundazed is pressing at least some of their stuff at QRP now, such as their mono Dylan titles. Reports are that their QRP pressed vinyl is better than their earlier pressings done elsewhere. I have not had great experience with 4 Mens With Beards.... 
Does anyone know the status of Quad in the US?
Not sure where you are located, but there is a great Quad dealer here in Chicago: Pro Musica. Shop is full of British gear: Rega, Naim, Quads. 
Phono interconnect under $500 used
+1 on the Cable Company. Their lending library is excellent. Also +1 to Al's question re: the cart involved. Audience has cables targeted at carts with different characteristics. I have their phono cable for LOMC, low impedance carts. And it is gr... 
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
Enjoy that Nott table. That is a table I'd like to hear. 
Well Tempered Amadeus owners
Never heard of any major problems with them. Some folks seem to have issues with belts (made of a fliliment similar to fishing line, with free replacements for life) breaking. But I wouldn't worry to much about them being built in China, since Mik... 
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
Alonski, Nice to read your impressions. Thanks for taking the time to pass those along. Yes, I'd also guess that if someone doesn't like the Rock, it would sell pretty quickly and easily. I bought the only Rock 7 I had ever seen for sale used (fro...
