Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction?
I am by no means a technical expert and have enjoyed both NFB amps and ZNFB designs, but I did want to note the perhaps it is a good idea to bring the human brain into this conversation (I am a neuroscientist, so I can't resist). Namely, it is fin... 
AXPONA anyone?
AXPONA is dangerous enough for my wallet without adding a casino into the mix... 
AXPONA anyone?
I think I might swing by for 1/2 hr or so... 
System upgrade, need advice, source or speakers?
I too would say speakers. There are a number of impressions here about the MkII to the MkIII upgrade on those Zus. They might help that decision. And I would also look at what other speakers are around at the price point you are thinking about. I'... 
Aragon 4004 channel dead,
Aragon is back in business. Why not contact them? 
James Blake tracking problem.
I also had a ZYX that had trouble tracking on some James Blake tracks. Since then I have realigned the cart and once everything was dialed in better, I am no longer having trouble tracking on these bass heavy tracks. 
Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote

Interconnects between table and phono stage

Who makes the highest quality tube gear?
Worth noting that some manufacturers make tube gear at a really wide range of price points. Rogue comes to mind as a good example. In these cases, it doesn't make sense to talk about a brand across the board, since sacrifices have to be made to re... 
Do I have enough power?
I think you will just need to try yourself. I found that I preferred my Butler 2250 (hybrid 250W amp) into my power hungry SP Tech Minis, but the Rogue Stereo 90 into my Von Schweikert VR-4s. Once you get past basic amp-speaker matching considerat... 
Can a $3K table be among the best out there?
And should we suppose from your last comment on the Townshend that this is a table your friend is also a fan of? 
Turntable setup under $2000?
How confident are you that the TecnoDec was properly set up? Not familiar with that table or cart, but it could potentially be table, cart, tonearm or just improper set-up that is impacting the bass. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
And as these stories about PP continue to accumulate, the potential sales and resale price of these units will just go down, down, down.

I am also curious to hear people's thoughts on potential power supply upgrades.
