Adding Tone Controls?
Check out the DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0. A fabulously flexible unit that gives you DSP for under 500Hz, and a full EQ for the entire audio listening band. Balance controls too. 
Choosing between Reissue and Original pressings
Pressings are really a case by case thing in my experience. As such, SH Forum is a great resource to find out about particular pressings. My go-to site for vinyl related questions. That said, there are some details that can help you make educated ... 
10" sub.... 500 price barrier....
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the power of the sub. The sub will be designed with an amp that will be fine with it, at least up to crazy levels. And if you are mainly listening for music, you will be fine. Instead, for music find a sub that... 
Purepower APS a reliable product?
Well, Brf I'd agree, IF it wasn't for other similar threads, and that still doesn't account for the delays and particularly the lack of communication on PurePower's part. 
Purepower APS a reliable product?
That's good to know Foster_9. You appear to be one of the lucky ones. This is the third thread I have seen on Audiogon about PurePower's reliability and/or customer service. Buyer beware.

This is not the first post of this sort about Purepower Canada's reliability or support. A shame. 
Rogue Cronus Magnum new with KT120's
I believe that the KT120s do not give any additional power to most Rogue designs. But I did prefer them to my EH KT88s in my Stereo 90. 
An impression of some phono stages
I preferred the Avid Pulsus to the SimAudio 5.3 with optional external power supply that I had. 
High quality AC turntable motor
Although the SDS in some instances needs a capacitor added for some turntable motors 
High quality AC turntable motor
Yes, I think you want to stay away from a high torque motor. 
60 Cycle Hum
If it is a toroid hum from DC on the line then a Humbuster from PS Audio is a good way to go. But the first step I would take is to open the amp up and tighten the bolts on the power supply's toroid if they seem loose. But Humbuster and this fix w... 
VPI Classic 3
I have had far more problems with UPS damage than FedEx. Best of luck getting this resolved. Hang in there, with either company it can be hairy getting claims resolved. 
bi-wire vs jumpers
I have also heard that this depends on the speakers. Some may have been designed to be biwired, others less so (even though the option is available on the back of the speakers). 
Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000
Tranquility is a good choice for sure if you are going USB only. If you need multiple inputs, chuck out the Schiit Gungnir.To get some great DSP capabilities, check out the DSPeaker Dual Core. An amazing sounding and amazingly versitile component. 
Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP???
Amps might help. Some amps are certainly more forward than others. Or an EQ of some type. People (including myself) are raving about the DSPeaker Dual Core. It has digital DSP for bass but also a very customizable EQ, along with 4 settings that ca...
