Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp?
I'd stick with the PH10 and their matching PSU. It's a no brainer and for its price a bargain IMHO.  
MC cartridges
Do any of these companies keep these cartridges in-stock? I'd think they just order from the respective importer. I'd buy from who gives best discount, I've found some dealers that will offer upto a 20% off mrsp especially if bought from them in p...

Look into SoundSmith cartridges. 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@rja I would think the OP can only answer your question if listening to each unit via their dedicated internal Ethernet ports. So far the OP has compared one unit via Ethernet (M1SE) and the other unit (M3) via USB. Apples to oranges.  
More Roon Questions
Initially used a dedicated MacBook Pro that I ran Roon on then a few months back bought a Nucleus best thing I ever did.

DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend

Record Cleaning Machines
@coltrane1 agree which is why I sold my Kirmuss, took too much time to clean just 1 LP. Life is short and I'd rather listen have since bought a Keith Monks machine. Simple and easy to use. Yes an US might clean deeper but not a huge difference in SQ.

Monster M1.2s speaker cable: fair price per foot for resale?
I'd never buy a Monster product myself based on their past business practices. 
Have you heard Gold Note is increasing prices
@noromance people that are buying gear in this price range are usually not real wealthy, yes the real wealthy with lots of disposable income don't care as much as us who are "getting by" but still are looking for equipment that shoots above its pr... 
Have you heard Gold Note is increasing prices
Understand but a 25% increase! Maybe 10 maybe 12-15%. Soon dealers will be adding a fee on top of MSRP like car dealers are currently doing. For the PH10 not an issue for me b/c I already own one.  
Record Cleaning Machines
@maximumheadroom had  Kirmuss myself while I didn't have the issues you had it was a PITA to use and had too many "steps" for the process. Kept it one week and sold it quickly at a loss. Live and learn. Now use a keith monks cleaner and couldn't b... 
High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s
@audioman58 my dealer has been telling this for years! One less connection and one less ac cord. Might be just one of the reasons it can sound so great.
