Should I try a MC cartridge and phono pre?
Why not try it, and then if you don't like it, try another TT. 
Turntable To PC Audio Connection To Make CD's
Does it have enough volume when played through the receiver? 38db is not a lot of gain but you also get more gain from the receiver's preamp when the turntable is used with it. You won't get the advantage of the 7200's gain when using the tape out... 
B & K reference 50
Believe me, I had no intention of slighting B&K in any way. I think it is a fine product. I was just answering a question as honestly as possible. It just so happened that it was a thread that started with B&K. My statement applies to all ...

Try to get a pro model if possible that way you can use CDRs and not have the digital to digital copying problems that occur with consumer models. Sony makes a good one that has SBM capabilities. Check out Oade Brothers at oade.com. 
Any way a preamp can drive small speakers?
Some of the older MacIntosh preamps have jacks and low powered amps in them that will drive a pair speakers.

For the best sound, you should hook the turntable directly to the computer if it has a built in phono stage. If you do not have enough gain you can check to see how much output your cartridge has and if it is low, change to a higher output model. ... 
Good, Inexpensive Sources for CD's
Of course I forgot to mention Columbia House. They don't have a great selection but they are better than they used to be. They even have the Bob Dylan SACD discs. And once you meet your obligation, you don't have to send in those pesky monthly sel... 
Amp "pop" - need help
My Krell amp does the same. It is the heat sinks expanding. Once it heats up it stops but after turning it off, it does it as it cools down. Krell adds some sort of damping to their newer amps. It won't hurt anything if it doesn't bother you. 
B & K reference 50
It has been my experience that the people that own equipment like it or don't admit it if they don't. And, if they don't like it they usually want to sell it. And therefore don't want to tell anyone that may be a potential buyer that something the... 
Good, Inexpensive Sources for CD's
www.deepdiscountcd.com is probably the cheepest and has free shipping. www.cduniverse.com has more inventory but costs a little more. www.artist-shop.com has a wide variety and lots of progressive and fusion. 
Moving to UK, what to do?
Pack.... You can get a voltage converter for most items. But, motorized equipment such as turntables with AC motors will run at the wrong speed because of the 50HZ frequency. If you can get a frequency control device such as the one VPI makes for ... 
Best progressive acts these days?
The Strawbs are still around as well as Caravan. 
Rotel RSX 1055 RR 1050 : OSD not working
Are you using the progressive scan inputs on the TV for the DVD player? if so the processor's on screen display will not work in most cases. You will have to use the input that the processor's composite outputs are connected to on the TV. 
What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow
I'm not sure about the compliance or not. It was a store demo that I got from a friend. I'll listen to the Shure again soon as I will be installing one in a customer's system. I usually have one of my own but I sold it to a customer that needed it...
