Top rated passive preamps
Tvad.....couldnt agree more! The SMc VRE pre has only 6dB of gain and Ive had my fair share of passives over the last 6 years and the VRE is the cleanest sounding pre (and most musical) that I've heard.This includes the $95,000 Kondo M1000 !!!!!(D... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
From my many, many years of experience it really is all about the execution. From my 1st AR table to my current direct drive they all had something I liked. The belt driven Simon Yorke had incredible PACE (and looks IMHO) but lacked ultimate bass ... 
SMC VRE-1b vs. VRE-1c
Phillipwu ~ The VRE had a more open and extended top end and had MUCH better bass control, the Kondo puts an emphisis on the upper bass region. While the Kondo was extremely transparent the VRE did fall just slightly behind the VRE but just slight...

SMC VRE-1b vs. VRE-1c
Philipwu it originally was sold direct at 7.5k then the Lotus Group took over distributorship and the 1b sold for $15,750. Even at that price it beat out my KONDO M1000 that retailed at $95,000 which I gladly sold (as did another guy who also sold... 
One sub or two or none?
Handymann I used to use 2 REL Stentors (but had reliability issues with them) so I went to one JL Fathom 113 as you did and tried it in the right corner then the left corner and finally the center of my room and viola the center worked the best an... 
New Elp Turntable
I had listened to their ealier ones and thought it sounded like bad digital, they would have to have improved by 1000 fold to make me even want to try/listen again.

No love for the REL S series anymore?
I've owned several S series REL's and had issues as several others have as well so maybe it is their reputation finally catching up!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Zephyr, I do like it VERY much and have compared it to Sound Application Linestage. The PP 2000+ was cleaner and more musical. Have not compared it directly with their older version but have had an older version in my system which is why I bought ...
