finding a solid state amp to replace a tube amp
What are the good features of the mv 125 that you want to capture? Not sure what you mean by "treble response". 
My $99.00 System
Shubertmaniac I love it. Please Please post your system on the Virtual Systems. Make yourself proud and make the rest of us feel like crap. 
Guru QM-10... Anybody Heard Them? More Than Lows?
You might check out the Sonist Concerto 2. Very lively, transparent and disappear. 
Under $10k budget Preamp suggestion, please.
You probably should have gone with those Verity Audio speakers with the rear woofers. That would have hyped up the bass quit a bit. 
Benz Glider vs Dynavector DV-17D3 phono cartridge
My opinion. If you were going to keep the Rega then go with the Benz. If you are planning on upgrading the Rega in the near future then go with the Dynavector. Just my opinion and you have narrowed it down to two good choices.Jim

Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
My experience has been the bigger the tube the bigger the sound...... 
Most fancy tonearms
SolongThanks for sharing that. Very cool, very innovative, very Russian..... 
Recommend 300b tubes for Frankenstein Amps
Are you sure the tubes are at fault? You would not want to replace them with expensive tubes only to have that happen again. 
Any suggestions for good obscure music?
I think you would really enjoy Rene Marie. She has a website were you can download some samples. Her older music is good also and cheap on Amazon. 
When did you ever hear a system sound so life-like
For me it was the Merlin Joule Electra room at the RMAF. 
subwoofer question
In the price range that you are looking at, I would go with a small driver sub that doesn't necessarily go really low. I think you will end up rolling it off at 30 hz anyway to take the room out of the equation. I would much much rather have a to ...
