Lamm LL2 Deluxe....
Yes, if it is in excellent condition. 
Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2?
There was a used LL2.1 deluxe offered just about 3 weeks ago for I believe 3,600.00, it actually was listed twice, which surprised me because they don't come up often, it was a dealer add where the owner moved up the Lamm line.

Argon66 are you looking to buy new, if so contact Lamm and they will recommend a couple of their dealers, I did and got 1,200.00 off retail and it shipped direct from Lamm to me. 
Anyone else try this?
We are very lucky to live in the times that we do. Good luck to you and hope your prognosis is a good one. Happy listening.

I believe that your upgrade with the Lamm will probably surprise the hell out of you and you won't look back, plus the  lamm is tube rectified which I seem to be drawn to, by the way I love mine.

Looking for a new cartridge- Dynavector Karat 17D3 or Sumiko Blackbird
I have to say that I agree with sfall, the Shelter 501 is my all time favorite cartridge unless you are willing to spend the big bucks for a XYZ Universe or Dynavector DRT XV1s. I also have a Prime and had the Shelter 501, Dynavector 17D, a Lyra D... 
B&W Speaker Score!
Sweet deal on the 802Ns, my favorite B&W speakers,  they should really be quite an upgrade. Enjoy your new purchase and the Sound Anchors stands really do move the performance of these speakers up a notch, just sayin. 
Table upgrade: SOTA Comet? or ?
Not knowing anything about the rest of your system and knowing that this is a process I would strap that Blue Point to the best table arm combo I could afford, with that said I would look in the used market for a VPI Classic or better still a Scou...

Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile

Do blown preamp tubes cause other issues?
