I think the power wedge is fantastic does a great job, especially with digital. 
Cardas Clear Light vs Clear Sky
i thnk one of the best buys in Cardas is the older Golden Prescence.  They sound just like Golden Reference.  very close 
Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ?
I agree with the above poster that changed from Purist to Cardas.  Cardas are very neutral and natural sounding, at least in my system

He is one of the very best 
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
the thing with vintage tt, although they may be very good, unless I could get a smoking deal on one and knew the owner, I would probably look at newer models.  If I already had a great vintage table, thats another thing.
