There are inexpencive professional grade (RCA or XLR) cables that you can successfully use on any audiofile system and with huge lengths. Try to get Canare japanese pro interconnects that are being widely used during recording in the studios. They... 
I turn the big Half-Century today
I'll turn 50 20 years from now. I think that I would be listening same progressive and avant-flavoured music as I listen now. Maybe it will evolve somehow from now and I'm damn sure I'll be posted! 
phono preamp
...that's the one you need! It's minimalistically designed with plenty of gain and you'll need no preamp. Depending on the turntable you will use you should mate the cartridge between EAR and TT. 
How much should I spend on cd transport
I meant not only transport as a "former heavy-weight" machines. I meant both. At the same time I've never experienced any sonical or musical improvement of a new digital playback in comparison to high quality "former heavy-weight champs". I believ...

Stereo, hi fidility, ultra hifidelity ?
"Stereo" and "High Fidelity" or "Ultra-High" fidelity are totally different issues. A high fidelity record may be mono as well. Can you imagine that imaging and the stage can be accomplished through the mono with the great success!I do collect mon...

Can you get great analog sound from analog tape?
There is an excellent RtoR machine that you can get used which is OTARI MX5050 B2. This machine is being or used to be used as a broadcast reproducer. To tell you for sure that Carnegie Hall in NY is still using it for live recordings. Among Reel ... 
consensus on passive preamps?
Well said, Ultrakaz. In my current situation all I upgrade is only and only source since I've set up the correct amp/speakers for the listening room. Any attempt to bring in active preamp wasn't successful at all. The bass was tighter but the deap...
