How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how.
  @phd  Do you absolutely need gain in your system? Many people think they do, but that's not the case.       Perhaps you didn't see this question?  
What's my best upgrade options
Your table/cartridge are certainly the bottleneck in an otherwise stellar system. That's where you should start.

If you like it, that's all that matters. But compare two passive preamps, one using an ALPS pot and the other using this high quality khozmo ladder type volume control. There will be a distinct difference.   Khozmo 64 step ladder attenuator

The problem is you now have a cheap alps pot and a second set of interconnects in the circuit. You are definitely changing the sound, but if you are ok with that, fine. It’s not a novel idea, it’s been done many times. But remember, the volume con... 
Amplifier recommendation
The  Coda 11 is indeed a discontinued model. I had one back in the late 90s, so you can see how old it is. It’s a great sounding amp, but I’d steer clear of one unless you want to do at least a recap on it.  
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
I reached out to a dealer and was told the SL1300 won’t be shipping until December.

Ok, lots of good information in this thread. So what is the preference? The 1300G or one of the latest 1200 variants?

@tablejockey  That is the sticking point for me and I know it shouldn’t matter. But they look so pedestrian.  
Can anyone identify this equipment?
Robert Plant has a Replacements album?    It would appear so. Or at least, he had one…

I don’t really know how else I could have asked the question. I’ve never heard a technics table, but have heard all the hype for many years. It’s something I would explore if it makes sense from a sonic perspective.

@ml8764ag  WTF are you talking about “taking exception”? All I did was ask the question. And when I received an ambiguous reply, asked for clarity. I’m not a VPI (or any other brand) fan boi. It was a serious question from someone who isn’t ridin...

So the Technics is in a league above the Aries?  
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
So the 1200G is the more expensive table, so it’s the better of the two? I am a Technics neophyte, so maybe someone could tell me how either one might compare to a VPI Aries II?  
Amp for Persona B Speakers
I second @soix on the SMc upgraded amps. I recently received my DNA 0.5, which was already a GT20 version, from SMc with a whole new round of mods which take it to GT 24 Ultra. Absolutely stunning. I had some cosmetic mods done to make it look the...
