Notice That There Are Not Many Survivors of the MC from the early 19080's or so?
How about a Signet MK440ML. Some ad copy from 1986. “Signet is the audiophile division of one of the world`s largest phono cartridge manufacturers. It was decided in these waning days of the phonograph era to go for broke and design the ultimat... 
Not likeing remasters - Are origingal 90's Vinyls worth it?
What @muveling has said. As with everything it’s hit and miss. Plenty of very good sounding pressings to be found of AIC, Nirvana, PJ, Pumpkins. As to Dinosaur Jr, I have a couple of the Cherry Red reissues in both CD and vinyl and tonight I did... 
Impex Records
Have both vinyl and SACD’s from them. High quality reissues. When they put out a title I’m interested in I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase.

What’s your best/favorite version of Gloria
Nice. I've been debating whether to get that. I've got the Speakers Corner version and like most of their releases it's sounds really good but I'm a sucker for the reissues.  
New Integrated amp recommendation
+3 Anthem STR. Very good MC & MM phono stage. Decent DAC.  
Luxman, Marantz or Naim for Harbeth Compact 7
I have a Naim Super Nait 3 that sounds pretty good with Harbeth SuperHL5+. Similar listening tastes.
