Pangea Power Cables comments
I'm surprised Elizbeth is not responding to this post. She is an avid Pangea fan. 
Windfield Cartridge
I have the Windfield and the A-90. Set up correctly, they are excellent. I use them on my Avid Volvere TT with origin Illustrious tonearm and it is a spectacular paring. I know for a fact that I have much more than 1200 hours on both carts and hav... 
Phono Preamp recommendation for VPI Prime
I have the VTPH-2. I can't say enough good things about it. Dead quiet, very resolving and my Avid Volvere TT with an Ortofon A-90 is just a spectacular pairing. 
Which of these 4 Phono Pre you'dl choose?
Herron VTPH2 will better most of these

Looking for Help - LS27 or SLP-05
I have some NOS Pope Holland 6SN7's that I used in my SLP05 before I sold it. They made quite a difference. They are not presently for sale but I could be persueded 
Best bang for the buck upgrade path for Mac Mini
I went the exactly same route you are going with the Mini. I had a Mac2music modified mini and external PS, but glitch after glitch and this software accepting that software was always a pain. Daily there were things dropped out or had to be reins... 
Best music server for the money
Maxboy00,Yes, I do own the Music Vault Diamond. It has been an excellent server. I previously owned a Mach2Music modified MacMini and the Music Vault widely trumps it in ease of use, sound quality and customer service. Neal is a pleasure to deal w... 
Best music server for the money
Sound Science Music Vault Diamond is much better than any of the above named servers. with raid 2 mirror image back up and ease of use with an ipad, it's unmatched 
Why do ITunes and Pure Music not see each other?
One of the many issues that I had with the mini and why I switched back to a windows based server. A whole bunch more user friendly and actually just as good or better sound. Check out Music Vault Diamond.
