What's your favorite remake of a song
I second Blood Sweat and Tears' "God Bless the Child"Rare Earth's remakes of "Get Ready" and "(I Know) I'm Losing You" (I also really like Rod Stewart's version)Santana's "She's Not There"Grand Funk Railroad's "Feelin' Alright" 
Dahlquist DQ12
You have acquired one of the hidden gems of high end audio in my opinion. I have had a pair of Dahlquist DQ12's for several years, and I love them. I started using them with a 100 watt per channel Conrad Johnson solid state amplifier, and I was ve... 
Conrad johnson MF2300 A
The Conrad Johnson MF-2300a is a great amplifier which will drive your 803's with ease. The 2300a's hold their value very well, and your friend's asking price of $1,100 is very reasonable for the amplifier -- especially since you know the history ...

Contemporary Jazz recommendations?
I am a big fan of Down to the Bone. If you like them, then I would highly recommend Four 80 East's "The Album" (they sound very much like Down to the Bone). I would also suggest that you listen to Instinct Record's "The Best of Acid Jazz Volume 2.... 
Conrad Johnson SS amps
Unsound:I think I may be able to help you with the MF 2300. I have been using CJ's prior line of amplifiers for a long time, and I think they are an excellent combination of power and warmth. I first purchased an MF 2100 for my nominal 6 ohm speak...
