Alex,
I sold all of my Alpha Core Goertz cables and replaced everything with Roger's cables and I am most pleased. I have decided to not go off the deep end with IC's and cables and ANYONE that has heard my system will tell you that it is warm and detailed - what an oxymoron! And you are right about Roger, what a rare gem - he is all about giving back to the world and we get the benefit of his designs and great prices. I have a feeling that I will be getting more and more into his electronics as I move forward.
Ozyfly, the amp stand - well, I just like IT! the Lovan stuff is well made and seems to really take any vibrations into the floor and it looks really nice and again, is reasonably priced. The dealer that I have used for 2 purchases is http://www.soundscapeav.com/
Twl and Albert - I still have two wooden crates of all my albumns from the 70's. One of these days I would LOVE to get back into it. I am just being very cautious right now, I work in high tech in silicon valley and right now is not the time to be "living large". I am hunkered down. But just you wait! and ALBERT, now now.... I am SO sure that you would just STORE that gorgeous tube tuner of mine - it's a beaut, ain't it?!?!

Tim, I'll try to get some pics this weekend and update... but as you and I are in our own "private" competition in another area, I may opt to use my time elsewhere. wink wink nudge nudge :) you'll probably beat me - AGAIN!
and chac, you make me blush! every girl wants to hear that she has a nice rack!
