VPI MOTOR PULLEY ??
Bob's Devices not a problem for me. Recently bought a new pulley and belts through him. Soundstage Direct is also terrific on VPI as is Music Direct. 
Integrated amp recommendation around 3k (I need more power!)
CJ CA200 can be found on Audiogon occasionally. I Bought one about a year ago. It's amazing. Tube sound. 185 watts/ channel. Best amp buy I ever made. Believe it would be great with the Harbeths. 
Have the Golden Ear Tech 7's but considering a speaker a fuller sound and also musical
The Audio Connection in Verona, NJ is the one. Nothing but the best to say about them. 
Good HiFi stores in NY, Washington DC area
+1 Audio Connection, Verona, NJ. John is the best!!!

You might try Signal Cable. Frank makes all cables to order. They are low impedance and well shielded. He will terminate them any way you want. Plus his prices are very reasonable.www/signalcable.com 
Looking at some Devore "The Nines", Current amp is CJ CA200.
Thank you both. I appreciate the input. 
The new Rega Planar 3
I have a RP6. Made several mods using Groovetracer. Dropped counterweight and subplatter. Subplatter made an immediate and amazing difference. Hugely improved bass and general musicality. If the subplatter on the Planar 3 is still some type of pla... 
What cartridge on your VPI prime?
Just recently added an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze to my Prime. First cart was a Soundsmith VPI Zephyr that I moved over from my Scout. Zephyr was great, Cadenza Bronze is greater. 
Falcon PSU & Tach
The Falcon is for motors up to 5 watts. The Eagle is for motors over 5 watts. They were in business a few months ago. 
turntables
I have both in different systems. I've juggled them between the two and actually love them both. I've added a GrooveTracer sub Platter to the RP-6. Turned it into a much better table. Made the biggest, most obvious and immeadiate improvement of an...
