Easy and simple, with great sound.....HELP
I had a Rega P5/Exact combo and was happy until I upgraded to the P7 and Dynavector DV20XH - I am very happy now. For your budget a P5 with a DV20XH (will require 2 2mm shims under the arm base). There is just something about the Rega sound I keep... 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
Guido, The amp the dealer was using was a 200w/ch B&K amp & pre. 
connecting a sub to Rotel Rx1050
I would just use the pre outs to the sub and leave it at that. Use the subs internal Xover to set filtering. No nee to run cables form sub out back to the receiver. 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
When building my secondary system I was looking cloely at VA Baby Grands. The best price I could find new was $3250. I absolutely loved the sound of these speakers. I did not care for the Mozart Grand - flabby bass. I ened up goig with a pair of D... 
Rega P5 W/RB700 Cartridge Match / Mate ?
I would not recommend the rewire. Have you used sims on your RB700 arm for the Dynavector cartridge? I use the DV20XH on my Rega P7. Prior to this table I used a Exact on my P5/TTPSU combo - nice pairing. For the price the Dynavector is a tough ca... 
Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers
The B&W ASW610 (retails for $1000) gets high marks from Stereophile. Used, you may alos look at Velodynes SPL series. 
Totem vs. Vr-1 vs. Dynaudio Audience

scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5
Scrub the fluid then let set OR let fluid set then scrub? 
Rotel RC-1090 vs RC-1082
RC-1082 new = $1200. RC-1090 only available used now = $700. I have a RC-1090 (upgraded from the RC-1070). I, too, dislike tone controls - they tend to add 'noise' to the system. BTW, the 1090 is not a truly fully balanced pre. 
Rotel RB-1091 Mono's vs Parasound JC1 Mono's B&W
Mustang,I do not hear a squeal from my RB-1092 and I purposely put my ear next to it after I read this topic. Have you had your monos in for repair for this?When you get ready to upgrade contact me about your RB-1091 monos. 
Polk Audio Speaker Search
Used RT20p can be bought for $400 - originally $2000. Basically a 3-wya with a built-in powered sub (2 - 8" with 500 watt amp). 
player for B&W 803s
I agree with Bar81. The RCD-1072 is a very fine player under 1K. I have the changer version - RCC-1055 - and have been very happy with it. 
Music Hall Turntable - Tuned Correctly?
Yes, feedback it is. Also, is your table on top/near a power amp - power supply interference. 
Robert & Alison-Raising Sand
I agree with Osgorth's sentiments. I was excited to finally get this LP but once I listened to it 5 times I am still wondering what all the hype was. It is so boring. 
Music Hall 7 owners
I do not own a MMF-7 but do own a Rega P7 and I can certainly recommend the Dynavector DV20XH. Very musical cartridge.
