hi bug.

Hi,
I am currently looking for a stereo/hi fi system
(what every you call it) consisting ultimately of
a tuner, preamp, amp, turn table, cassette
player, hi-fi video VCR, maybe a CD player,
and of course speakers. This system, moreover, will
be purchased over the next several years due to 
financial reasons. I have been reading net.audio
for some months now and have enjoyed reading the
interactions on the net. I would interested
in comments on topics such as the 
advantages/disadvantages of: 

1) turner, pre-amp, and amp configuration verse a receiver?
2) purchasing a stereo system by mail order verses 'hi end'
   stereo store - possible service considerations?
3) sonic holography?
4) electronic sonic holography (as with caver pre-amps) verses
   mechanical sonic holography/imaging (as with the Polk SDA-1A
   and SDA-2)?
5) moving magnet verses moving coil?
6) linear tracking verses pivot tone arms?
7) Carver C-4000 pre-amp -why don't stores demo this unit?
8) 'linear phase' audio components (not the brand name)?

Hopefully these topics are not to old hat for long time net readers.
I am interested in the various audio
topics in general and user experiences with the components using these
techniques.
