Why CD players will never be dead
So if I download Amarra I HAVE to download every disk over again or can Amarra find the files. Currently use itunes.Thanks. 
Speaker cable vibration?
I have padded nuts bigger bolts, felt, squirrel tail, anything you need to make your system sound better. Just let me know your budget. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Just start posting negative opinions about Wilson's and the tread will be gone tonight. 
Anyone used VS-110 with KT120 for extended period?
Just be careful if you ever blow a resistor because ARC will also charge you for a new set of tubes. This has been my experience two times. A fifty cent part can easily turn into a few hundred.I won't buy ARC again. 
Adding a sub - what will I loose?
If you have a low efficiency speaker and listen at low volume you might lose some of the bottom end. You can always adjust the volume on the sub to compensate. I say go for it. IMO it's tough to find a speaker with a really good midrange and 20hz ... 
Recordings with BASS
High Kings. The have a Timpanist that plays on several tracks. Have to like the genre though. Also maybe Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. That should rattle the your eardrums. 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
Tough range. You can get into some really nice midrange drivers at this PP. Find a small two or three way that you love and add a really nice sub.  
Are CD players dead
3o years from now yes. Dead. Behind the times already. TT still ahead. 
Which components are "stupid good"?
A great front speaker and a great sub will have you playing your whole music collection. Sounds stupid but worth looking at. 
VAC / Wilson cables
Quick right hook has him wondering if he should be in the ring... 
Big upgrade
Turkeys sleep in trees and can fly. I've actually seen them take off like helicopters if caught in a limited area where they couldn't run.I have a large cabinet in between my speakers and sometimes feel less waddle in my neck. 
Best small speakers?
Verity Finn? Also love the Reynaud Emeraude. It depends on what you are looking for. Finn has more detail than most of the above. 
Help Me Build a Second System For Less than $10000
You should mention a primary system. Would help to fill in what you are looking to get out of the bedroom system.Shindo? 
Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
The Zu Essence with Candy Gloss went for $3300. What an awesome deal for the buyer. 
"Best" speakers new/used under $3,000?
Again you might want to compare the mid and treble of the old Matrix 802 to the newer models. It depends on what you are looking for in a speaker.Best.
