Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Ebm, contrary to your assertions it doesn't exist on the website. It must have been a bad Dream.

Silver ribbons, say no more.Auditioning the Teo Audio Reference cables is known to cause severe disenchantment.

Ebm: there is no such model. Maybe you're thinking of cars such as a Dodge Viper.I just received Teo Audio's new Reference interconnects and speaker cables on loan. 
Analog Gurus in Washington DC
Wish I'd known...going to be visiting Lewm's neighbor up the street in a couple weeks to align his 'table...probably not enough time to do others, alas... 
Dynavox DynaStation CD player
The Dynastation was a well designed and built superb sounding player. I think its lack of remote control and lack of display hurt its chances of success in the marketplace. 
Shindo Monbrison balance issue?
I agree with Chashas1: ask your dealer, and if necessary pursue it with the distributor. It sounds most likely to be a volume pot issue, i.e. channel tracking issue. There shouldn't be more than a few tenths of a dB difference throughout the volum...

Norm (Tbg), I do not have resistance measurements, but we're talking about a liquid metal, not liquid ceramic (Cerious) or carbon (vdH), and I have not seen or heard anything to indicate the resistance is significantly different from, say, interco...

Klinerm, thank you for the unsolicited kind words. I know you are careful about changes in your system, yet your leap of faith based on the shorter interconnects' performance has been rewarded, also confirmed by your friends. Many happy hours of l... 
I want to know if the kuzma stabi s with stogi s
To the best of my knowledge the Kuzma Stabi S can be fitted with any Kuzma tonearm, including the Air Line and 4Point. I have heard of one person with the Stabi SD (two arm version) with two Air Line arms.Kuzma dealer disclaimer. 
Atma Sphere deserves praise
Samujohn: If it were only that simple. In that case no one would own speakers weighing more than, say, 80 lbs. 
Footers?
Yes, some time ago I took some large, very hard heavy cones to a client's home along with a matching special wood shelf which contains some loose fill inside. We put these items under his CDSD transport. The improvements were immediate and mind-bl... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
I'll say it again. Listen for yourself to the candidates, preferably in your own system, being sure to match levels (measure voltage at the speaker terminals). You might be surprised. :)

Rtn1: I fully agree. Fred Crowder is a friend whose judgment I value, although we sometimes see things a bit differently. That's why personal auditions are so important. 
quad 57 vs vandersteen for low volume listening
Thanks, Tompoodie. Your room lends itself well to Quad 57s, as you noted. Price difference notwithstanding, it took me a long time to come around to owning Quad 57s years ago, ultimately moving on to other speakers with the same midrange magic, co... 
quad 57 vs vandersteen for low volume listening
Quad 57s excel at low volume and have few peers in this area, in my opinion. That said, they have limitations many cannot live with in the long term. The Quad 988s are quite different from the 57s, with many differing opinions on them. For integra...
