Sibilance issues with vinyl rig
You are in danger. Best to give up all vinyl, it will forever not measure up to digital. Just enjoy the music and give the gear a rest. 
Amps that are "forward"
Time to visit an audiologist and have your ears checked out. Most audiophiles, for all their interest in sound, never go to an audiologist to find out exactly what they are hearing. Most who do go to an audiologist don't find one that can test bey... 
Review: Tonian TL-D1 MK II Speaker
Fred, I can't believe I see a glass top desk/table in your room. What were you thinking? I suggest you quickly remove the desk, or put a blanket over it. It will vastly improve the sound you are getting. In all, a very well written review. I'll be... 
Is centerclamp like TT Weights as good as TT maker
I have the SOTA reflex clamp which I use on my un threaded tables, it works well. As we all know, all the weights/clamps have a tendency to 'bow' the record, this is especially true of the weight type. 
LP records: Time to... oi... buy another crate...?
I am always finding new people to give any extra copies of items I 'rescue'. First I gave them to my five children, along with a spinner. Then the eight grandchildren grew up and are now getting rescued copies, and of course a spinner to play them... 
Help fellow AV designers
projector and an audio transparent screen is the way to go. Hey, that's the way it is done in the movie house. The benefit is that you can put in an actual sub, match all the speakers and actually create the hidden center channel. Don't forget tha... 
So what is the best speaker you have ever owned?
K-Horns, Paul was best speaker designer in the world. 
Best Audio Store Name?
Lyric in NYC. A place that will quickly put you in your audio place, and never will you want to go to another audio store in your entire lifetime. Lyric people have been reserved a special place in audio hell where they will hear the subway that r... 
Albums on Bluray ???
Check out the Katherine Jenkins 'Believe, Live from the O2' Blu-Ray. It outputs three different audio formats. The dts audio is really outstanding. The visuals are stunning. Hope the tour comes to the US this year. 
Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications?
Turnaround time has always been a problem with SoundSmith. Best not to do business with them until they sort out their operational problems, which have been a problem for the last three years. 
Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters
This fellow goes to all 'Blue Man' shows, I can always spot him since he wears blue face paint, with meter highlights. 
Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3
Cayin 100, wonderful sound, fully featured and a great value. 
Maple platform under turntable, How thick?
Best you not entertain the half measures being suggested. The serious audiophile would go directly to an electron microscope table. These can be had for about $100,000. They will tell all that you are serious. Many years ago I visited someone who ... 
dedicated power line
One of the best ways to improve all your gear. 
How important is the tonearm?
Very. SME, in my opinion makes the best arms, but pricey. However setup support is excellent. Overall I am a fan of VPI, in terms of sound delivered, value and support it is hard to beat. The dealers are very knowledgeable and Harry goes the extra...
