Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years
My experiences have not been pleasant. Many other turn tables out there. Looking at a Brinkman or a Kuzma. Prepared to spend $15k or more and won’t spend it at VPI.   
How to go about getting a new arm board for a new tonearm
Thanks, Nandric.  I figure the armboard just reduces ridigity as the subsequent models got rid of the armboard.  I look forward to the day that I replace my VP table. It sounds decent but just no light at the end of the customer service tunnel wit... 
Setup question
Lots of quality equipment will get you there. I just wanted you to know you should not settle for anything that is not crystal clear, and think thats the way it is. I have a nice NAD T878 and B&W HTM 1 Center Channel and the 805s.    
Is DEQX a game changer?
Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  Linear bass is clean bass.  Its bass that doesn't smudge the sounds next to them.  A 24 hz signal played loud can't have any effect on the rest of the music, and it usually does.  You need to eliminate that.

How to go about getting a new arm board for a new tonearm
Just an fyi, my first response from VPI was to call my dealer. After badgering the woman and letting her know my dealer would rather sell me the $5,000 arm instead of the $150 tonearm board, someone got on the phone and said I can take a photo of ... 
Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers?
I have a large flat panel behind my stats but I have a TV Lift that goes up and down by remote.  For serious listening, I lower the TV and have RPG diffusers behind it.   
Setup question
That's distortion and smearing.  Diaologue should be crystal clear, a whisper, just that, and totally discernible.   
Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction?
Room correction for bass to achieve linear bass is the new game changer. Too much smudging from the bass to the lower mid-range.  Room eq on 500 hz and below works nicely.

Thanks, guys.  That's my fist step!   
David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions
psag is spot on.  Its implementation.  David Berning makes some of the e st stuff I have ever heard.  He makes some of the best stuff anyone has heard.
