Klipsch KG4 v. Vandersteen 2ce NOT Sig
Nie rig.I expend the speaker hunt more broadly.Go listen arround.Your speakers are the fianl arbiter of sound and it's be a shame to limit the potential of that rig.Chazz 
Down firing vs. normal subwoofer
As is always said you can't localize (identify where it coming from) below 150Hrz this is not always the case.To wit many folks prefer two subs though theoretically you should only need one.But I think the type of sub,it's components,placement in ... 
Did I kill my stylus?
Everybody's done it.No big deal.You even have less wear because though it followed lead out groove it didn't get rough edges of music groove.It would have been trouble for you if full LP was replayed over and over since pounds per square inch are ... 
efficiency- hope i spelt that wright.
Have 94db Horn with 7" coil drivers.I tried some SET and it will work but again as mentioned above you often have to discern what they will play with and what they will require to open up and give dynamics's.Fro mine I would say that only a 22 wpc... 
Re-arranged Room Sounds Awful...How to Improve?
Not sure how much lyngdorf is but TacT is $10K,Is you could swing $3K (less used) check out DEQX which is amazing.It not only corrects for room in digital domain but also can make most lowly speaker sound a like a competitor that costs ten times m...

And forget about criticising and advertiser.Money talks and when I posted something about a dealer wih a crap attitude (something all to common in luxury products where arrogance somehow to many people convinces the average person they know what t... 
Upgrade from Scout to Scoutmaster-how did it go?
Good to hear about VTA.Thought you might have to "get involved".Ghunter-I can't agree because having upgrades s fun.But a major boner they pulled was this "give us your TNT5 platters and trade it in for neato all acrylic platter that fits clamp".N... 
Whose got best class D at this point?
I think this new Nuforce may really be a step up.I think we are in infancy of chip amps.I am surprised though given what I have read that another digital product hasn't caught fire that being the DEQX processor (I know I am hijacking my thread but... 
Brass door knobs as footers
Neat.Reminds me of folks using old electric pole isolators to lift cables off synthetic or synthetic bend carpets.You can find those a flea markets,antique shops,and Ebay and they (the isolators) work/look better and cheaper than many "pro" device... 
Old B&O vs. new Rega P1
To what Piedpiper said I went from that NAD (Rega 1 to P3 before I went to $5500 VPI and thier is big jump from P1 to P3.But under $1K I'd look a Music Hall Line as well.P25 is good for some but I think used Scout will get you there for $1K throw ... 
Upgrade from Scout to Scoutmaster-how did it go?
Interesting about Gingko not being as dramatic as other upgrades since harry said in Ginko press "Adding Ginko is like going from $500 to $2500 Cartridge" or words to that effect.I spoke with Mike a VPI and he said any motor can haul arround any p... 
Old B&O vs. new Rega P1
Yes.Rega and nice $300 cart will lead you unto path of Hell.Be forewarned!!!!!Abandon all hope.Might as well sell you car now and get hat $10K deck with three arms and $7K tube be phono stage and save yourself the in between models.Hope yours is s...

Transrotor Fat Bob S vs. VPI Aries 3
