Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it
I entered Ryme as well. 
How good REALLY is the Peachtree Grand Integrated?
I listened to the Peachtree Grand at a dealer and was quite impressed considering all that you get for the price. I had actually considered purchasing one to simplifiy my system but then stumbled on to a really good deal on a Vincent sv 237. I wil... 
Android phone/Pandora/stereo set-up
Do you have a protective case on your phone? If so that could be the problem as it will prevent the cable from going in all the way. 
Speakers for Office/Listening Room
my vote goes to ads l710's. yes they are vintage but they are easy to drive, will work well in your situation and sound fantastic with better build quality than most modern speakers in that price range 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
+1 Sunnyjim....I like Speaker Art speakers and all the owners I've talked to say the same thing...they will never part with them. I have only seen one pair for sale any where on the net in the last four years. 
Integrated Amp With Tone Controls and Tape Inputs
Try and audition a Vincent sv 237 or 236 mk. It has everything your looking for. I own a 237 and I think they are great sounding amps at a reasonable price. 
Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright?
I have the sv 237 with rca black plate 5751's and Morrow cables. I have to say your description of the bright and dry sound is not at all what I have experienced. I had originally purchased it for my wife to use in our small living room with some ...

Speaker Art / Soundfield speakers
Tough to make a recomendation without knowing your budget or what is available to you. Also what is your system comprised of? When I was looking for standmount speakers I had done quite a bit of research and when out and auditioned as many pairs a... 
Speaker Art / Soundfield speakers
Yes not too many owners of these speakers in fact I only know of two other members who have them. Speaker Art was pretty much a one man operation and he didn't follow the typical audio business model of paying for adverts in the audio rags. Had he... 
Speaker Art / Soundfield speakers
Bob Gross is the proprieter of Speaker Art is semi-retired from building speakers full time but will most likely build you a pair if you want. In fact ask him about the latest version of the Clef with the ribbon tweeter. I have a pair of Super Cle...
