Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an
I am a fan of all four tubes you listed. My current favorite has to be the 6L6 though. Seeing how you'll need a dozen, they will probably be the cheapest of the four. They are not the best at low end, but your Vandy's amps will take care of that. ... 
Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking?
Check out this website for some pictures of turntables:http://home.c2i.net/jantoresvart/turntables/I'm with Gajgmusic, the Audiomeca Romeo with Romance arm is stunning, both visually and sonically. 
artists who most deeply touch you
Brad Nowell (Sublime), Aimee Mann, Lisa Ekdahl. 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
First, let me state that my ears are VERY sensitive to high frequencies. That said, I had a pair of 2.5i's and found them to be too harsh, very bright. They were matched with Adcom amps, not exactly the smoothest mids and highs. I ended up trading... 
Cardas Machined RCA Caps.???
I haven't noticed any sonic differences. I purchased them mostly to keep dust out. They are easy on the eyes as well. 
EAR V20 question maybe tubes question?
If the noise is only when you are adjusting volume, you probably just have a dirty pot. Clean out the volume pot and see if the problem persists. Happy listening. 
Cardas Caps on unused digital jacks?
I use Cardas Caps too. All the unused inputs on my pre have them. I threw one on the digital out of my cdp and didn't notice any sonic difference. I did it mostly to keep out dust. 
Tubes that Glow Different
I'm with Jab. Give Kevin a call. He's the best. He's given me tons of advice for my VAC PA160 mkIIs. 
Volume Control?
I've had excellent results running a Reference Line passive pre. I have the Preeminence One A, a true dual mono passive with two attenuators. Unforunately, Reference Line is out of business, but there's not much to fail in a passive. I picked mine... 
Does size matter?
Using smaller speakers in a small room is not a space saving issue. I have a small listening room (9' x 13') and have tried a couple of full range floorstanders. In a small room, these full rangers get "chocked", if you will. There isn't enough ai... 
Need Inexpensive shipping material
Ask for boxes at a liquor store. Beverage boxes tend to be heavy gauge cardboard, and they'd be free. 
anyone listened to groups DADA & BUTTERFLY JONES ?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was refering to Dada. 
anyone listened to groups DADA & BUTTERFLY JONES ?
I had forgoten about this band. I saw them play at Red Rocks in Colorado, they opened up for Sting. Very talented. I'll pull out the album I have of theirs tonight (the title escapes me). Thanks Bufus. 
Sony DVP 9000
I sent a couple of burned cd-r's to a friend with a 9000 and he can't play them. Is anybody else able to play cd-r's on their 9000? 
6L6 tube?
Kt 88,I ran those 6nc3's last night. My friends assesment of the 6l6 versus el34 is on the money. The 6nc3's are very musical. They are not the best at retrieving details (micro-dynamics) nor the lowest octaves and have a slight mid-bass boom. How...
