Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy?
I went from an old Thorens TD166mkII to a VPI Classic 1 and the improvement was staggering with regard to bass improvement and the blackness of the background also isolation from footfalls. I would expect the scout would elicit the same improvemen... 
Pre amp for Pass Labs XA30.5 – Tube or SS
Directly from the mouth of Nelson Pass."Our experience is no problems at all with the ARC or CJ products with regard to interface. The amp doesn't care about source impedance. It's actual input impedance is close to 0 ohms, and the input impedance... 
Pre amp for Pass Labs XA30.5 – Tube or SS
Out of what you listed I would chose the XP-10 for the ss choice nothing like system synergy IMO. Then either the ARC ref 3 or 17ls series II cj for the tubed units. The ARC has balanced outputs so that may present an advantage over the cj unit if... 
Tubes for Conrad Johnson PV 12 preamp
Yes I have used them in my Cary SLI-80F1 (both power and pre stage) and a conrad johnson pre along with a tubed phono stage. I really like them as they are detailed and dynamic and seem very robust as I never had one fail.Chuck

Since the Airport Express is an Apple product and designed to work with i-tunes. I think to play a WAV file a microsoft product you need a linking software such as Air Foil to play a wav file through your Airport.http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/win... 
Preamp for Pass Labs X150.5 or X250.5
Nothing better than system synergy a Pas Labs Pre with a Pass Labs Amp. If you want an Integrated a Pass Integrated such as the INT-150.Chuck

Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp
Doggealum do you still have the modwright amp? I am looking at either Keith's equipment or Pass and possibly conrad johnson if I decide to go with a tubed amp; although my wife hates tubes. Chuck

And why I devote most of my time to playing Chopin; Simply a genius. 
Greatest Composers of All Time
Wow I speak some German as well so I like listening to the German version which keeps my ear tuned to the language and it's cadence. 
Greatest Composers of All Time
Thanks. Classical is about all I listen to. I do on occasion listen to female jazz vocals. I might also add that I am a classical pianist and play mostly Chopin and Beethoven.I also enjoy listening to Radio Swiss Classic.

I use a Benz Micro Wood SL which is .4mv output. Chuck 
Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp
I have the 69 dB gain model and No it can not be switched without sending the unit into Keith. Because of the sonic qualities of the VTPH-2 I am seriously considering going with his VTSP-3Ar02 and M1A's.Chuck 
Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp
The Herron is a very musical phono-stage yet very detailed and quiet . Also it is flexible with the loading resistors and is a very clean and well laid out design. I compared it to an Audio Research reference model of a couple of years ago and the...
