Von Schweikert VR4 sr, also will be showing the VR9s - wow! 
Agon Members at CES
I'll be there too. First time so I'm really not sure what to expect. Green stickers eh? Kind of sounds like a start to a joke, "So there were all these guys at CES with green stickers on their badge....-Dan 
Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire?
May not be the most affordable stuff but Jena Labs has cryoed super pure copper wire. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Duran Duran, AstronautJimmy D Lane, Legacy...SRV fans take note of this one. 
subwoofer question on SVS and HSU..
With a budget of $700 you should be able to get a Paradigm PW2200 if they still make them. It's an awesome sub and would match great with the Paradigm 60's.Is this for a HT setup? 
Best copper interconnect cables
I highly recommend Jena Labs Trio Plus Ultras, a great find in high end audio if you ask me. I've tried many cables around the $300 mark and these are the best. 
"The Law of Diminishing Returns"???
Interesting thread. Everyone has made valid points already, I'll just add my two cents. In my opinion, with this hobby there is no absolute. There are too many opinions, theories and variables to think otherwise. One reviewer gets blasted for trea... 
Audio Research 100.2 vs. 150.2
I have heard the 150.2 many times at my dealer back when I was looking for a new amp. It came down to the ARC 150.2 or a Pass X150. I was able to hear both driving Maggie 1.6's. I ended up with the Pass since I felt it had a more natural presentat... 
Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less?
I would bet that a McCormack DNA 1, DNA 1 Deluxe would sound great in your system. Plenty of power for the Vandies. Its a very good SS amp under $1k. 
Walker Audio Extreme SST
I recently applied the SST on my tonearm cables and cartridge pins and was surprised to hear a very positive improvement. Next up was the tonearm cable to RCA box (I own a Scout) and again noticed a similar improvement but to a slightly lesser deg... 
has anyone tryed Ginko Cloud
I am curious as well. For the price I almost bought one just to try it. That was before the recent test in Stereophile, favorable measurements have regained my interest. But have yet to pull the trigger for some reason. Sure a turntable (for me a ... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Designs Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker Monitor
I had the pleasant surprise of hearing the Sason's at an audio get together about a month ago. A wide variety of music was played at the event and various gear was swapped in and out of the system. I must say that when the Sason's were in the syst... 
Paradigm pw 2100 sub...
I've owned the PW2200 and thought it was one of the better subs out there at its price (at least up against what I was able to hear locally). I heard it at a dealers room with $5k monitors in a real nice stereo set-up and then switched it over to ... 
Yamaha or marantz
I've owned both Yamaha and Marantz receivers in the past and can say that for music Marantz does a much better job. In my opinion, Yamaha adds too many bells and whistles rather than focus on the sound quality. 
Anyone using Von Schweikert's w/ Musical Fidelity?
I think there were a few threads some time ago about amps used with VSA speakers, check into that thread.
