Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope
Thanks for shining some light on the subject. I am quite inexperienced with VTA adjustments and hope to find a close approximate starting point with this method on one particular record. Hopefully, I can find a optimal point by making tiny adjustm... 
Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope
Thanks for the good read. With a 10x lupe and backlighting, still quite difficult. I will see when the scope gets here

CAT JL-3 Versus VAC phi 300.1 monos?
The VAC may be easier to maintain. When I had the 300.1, a power tube went out and amp was still able to play music despite increased background noise. Switched the tube and problem was gone. With the CAT, there is a chance you may need new resist...

Would center channel benefit audio only room?
Perhaps some 2d 3d diffusors from rpg are worth a try.

Luxman M-600A
I have also had pass previously and I am happier with Luxmans. Luxman had better bass control and detail with better pace. Pass was warmer sounding. Bridged or biamp with m800a were significantly better than one running stereo. 
Most Musical Subwoofers?
In my room, there is 35-40Hz suckout deal to bass cancellation at midline of the room. This is not present at 4 ft from the rear wall or 11 ft from the rearwall. Have you moved the seat backward and forward and remeasure? Is this present when you ...
