Single driver speakers - opinions
I have owned many speakers of all ilks and am now really enjoying a pair of Lamhorn's (AER MK-1's with likely upgrade to AER MD3b's) with OTL amps (Tenor)....a very simple and direct system that I can listen to for hours. As others have mentioned,... 
suggest valve amplifier for Living Voice speakers
I have owned both the Komura 845 set amps and Verdier 845 set amps....although not with the LV speakers.I found both to be excellent and two of my favorite 845 based amps.My personal nod would be to the Komura....just a bit more dynamic life in th...

Tube Integrated with deep bass
If it is in your price range the Graaf 50B that is for sale is a very very good tube integrated ....I have no affiliation with the seller but used to own this model and if not for going to much more expensive seperates I would not have found any r... 
Resolution Audio Opus21 cabling options
Having owned both the modified and unmodified versions of this palyer (great player and great mod) I concur with the above two posts that going out of the DIN and bypassing the VC is an improvement ...I had good success with both a moderately pric... 
Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not?
Pete makes the VTAF so that your arm mounts right to the unit.I find even slight adjustments in VTA to make significant differences in quality of playback so to have this ability is the benefit 
Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not?
I did this with an RB700 (same 3 point mount as your 1000) on a customized lenco L-75 with very good results.I do think it may require you to enlarge the mounting hole on your rega ...if you contact Pete Riggle he will undoubtedly be able to take ...

Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers?
I have a pair of CS-2 that I have been playing with for the last several weeks. I am very impressed. I have been given the direction that SS amps work the best with these...I am not sure why that would be the case but I have not had an opportunity... 
Obscure companies making excellent speakers?
I think the open baffle designs from Emerald Physics are very interesting...I have and am quite impressed with the C-2 for a $3000 speaker. 
ps audio trio or bel canto s300?
I would contact Walter at underwood....he seems to have a good understanding of both products and you could also look at the wyred for sound product which used the same ice module as the Bel Canto. 
All time favorite speaker cables
I settled on the Jade Audio cables after trying many...they just seemed to sound "right" with a variety of components. I referred several longtime audiophile friends to these and we each have shared a similar experience. I think the Vermeil is one...
