Homemade sound panels
Before you make your own panels, have a look at these. Excellent price, and I have been happy the results in my listening room with four of their 2 x 4 foot wall panels.http://www.atsacoustics.com/ 
Self-powered mini speakers for iPod
I haven't compared the speakers that you list, but I own two sets of the Audioengine 2 self-powered speakers. They are excellent and the bargain of the year at about $199 shipped, as I recall. Well made, detailed and musical sound, compact, inexpe... 
Ginko Cloud 11 vs Solidsteel 5.5
Markus1299: Have you contacted Gingko? Vinh Vu --- the designer --- should be able to help out with your situation. He makes these products in a variety of sizes to fit VPI tables.Jim 
Ginko Cloud 11 vs Solidsteel 5.5
The Gingko Cloud 11 was a definite upgrade for my VPI Aries 2. I added the Cloud to my existing equipment rack (the extremely solid Bright Star Audio "Rack of Gibraltar"), and the improvement in noise floor and detail was immediately evident. It i... 
Question for Andra owners
I know you are experimenting with speaker placement, but how do you like the Andra's in your room? Curious about this because I'm interested in the Andra's also, but am wondering whether they'd overpower a room that's 14 x 14 x 9 (about the same a... 
VPI - Mini Feet
I'm not using the mini-feet on my Aries II, but I suspect that they might be more useful if I upgraded to the Superplatter and ring weight. I imagine they'd provide somewhat more support than the stock cone-shaped feet, as Stringreen and Johnbrown... 
Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help
A lot of us have very busy lives and extremely tight schedules. But only you can set your priorities. Since you've asked for advice, though, I can tell you that my own solution for music-listening time involves avoiding television in the evening a... 
Upgrades for Scoutmaster, In order of improvement?
On my Aries II Black Knight (quite similar the Scoutmaster), I have found the SDS and a Gingko Cloud 11 platform to be excellent upgrades. 
Step-up transformer for Dynavector 17D3?
I mean to say "Heed Audio Quasar" of course. Sorry about the spelling glitch. 
Step-up transformer for Dynavector 17D3?
How do you like the Heed Qudio Quasar phono preamp that you are currently using? Are you planning to switch that out? 
VPI Aries 3 Has Arrived
Are you using the SDS with your Aries 3? I found it to be a significant upgrade for my Aries 2 in terms of pace and timing. Also curious about which cartridge you've been using with the new rig?Good listening to you.

What is the best phono pre-amp new for 1000.00
Don't know what sort of cartridge you're using, but if like me you are using Dynavector (in my the Dyna 17d2 Karat), you might want to look into the Dynavector P75 phono stage. Around $600 or so. It's worked well for me. BTW, I'm presuming you're ...
