Is there a knowledgeable VPI Rep out there?
They have a form to fill out on line. 
How well does the VPI 16.5 work??
Wouldn't do vinyl without one. Easy to use. Great results. I have a few preliminary steps prior to vacuuming except for new vinyl. Advise to get one and don't look back.

Fourplay,Lee Ritenour, Acoustic Alchemy, Earl Klugh,Rippingtons, Allison Krause,are all ones I have collected and enjoyed. Agree the jazz dept. is great, and also the bluegrass.

Pre-amp suggestions
I used a Melos 111B with an Acurus A250, Cal Icon Mk II and Paradigm Ref. 100's. I was satisfied for a good while. I still have the Melos and the 100's. Switched to Sonographe and a 2 piece digital system. 
Is this for real?
My friend Joe in Tennesee said his top of the line Denon/ Paradigm Reference 100 home theater was lackluster in sound and " missing something" As I was on my way down, I said I would bring something that might help him out. I took my Sheffield Lab... 
Audio stores in Washington DC???
Agree that Soundworks has the best selection I have ever seen and I have bought some gear from them as well. I haven't been there for awhile, but it used to be if you read about it they had it. Ask for the sales manager. If it's the same one I dea... 
How hard is it set up Paradigm Studio/100.
11x14 on the room. Reviewers say they are not fussy re. plaacement. I have only tried two set ups in my room, across and lengthwise. I do know they need some power. I have tried 150 watts-Hafler Transnova,250 watts-Acurus (a mainstay for awhile ) ...

Amp help for Paradigm ref 100 before I go insane
Also agree on the 200 wpc. 
How do YOU justify this hobby?
Justify? AA = Audiophile Anonymous? I'm a musician? I'll get it right soon? It's one of the things I do that I like. 
Amp help for Paradigm ref 100 before I go insane
Can't comment on either specifically, though it was Rotel electronics running the 100's when I fell in love with them. Might want to mix some tubes in there somewhere. Mine are in the preamp- Melos 111B. I am currently using a Sonograph A400, whic... 
Seems right hand side is louder, need helps
I heard nothing from the right side 3 weeks ago and almost panicked.It turned out to be one heck of a sinus infection on that side that also had me going to the dentist because I thought a filling fell out, it hurt so bad. Decongestant and antibio...

Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems?
Yeah, but then we found that dedicated circuits not only eliminated the lights in the room dimming (Good reason to give wife)when the amp turned on, but improved the sound as well. My Hubbels from Fatwyre.com worked well and still do after several...
