Are you an Audiophile?
Spending more money on gear than music is not stupid unless it really gets out of control. Good vinyl is quite expensive though. 
HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps
You people intrigued me. Now I want to experiment and create big bloody woofer pumping in my system. God bless me. 
Are you an Audiophile?
Yes. In addition to good music I am also interested in good sound. I like equipment too especially pieces with moving parts that I can see - decks, turntables.So where the hell can I find NOS Amperex tubes for my future LAMM amp and NM test pressi... 
Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to
No, Orpheus10, this is not. I like Dead Can Dance and have all their albums on vinyl. I also have their 1994 concert in California on video. Very talented people and very interesting duo. Her singing is quite abstract and he is very earthly.

Has2be, leave Elizabeth alone. Besides, everyone here knows that whatever she gets becomes extremely good or even the best.Speaking fast in Michigan? Well, try coastal Maine. What an accent but sounds good to my ears.Personally, I like to understa... 
Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps?

VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions"

PSB Stratus Gold; here for sale for $700. What amp do you plan to use? 
Best integrated for $500?
There is Audio Analogue integrated here on sale for about $500. It is Italian design, sounds good and warm. If it has enough power for you, it should do. 
VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions"
Right. But you know I might just invite Vladimir over for coffee. Anyway, I think many here with LAMM either use what he supplies or some particular military or medical grade Amperex. And with VAC I don't know. 
PAD speaker cable differences
As much as I like Purist cables (never heard the Canorus), I do suggest you consider other brands too, something that will sound different or maybe even better with your SET. There are Purist fans here and Stealth fans. Very generally speaking, Pu...

Musical Affairs speakers look very interesting. But you can only audition them in Chicago.
