What spikes for VR-4Jr's ?

2 Italians: Aloia CDP-11.01 & Lector CDP-7T ?
Hello,I own the Lector, have had it for over a year, and I can tell you I would compare it favorably with the Audio Aero Cap MkII and other similarly priced CDPs. I've heard a few other CDPs, Audio Note, I believe it was a 2 series but I'm not sur... 
Von Schweikert VR4jr
Hey Y'all,What's up Moe, it was very nice meeting you at the show. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm in agreement with Moemoney, the VR4jrs showed themselves very well although my wife and I found the sound to be a bit forward. I also felt the ... 
Want to experience tubed CDP?
Hello,I would look into the Lector CDP-5T. It cost about the same as your Cairn and it sounds wonderful. I lived with it for about 3 months waiting for my CDP-7T to arrive. The 7T is a better player but it also retails for $4000.00. At your price ... 
Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP?
Hey Y'all,Audiopoints!!! I have them or Sistrum stands under everything in my system, and they are the best I've tried. Then again, I've only tried a couple of things but the Audiopoints have stopped me from needing to look any further........John

Long Speaker Wire Runs
Hello R84288,I've just purchased some Jena "in wall" cable in a 35' length that I'm using for my rear channels and they are very good. I do not have them running in my walls and they come in two colors, blue or white. They cost me $362.25 shipped....

help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500
Hey Jamiec001,I don't know who told you that the JMRs don't rock, because they are dead wrong. I've had these speakers for almost two years now and they rock with the best of them. As a matter of fact the speakers I owned before these were Dynaudi...

Hey Jamiec001,No, don't scratch the JMRs, just the Offrands. The Trentes are the speakers to audition from there line, for your needs. I would also scratch the Silverline Sonata II, more for Jazz and small scale classical. The VR-4 Jrs, I think, a... 
help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500
Hey Jamiec001,I've been told by the distributor of Jean Marie Reynaud that the Offrand, while being a very solid speaker, does not possess the magic of the Trentes. I would also urge you to heed the warnings about floorstanding/full range speakers... 
help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500
Hello Jamiec001,I have the same taste in music as you and I love my Jean Marie Reynaud Trentes. They will do everything you've discribed above and more. They are so good, they will also help you appreciate many other types of music, as they've don... 
Krell HT Processors
Hey Rand,Thank you and your friend for the kind words, but I don't totally agree with his point about not being able to get good sound for both music and HT from one system. I've gone to great lengths to optimize my system for 2 channel performanc... 
Krell HT Processors
Hey Rand,I will begin by saying I am a Krell man, have been from the very beginnings of my system. I had the Krell HTS-1 and the KAV-500 amp. I've since upgraded, which leads me to my point, Krell is not the end all be all of high end audio/video.... 
DAC/Transport to a one box CD - need suggestions
Hello,I recommend the Lector CDP-.7T. Very smooth, 2 piece, tube output unit in your price range. I've owned it now for about a year and I absolutely love it. It got a great write up in The Absolute Sound.........John
