VTI audio rack, any good?
Bobabout a year ago I had the same situation you are in. I had a Solid Steel 5.4 and needed more space. I got a VTI. It is hard to comment about sound differences, but the design and construction are clearly a compromise. The shelves are very thin...

Are there any albums you consider perfect?
to add to your Tears for Fears list---if you don't have, find a copy of a 12inch single for "I believe" , it was recorded live studio and the audio is incredible. I second the Seeds of Love, especially if you can find a Japanese CD release 
Digital Cable Like Yamamura : Laidback, Smooth
I have to agree with you about your impressions. I also run mostly Yamamura cabling, along with StraightWire Cresendo/Acrotec. In case you weren't aware Yamamura was also labeled at ART. You may add that to your search. PS--I may have a 6000 digit...

Counterfeit Electronics??
I beleive most of the fakes are things like accessories, like Bluetooth devices, cell batteries, audio cables, not electronics. If you go to a local flea market you will see the type of fakes that are made. it think it would be too time consuming ... 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
Mental note--never let Leoturetsky borrow my gear...You mention Zobel networks on the end of your speaker cables. Have you removed them and has it reduced any of the pops/noises? Just a guess, but I beleive the Zobels change the load on the amp, w...

Reference level cables that are 10-years old? buy?
I would have to side with Pawlowski, I have a hobbyist for over 20 years and have seen more changes in Marketing then actual cable design. FrankC, are you looking at the cables over at Music Lovers Berkley? I was there last week and saw those cabl...
