Int-Amp to drive Acoustat 1+1 speakers
Wow..$500.00 is tough for an integrated of any quality for these nice speakers which are not the easiest to drive, especially to moderately loud levels. Plenty of amps in the $500.00 range. But for an integrated the Jolida 1501RC ( remote too) com... 
Usher Audio's S-520
Hi, No not the 520's....but I felt the same when I heard the Usher 6371's I now own. Usher is on to something extrodinary IMO. I have been around the block and back with speakers over the years, and I really like what I hear from the Ushers.Throw ...

A Jolida 100A is an awesome player even in stock form. At the 1K price new..it definately competes wiith players in the 1.5-2K arena. CD redbook only, 24/96 upsampleing. 2-12AX7 tubes to roll to your hearts content if you wish. Very well built and...

Custom Power Cord Company
My only complaint of my Model 11's was they were so stiff, I had to bend them sufficiently so they would not pop off my Quicksilver Monoblocks IEC.

Best Amp For Martin Logan Aerius i Under $2000
I like Gregadd's choice. CAV-50 integrated is warm and smooth.Its simple, no nonsense approach.Right at your budget used. Should be a great match for the open and detailed Aerius!It should give them a fuller, lower mid bass :) Ken 
Anyone else heard the Quicksilver Triode Amps?
Boa2, Great to hear your find with these amps. I felt the same when taking home a Manley Stingray and hearing the musicality, texture, and palpability I never heard in any other system I have owned, including some pricey seperates. Something about... 
VR-4JR or USHER 6371
The Ushers will be best positioned well away from the rear wall, as will the VSA's. You can turn off the rear amience tweeter on the VR4Jr but that will comprimise the design. Similarly, the Ushers large rear port is not intended to be placed very... 
What are we listening to tonight?
The Peter Malick Group featuring Norah Jones...NYC...this rocks with excellent bass drive.I really prefer her vocals on this one.Mark Knopfler's new "Shangri-La"...Knopflers vocals and of course that sweet guitar.Ken 
Shorting caps/Cardas protective caps worth the $?
Agree with Pmotz...I use the Cardas rca caps on every open input. I used the balanced caps when I ran balanced. No down side here.

best powecords for Quicksilver M60 monoblocs
I used apair of CPPC model 11 cords on my M60 monos a few years back. Although they did indeed sound good, They are tough to work with as they are very stiff cords. I would perhaps recommend the VD cords also as they will bring out detail and put ... 
VPI Scout ... move to Scoutmaster or even further
Scoutmaster is a fine set up. But, its a shame not many talk of the Aries 2 with JMW10. As good as the SM is.. the Aries2 offers a better arm in the 10, more substantial mass in the plinth with the same 300 rpm motor, HRX based Platter/ bearing.Mo...
