Who can repair older Theta
That is crazy, why won't Theta work on their older products. I can't beleive they expect original owners to live and die with their products, it's just not realistic. It's not like you aren't willing to pay for their service, if that's the case I ... 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
I used to own the 801 series 3 and only upgraded to the N802's because of the crossover, FST midrange driver and other improvements. I will say that years ago people would sell the 801's not realizing how good they really were because they were la... 
VPI Classic Platter
I forgot to add that this was VPI's reason for the aluminum over the acrylic of the standard Scout from a review.____________________________________________________________Weisfeld's rationale: "You can machine aluminum much better (+/- .001" in ... 
VPI Classic Platter
Wow, big bummer! My new Classic TT was just delivered today and now it's gonna suck! I am going to be looking for a super platter equivalent now before I even opened it. Sounds like I should go ahead and sell it sealed and look for a Super Scoutma... 
Surge protectors without noise rejection
PS Audio Duet or Quintet is a pretty good way to go. 
are subwoofers anti-audiophile?
I have been running right and left B&W subs with my N802's for the last decade and just feel it is icing on the cake. I have a second system that I just added a single sub with my B&W 9NT's and it just took it up a notch in musicality. If ... 
Small integrated for Silverline Minuets
It's not US but I have enjoyed the older Musical Fidelity X-Series or the later version X-150 is worth a look. Here is one on Audiogon right now which I have no connection with:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatran&1272664009&/Mu... 
ipod connection to home audio system
I bought a Wadia and love it connected to a PSA DL III which sounds better than I ever expected. Of course compression rate matters and I am only using standard ACC format and listen even more often now. When I do critical listening I prefer vinyl... 
tubes and rock and roll, good fit?
Audio Research, BAT, Conrad Johnson, VTL would all be worth considering. 
tubes and rock and roll, good fit?
I used to rock with VTL 300/Kef 107's when they first came out. I now run a Krell 300S/B&W N802 for reliability and cost unless you can afford to keep fresh tubes running. It is a fine line and each has desirable benefits to offer. I have enjo... 
PS Audio GCC-250 - how to take it to "musicality"
Maybe you're source (DAC, CD or TT) or cabeling could be looked at. I found Purist Audio cables to be very musical in my sustem and you don't need the top of the line, the Museaus is excellent for the money. Deffinately try other tweaks but acoust... 
B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8
My room is 14'(front)X24'(deep) and use N802's and a 108" screen, There is 7'6" between them and sit about 10' back to the front row seating. I play both music and movies with excellent results. I also use stereo B&W ASW800 subs up front for j... 
B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8
I would get the 803D! they look awesome with the FST driver and 3 additional front woofers. http://www.hometheatermag.com/floorloudspeakers/1005bw/#It may sound typical with B&W but I have been listening to them since mid 90's because they "ro... 
B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8
I use 802N's in a 13 X 24 room with 300 watts, they are still a great value here in the used market. Your the room size itself could pose more of a problem because the two walls are equal length. Make sure the sound accoustics are in place first b... 
VPI HW-17
The MFSL brush is awesome and I highly recommend using one for new albums and the other for older used albums.http://www.soundstagedirect.com/mfsl-record-brush.shtmlWhen I had the HW17, the fluid would evaporate if not used for a long time. I use ...
