Adding a preamp to HT setup
I would check out the Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. I had it w/my older Aerial 6's. was an excellent combo. Tubes are auto bias and they last a long time. Currently w/my HT setup I have a Luxman CL38U-SE. w/my Aerial 5T's. Best preamp I've ever own... 
Subwoofer or New Speaker
Recently added a JL Audio D-110 to my Aerial 5T's. Excellent low end definition w/bass notes. Was very easy to set up in my small room.  
Just added a JL Audio D-110 to my system.
Recently my 27 year old Velodyne died. It really wasn't very good for music so it was used for the Godzilla stomps in movies. This sub is totally different a great musical sub and does more than enough for me with movies. Also glad I got the gloss... 
Non-rear ported Speakers
My last two speakers have been front ported. Original Aerial 6's and now my current Aerial 5T's. Both were easy to place in a small apartment. 
Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range?

Record cleaning machines
If you go to the VPI website it shows only 2 models available. The 17 apparently has been discontinued.

Looks like the new top of the line cleaner is the MW-1 $1499. Cleans forward and reverse and is 20 DB quieter than the 16.5.  
Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept?
Has to be 7B's not T's. The T is a 11K speaker. You won't find a 7T out there for less than 6-7K in good condition. The 7B if in good shape and if it has the Rosewood finish should garner 41500-2K. Three years ago I sold a pair of the older 6's fo... 
Parasound JC3+, or Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phonostage, or Whest Audio PS.40RDT SE
I would check out the Luxman E-250. Has a internal SUT, mono switch and a cart demagnetizer. $2250.  
Fyne Speakers now in the USA
Long drive maybe I'll take an Uber. 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
Not sure they still have it but the last time I was at Fidelis in Nashua NH they had a CTC Blowtorch pre amp in excellent shape. 
Wells Audio Majestic (no HT Bypass) vs. Integrated w/ HT Bypass - Help!
I have a Luxman CL38U-SE preamp that has no HT pass through. I hook up my Bryston amp to the Luxman w/RCA connections and the Balanced to the Krell preamp. Just flip the switch on the amp. 
Turntable recommendations
I've had the Luxman PD-171A for 11 months. This is my last TT. Well thought out and easy to setup. I love the built in strobe window as you can dial in the speed for both 33 & 45 rpm. Easy to change carts as it comes w/a detachable head. Fit a... 
If I want a bookshelf system this good, what should I buy?
Luxman 505 UX2 w/a pair of Aerial 5T speakers. 
Reference Full Function Tube Preamplifier
I heard the CL-1000 at my dealers store hooked up to the Luxman MB-300 tube amp. Great detail on well recorded music it almost sounded like a master tape. Way out of my price range. But can compete w/any top of the line tube preamp. I have the CL-...
