Top Ten Tuners of all Time??
My recapped Sansui G9000 is really a great sound. I'm imbarresed to say it approaches my 50K system in some aspects. 
To Preamp Or Not To Preamp Vac 30/30 MkII
I have the 30/30 Mk111 and pair it frequently with my Coincident Statement linestage. It is an excellent match for the 30/30. Soundstage and dynamics to die for. I would highly recommend the Coincident pre. 
Power cord suggestions?
I've had lots of Cary gear through the years and my experience after trying many cable types has always come back to Synergistic Research. I have no affiliation with this company but there products have always been stellar in any of my Cary system's. 
Speaker Cables With SET Amps
Ocellia silver sounds best on my Coincident Franks 
can u cut longer interconnects and reterminate?

Pre-amps with seperate power supplies .....
I have a Cary SLP05 preamp that has a separate power supply connected by an umbilical cord. I tried the RAL replacement and found the stock cord to be far superior. In all fairness, I probably didn't give the RAL umbilical enough time to break in ... 
Anyone had power supply failure with an AVID TT?
I've had my Volvere for more than 2 years and have never experienced any problems. Could there be some surges in your power that are taking out the power supply?

New preamp experience
Charles1dad, Since I purchased the Franks, I find that I use the VAC less and less. Don't get me wrong it is a great amp and I most likely will not part with it but now I see a VAC, sig MkII pre amp for sale here. The madness has to stop somewhere...
