Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier
I'm having great luck with the Modwright paired with my AES (Cary) Sixpac monos. Clear open sound, great decay with respectible detail. In addition to searching the threads, you can search the systems here and see what folks are using it with. 
Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto
Winegasman, a clarification, three posters have not recommended $2200 VD cables, in fact no one has. Bombaywalla stated that he heard the Callistos with the Master Series and two other posters only recommended VD cables, not any specific series. T... 
IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER
When did this start? Has it always been there? When was the last time the image was centered? I recently had the exact same problem and I switched everything SCs, ICs, speakers, I tracked it down to a tube in my CDP that was going bad. Again, when... 
help need in choosing a $800 to $1500 cd player
Nice job on the update Larry. All too often folks ask for advice and don't update their decision or direction. Best of luck with your new Apollo! 
Looking for a source of vibration dampening sheets
The reason for asking this question to begin with was because I can feel cabinet vibrations along with the music in my CDP and preamp when I place my hand (palm) on top of the components. I figured dampening sheets would help this. Then, I remembe...

Virtual Dynamics
I'm with you. I did a total system change to VD David cables several months back with great success. My one addition would be added weight to the music, it just sounds more solid with these cables. They are great people to deal with as you say as ...

Best lines in a song
Mejames, the title of the song and the CD is "Crash". Really a terrific CD. 
How good are the AES Sixpacs???
I've owned them for more than a year. Are they better than your current amp, don't know, you would have to be the judge of that. I have owned Krell and Pass Labs SS amps as well as a very good Manley Stingray integrated and I still have the Sixpac... 
Verve Master Editions
Pretty amazing, I just did an Amazon search this afternoon for "20 Bit" to see the library of 20 bit master recordings... I chose two to put on my "Amazon Wish List", one of them was "Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson". I'm glad to hear you think s... 
Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Vandersteen 3A signatur
I'm sure you'll get some feedback from members here, but their rigs/rooms/music choices won't be the same as yours. You got some good advice from Sdcampbell above. Your conscience won't be clear until you hear these for yourself in your room with ... 
Who Has The Best service department
Green Mountain Audio has warranty for life on their products, no matter how many owners the speaker has had. Tough to beat. 
Jackson Browne's new CD
