What are the best interconnects.
Dave, I have McIntosh C2300 tube preamp, a pair of MCIntosh MC601 (600watts) mono blocks SS, Vendersteen 2CE Signature II , and a VPI TT.

I just bought the Crystal Clear Audio speaker cable. It's the Magnum Opus 6N pure silver conductor terminated with Cardas silver, plated with rhodium spades. Now this is just me but, this cable gave me better soundstage as in deeper and wider, way... 
Alpha Core AG-1 Cables with Vandersteen 2Ce Sig 2
Now I have a new pair of bi-wire cable from Crystal Clear Audio, the Magnum Oppus 99.9999% 6N silver conductor. Terminated by the Cardas silver spade plated with Rhodium. These cables really woke up my Vadersteen 2CE Sig 2 like never before. Sound... 
Which one to get: McIntosh C2300 or Mcintosh C2500
Nice Miner, I'm Really having good results with the Teles, both the ribbed and the smooth plates as well as the Gold Lion. 
Vandersteen 2ce Sig II
I actually auditioned the Pass Labs 600.5 before I bought my McIntosh MC601 and I wasn't to happy with them.

I too have the C2300 got it a month before the end of the production. I immediately rolled my tube to the Telefunken smooth plate on the MC phono and Gold Lion super cry on the Line Stage. I'm very happy with these tube. 
C2300 preamp
Agree with all above, it's a keeper for sure and yes It makes a huge difference over the C32 in sound quality. It's like comparing between Ferrari 308 to the 458 Italia. 
Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
Denmaqn, I use Crystal clear Audio Cable for interconnect and get excellent result. Go to this site: http://crystalclearaudio.com/ and talk to Mel the owner 909-856-8153. You can also read on his excellent reviews. Highly recommended.

UPDATE: I now change my McIntosh MC2100 (105wpc) to McIntosh MC601 monoblock (600watts) and a McIntosh C2300 tube preamp. It's jaw dropping, the Vandersteen really woke up significantly. 
vibrapods -- which component?
Stringreen and Lowrider, point taken I will remove the Vibrapods from my VPI. But I forgot to tell you that on my Scout, I have the feet from the HRX. Do I still need to change to bearpaws, if so, where can I buy them? ThanksMike 
vibrapods -- which component?
I just bought a set of four Vibrapods for my VPI turntable and it seems to work great.

VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question
I just spoke to Jack from VPI, he also said that the aluminum platter will also give you more bass. It's hard to believe that the material of the platter makes a different.
