Best Bass Amp!
Right. Anyone taking time to read up on the theory and practice of distributed bass (which if you haven't you should) will quickly come to realize that while the very best results come from distributing as widely as possible still the concept is s... 
Reasonable but not outragious interconnects
Listen to rhinocom: I started out with Monoprice interconnects. My system sounded fine or so I thought. I was a newbie to the concept of cables and power cords and power conditions making a difference. But I took a leap of faith and Invested some... 
Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system
Any high end system, home theater or stereo, simply cannot be done right any other way than by investment of vast personal time and energy. It requires that you learn a lot, listen a lot, shop and compare a lot. You go to one place for everything ... 
Dual vs single sub
You will have much better results adding than subtracting. The problem is none of the conventional approaches addresses the fundamental problem of resonance nodes at low bass frequencies. Two subs are better than one, but three is even better and ... 
Adding a Pre-Out to an integrated tube amp
This is by far the simplest, clearest explanation of why and what and how to do it as I have been able to find. http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.htmlThere's also tons of LOCs I could buy, but they are all the same inside and so ... 
Does removing anti-skating really improve sound?
lewm and especially pegasus, right on. This is another one of those things that looks simple enough in theory but gets complicated fast in practice, mainly because in theory everything is static when in reality everything is dynamic and constantly...

LOC may be the way to go. http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.html 
Adding a Pre-Out to an integrated tube amp
That's exactly what I have. The Dayton accepts line level inputs only. My options are add a pre out or use a Line Out Converter to drop speaker level down to line level. That's what I've been doing with my current sub which has a plate amp that ac... 
Im looking for an expert review of my system
The HFT and ECT might not look like much, but they will make your speakers disappear. You only think they sound good now. These things won't change the fundamental character of your speakers at all. They will sound exactly like they do now, only w... 
Adding a Pre-Out to an integrated tube amp
Nothing cheap about it.I was planning on unplugging it. 
Im looking for an expert review of my system
You're basically happy with your system. Your speakers really sing. You think maybe the room....?You are right! https://highend-electronics.com/products/sr-hft-high-frequency-transformer 
new equipment power conditioner or more powerful amp?
Agree, tweak the system setup and then the room. For $1-2k you could buy enough Blue Quantum Fuses, ECTs and HFTs to have your system performing on a level far beyond anything you could get from any new amp on the market. This stuff is seriously t...

Best Bass Amp!
Hey any reason to mention distributed bass array is a good reason to mention distributed bass array! 
Choosing the right cartridge....
I have the VTPH 2A, love it with my Koetsu. The Herron has plenty of gain for its .4mV output. There are probably plenty of phono stages people will notice seem to work well or not so well with certain cartridges. I rather doubt that is the case w...
