Speaker grills on or off?
I think it depends on the design(er) of the speaker. I know that some are made to have the grilles on. Try it and see which you prefer. 
What's the sonic advantage of bi-wiring
I prefer a single wire with jumpers to biwiring. I agree it really depends on the speaker and how the crossover is designed.I have owned many, many, many speakers and outside of the Vandys, I always preferred the method above.

Steve...thank you very much for the explanation! 
Can I connect 2 Adcom Preamps?
The GTP-600 is a surround preamp/processor so the outputs are labeled FRONT RIGHT & LEFT, REAR RIGHT & LEFT and there are (2) CENTER CHANNEL outputs. They are located right under the S-VIDEO inputs on the GTP-600.

New Orleans Jazz Fest
I've been watching it on AXS TV, on and off all day long. Excellent talent. 
Digital cable...
I'm using a Grover Huffman AES/EBU cable from my CEC TL-2 and (2) Grover Huffman coax cables, one from my Olive 04HD music server and one from my Squeezebox Duet to my EE MiniMax DAC and LOVE them! They sell new direct from Grover for around $100 ...

Steve...where does jitter occur? Is it more likely to come from the transport/music server or from the DAC? Can it be eliminated completely and how would that be done?

What's up with Ridge Street Cables
I don't mean to be rude, but were the Ridge Street Cables ever "in favour"?With so many cables on the market and all cables being system dependent, how can any cable really be "in favour"?Just asking. 
...just wondering
VPI had an open house a few weeks ago to introduce a prototype of their new direct drive turntable. This gathering also introduced the new 3D printer arm wand and the ceramic platter.I really don't think anyone has one yet? Stringreen, you might b... 
Can I connect 2 Adcom Preamps?
Yes, just hook up the table to the GTP-500's phono input and use the preamp outputs to any line level input on your GTP-600. This will allow you to use the volume control on the GTP-500 to match levels, however a cleaner signal would be to use the... 
Jolida JD9 settings for use with a Denon DL-160?
I agree. 55db is way too high. The DL-160 should use around 40db-42db of gain. This will depend on the gain of the line stage also, but should be close to that range.The 47pf capacitive loading you have set really shouldn't matter a lot. Moving co...
