Need suggestion on VTL TL-5.5 tubes
Elevick:This is from the Tube Depot Website:One of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s favorite tubes was the 5751 preamp tube. With 30% less amplification than a 12AX7, but 100% interchangeable, an amp using the 5751 preamp tube creates a creamier and smoother t... 
Need suggestion on VTL TL-5.5 tubes
I'm not familiar with the tube layout of the VTL 5.5, but if the 12AX7 tubes are used for the gain stage, you could sub in some 5751 tubes. These have about a 30% reduction in output. 
Worried about Denon 103R high tracking force on LP
2.2 to 2.8 grams of VTF is really not all that high. You will be fine. 
Cd player not working without remote
Try unplugging the unit and waiting a few minutes, then plug it back in. This may reset the unit. 
With average use how long for panel replacement ML
I concure with Magfan...can you say delamination? With the Martin Logan's, you can buy a new set of panels which are pretty easy to install yourself. When a Magnepan goes down, it's pretty much a complete and messy internal surgery to repair yours... 
With average use how long for panel replacement ML
In general, it's pretty much agreed upon, that every 12-15 years you should replace the panels with normal use. The cost of replacement panels just skyrocketed, so I would check with Jim Powers, (I agree, Jim is a GREAT guy) to see how much the pa... 
Vinyl Front End Upgrade
I second the ARC phono stages. 
Non-Linn Speakers for an all Linn system
I'll add: Some of the older Mission and Celestion speakers. 
Refoaming vintage OHM speakers
You could also try Simply Speakers. They have reconed/refoamed several drivers for me and did a wonderful job. They sell kits too, if you want to do it yourself, but their prices are quite reasonable.www.simplyspeakers.com 
Odyssey Stratos vs KAV Krell 300i
I haven't heard the Krell, but I have owned every version of the Odyssey Stratos amps. Started with the basic Stratos amp, liked it so much I sold it and bought the "cap upgraded", (now called the PLUS) version. Liked it so much, I sold it and bou...

Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C
I would try moving them at least 6 feet apart, (if not 7-8 feet) and pulled out from the back wall 3 feet, (if not more). 4 feet apart is way too close together for a proper stereo image.The more you move them out from the wall the deeper the soun... 
Compatible stylus for a Shure V-15 series III
There are actually THREE different versions available from LP Gear. The regular VN35III ($49.95), the VN35HE ($59.95) and the SAS VN35HE ($99.95). The OP asked just about a regular V15 Type 3. I also agree that the SAS ($99.95) version is the best.
