JBL 4319...The Big Easy
nonoise,Have you tried any of the Purist Audio interconnects? I had a similar problem with the B&W 802D loudspeakers. This worked quite well for me in my system at the time. 
JBL 4319...The Big Easy
Wow. Can't imagine two more different types of speakers (4319 and 4367) from the same company! You guys and gal, have picked my interest. I would like to audition these JBL's somewhere including the new L-100. My only concern would be that the new... 
Integrated w/phono but no DAC
The Belles Aria or Rogue Sphinx look like the best candidates here. IMO 
Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations
Agree with good record hygiene. Another thing to look at would be the Apt Holman's phono stage. While certainly good in it's day, I would believe a bit better outboard phono stage would be in order. IMO. 
Zerostat Milty really?
I tend to agree with controlling humidity, or lack there of, and using a brush with a ground connected to it. I used to live in the Midwest where humidity was in abundance. But out In Arizona, well you gotta be careful not to get shocked out of yo... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Another vote for Vandersteen Quattro CT. 
EQ for hifi stereo
So, if you put this Schitt in your system, it will sound better?

With Internet radio, (streaming) do AM\FM tuners serve any purpose in HEA?
I bought a near mint condition Rotel RT-1080 for a bargain price. Right out of it's factory shipping carton it looks and works like new. Thinking about getting a decent powered FM antenna for it and see what happens. This unit doesn't have HD or X... 
Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions
+1, tomic601Jim has given me setup assistance along with room treatment recommendations and has helped me make my Vandersteen setup better sounding. He has vast experience with these things and knows Richard Vandersteen personally. 
Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions
pilrem,Good choice on selecting Jonathon Spelt for your set up! When I lived in Wisconsin I bought my Treo Ct's from him. His store auditions were impeccably set up and is what convinced me to buy from him. Love my Treo's and also have a Vandy 2Wq...

Best MM?
Any of the Soundsmiths in that price range. Very neutral, dynamic SQ. I've had carts from Shure, Sumiko, Clearaudio, Dynavector, Ortofon and a few others in that price range and found the Soundsmith's worked and sounded the best in my system. 
Regards Apollo R vs. Saturn (used)
I got an Apollo when they first came out. I really liked the player. I was able to home audition a Saturn from my dealer. I went back and forth relentlessly between the two, and could not tell much (if any) difference between the two. Kept the Apo... 
Integrated Amplifier
In my opinion, I would say the Belles Virtuoso would be the no brainer choice of the group.
