Who makes your favorite vintage phono sections???
A Sansui AU D11 is what I use. It has been upgraded and has the gain to play most any cart. I run a ZYX into mine. Very happy with the sound. 
How did you discover audiogon?
Bar bathroom wall. Somebody wrote "for a good time join Audiogon". 
Would you pay to audition speakers
I just visited some relatives in Dayton Ohio. As I always do in new cities, I shop for vinyl and try to scope out audio I don't have access to at home. I went into Hanson Audio and met Kevin. I stated my circumstance and intent was to listen (I ne... 
Receivers
B&K. My 307 has had a 507 processor upgrade when they were available and now I'm waiting for the newest upgrade to be available. It's been a very reliable receiver. It has THX Ultra and bass management. I've seen quite a few 507's for sale here.

VPI 16.5 Problem
Do not just try to pull the platter off. I had a similar issue and the splindle was loose. Around the spindle there is a part of the cork which is removable (I used an exacto knife). Under that there are three screws. You can then see the spindle ... 
Kirksaeter Prisma Speakers
My 220's are towers and it's the Silverline group. The Prisma's are a different level. You've asked twice about the sound. It's hard to describe because of the sources and amplification feeding them. I use vintage solid state amplification (upgrad... 
Kirksaeter Prisma Speakers
I run the 220's in my 2-channel analog setup and my friend just bought the Prisma setup for a HT he is building. I also bought some cables from a former Kirksaeter dealer. He had very good things to say about the speakers. I am quite happy with mi...
