Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?
Ask Bob Graham. The setup tools he supplies with his arm are the best I've ever used. I can't any aftermarket product being better but......?????????? 
Want to replace Vandersteen 1C's with better spk
The Signature is significantly better than the 2ce. More transparent, better midrange, more tuneful bass. The Virgo, in my opinion, is better than any Vandersteen short of the 5A. I haven't heard the Quatro. 
I hope break in is true
I owned the AI S120 many years ago. One of the more boring amps I've ever heard. In my opinion, not in the same class as their M3A preamp. 
Whatever Happened To SAE?
The went bankrupt more than twenty years ago. 
Where do I get an amp repaired?
Try Tom Carione at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia. 626-359-9131. Brooks was a Golden Tube dealer before they went of business and Tom is an outstanding tech. 
Want to replace Vandersteen 1C's with better spk
If you like the Vandersteen sound the 2CE Signature would be a logical upgrade. If you choose Thiels try to get a trial period with them. They tend to be bright and can fatigue after extended listening. My best recommendation is a pair of used Aud... 
Audio Physic Scorpio
Not the same lineage. Different designer and, in my opinion, not in the same league as the Virgo II or Avanti III.

"There might be a law against this practice." Please site the law that requires a retailer to accept a return. I don't believe there is one. A good dealer will do his/her best to satisfy a customer but they are not legally obligated to accept retu... 
Tivoli Radio???
Well, clearly we don't all hear the same. As I said, I ownthree of them and think they provide exceptional performance for the cost. I especially like the portability and signal capturing capability of the PAL. I will probably buy more in the futu... 
Tivoli Radio???
Zaikesman,Why shoud someone flame you? You don't like it. People have different likes and dislikes. I think they are great radios with the emphasis on radio. I would not use them as the centerpiece to a stereo system. I don't think they are good e... 
Tivoli Radio???
I own a One, a Three and a PAL. I've also owned the Bose. All are clearly superior to the Bose. I don't know about using one as a stereo system. They may fall short but as good sounding radios they are outstanding. 
Anybody heard the new Gingko Tubulous speakers?
They are an amazing sounding speaker regardless of price. The look is in the eye of the beholder. I like the look. Vinh Vuis one of the genuine good guys in high-end. All his prod ucts are top quality and he stands behind them. 
DIY Internal bracing for NHT 2.9
It sounds like a mistake to mean. The drivers were voiced with the cabinet as designed. I suspect you will be unhappy with the results. 
Can you put SACD format on MP3 players?
No. You can transfer it via the analog outputs of your SACD player and convert to MP3. 
Vandersteen 2CE amplification jumpstart-cables,sub
The amps, while very good, are not enough for the Vandys. They really need 100 watts to deliver their best.
