inches above vtl amps
VAC states 3" min. for their amps. That would give you something to go by. I'm pretty sure that is for an open shelf type rack, not a cabinet. 
Tables That Feature Bearing Friction
Air would be a poor choice for a drive mechanism since it is compressable. Hydraulic fluid on the other hand is not compressable. Driving the platter with hydraulics would be an alternative choice. A pressurized bearing could also be utilized. I'm... 
B&W 802d Room Placement
Where does your 24" measurement come from? When I set up my N802's, I measure from the plane of the tweeter to the wall and I like 42". I like a small amount of toe in, set with a laser pointer to just hit the outside edge of my chair. Toe in set ...

Sony CDP X77ES- Sled sticking
If you are talking about the drawer sticking it is an easy fix. You don't need a laser assembly. It's been a long while since I fixed one of mine. But, as I recall the drawer is operated with a cable/pulley setup. It may even be string that goes a... 
distance between speakers
I agree with Newbee. Measure from the center of the driver. Different speakers will require different distances in the same room. For instance, the ESP speakers in my room are spaced further apart than when I set up the N802's. Front wall spacing ... 
AES 6 pacs Speaker choice?
Proac Response 2.5 or D28 are tube friendly, small footprint, wood veneer, two way, and have the sonics that would compliment the types of music you prefer. You can find them used in your price range. 
Is it worth it to repair a cj pv2ar?
Your estimate sounds high to me. Was that from CJ? Stanwal may be right. But then again, if you like the sound you have, why change. What if you buy a newer model and don't like it, or it breaks down?For instance, I have a 1970 BMW. I liked it whe... 
90db, 7ohm speakers: tube amp recommendations?
My speakers are 91db and 6 ohm+. I'm also trying to decide if something with 32W like a VAC 30/30 would provide enough drive. I'm currently using a VAC PA100 which I prefer over the Phi 110. PA100 amps can be found under 2 grand. Other contenders ... 
If you could do a blind shootout...
Why would you want to do that? Unless of course. you just wanted to know the best speaker for that room, in that exact spot, with a particular amp and cables, on that particular day/night and with only a couple of audiophile tracks. Audition promi... 
No output on New LS26
The old adage "if it works out of the box, it isn't Hi End" has always lead me to make the dealer take the new product out of the box and hook the unit up at his facility to ensure it works before I take it home. I've had experiences like yours be... 
New vs. old DACs - opinions?
DAC, after the D comes the A and C which is the analog signal coming out. Just because the digital part has the latest and greatest chip set doesn't mean the analog part of the signal is anything special. You still need a quality analog output sta... 
which turntable for classic rock/jazz
Avid and Clearaudio are at my local dealer. I read the setup instructions for the Galibier and the tape drive installation and tensioning seemed tweaky. Perhaps, it is not anything difficult, just seems that way.I would rather stay under 3000.00 b... 
Does anyone or does everyone pay retail price?
A lot has to do with the price point of the product along with availability, and how desireable it is to own. A new Krell amp is not likely to be discounted while a new Cambridge amp may carry an expectation of a discounted price.I doubt any Ferra... 
Does anyone or does everyone pay retail price?
I paid retail for my ESP Bodhran SE speakers plus freight. They were custom built with my requested finish. So, it would be unlikely to receive a discount on a rare product custom built to your order. If I ever sell them, the next buyer will be ge...
