Von Schweikert VR4JR and SET Amp
Unless you bi-amp. Using the SET amp for the midrange and highs and another SS amp for the bass 
Benchmark DAC-1 on a Sony DVP S9000ES??
Bigkidz can you direct me to some info on the Chord 64. I've never heard of it? I googled it and didn't see anything about a DAC 
Anyone using their Jolida JD 100 as a transport?
I'd sell the Jolida since it's something that will always have a buyer used and you could get decent money for it. What makes it good is it's output stage, so using it as a transport seems like a waste. 
What is a "SHOTGUN" speaker cable??
No thanks distortion. I couldn't take the recoil of 2 barrels. I'm getting old LOL 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
I agree with jcruse. You won't be disappointed with either speaker. Since you made your choice - don't drive yourself crazy wondering, just enjoy the Gallo’s. I think they are both in the accurate uncolored camp. As to which is more accurate – who... 
Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub?
Buy a table (with four legs, I know obvious) that will go on top of your subwoofer (and around it), then put it on top of that. It won't touch your subwoofer and until you get a rack to put it on, you'll be better off than having it on a sub. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Art, I have the Shure e3, and an MP3 player (not apple). It isn't powerful enough to drive the e3s. Does the ipod have more power without using an amp because I do like the sound of the Shures

What is a "SHOTGUN" speaker cable??
When I look at a shotgun (the kind police carry), I notice they have 1 barrel. I try not to look down it ;)

At this point, I don't think anyone is taking things too seriously.

I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck
Congratulations! You are right - when I got my VPI, I stopped listening to CDs, it wasn't worth the time. I listen to them now. The Music hall is something you will enjoy, no doubt. You got a good deal too. 
Need help putting together a bedroom system
Just mimick Stevecham's system. I know the CD player and integrated go together like a dream for budget prices. The rest of the stuff I'll trust him on. 
I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck
I've also had the MMF7 and I have the VPI Scout now. I've used it with the Dyna 10x and now have the Dyna 17d2mkII. The MMF7 is a great TT for the money, and worth it. The VPI is better IMHO. If you can find a clear (plastic or glass) cover to put...
