Zu Druid and Shindo?
Should be a great pairing. Though I'd agree with Sibelius that it might not be the speaker to amp budgetary balance that I'd necessarily choose.

I agree with Unsound 
'Time Out' Classic Records vs. Acoustic Sounds
Syntax, I gotta disagree. Audiogon just isn't a comprehensive forum for reviews of pressings, remasterings, etc. Like any forum, you need to pay attention to who is saying what. But there are many more experts on masterings over there. Including S... 
Are two smaller subs better than one larger?
I will give this a "maybe" in response. Here is why one might be better than 2 (since the very valid reasons 2 might be better than 1 have been laid out above, in particular the emergence of stereo effects at 80Hz or so, and the potential of 2 sub... 
Why aren't current country albums on vinyl
For country lovers looking for good recently relased country (done in a fairly old school style), check out Kort's album. A beauty and pressed on great sounding vinyl (my copy at least).

I'd check over at SH Forum. That's the best online resource for impressions of different pressing, remasterings, etc. 
Albert Von Schweikert VR-4
Just got a pair of VR-4 Gen IIs and am loving them as well. Not fully appreciating how heavy each individual speaker was I arragnged an in home trial period (being worried about how they'd fare in a 13x15 room along the long wall). Even in a less ... 
New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?
Bigrod62563,Have you tired calling Vinyl Flat about this? I spoke with then when I had some questions about their products. They should be able to help. One thing that is clear when using the oven is that you need to be certain that the temperatur... 
Switching/converting volt Grant Fidelity Rita880
Why not email or call Grant Fidelity? I am always puzzled why questions like this are asked here instead of contacting the retailer or manfacturer. 
Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer?
Tbg, A cueing lever is now an option for all the current Well Tempered TTs. A nice addition. 
VPI Service - I'm impressed
Agreed about VPI service. Bought a used HW-16 on eBay, and turned out the turntable motor was fried. VPI and Music Direct here in Chicago (the local authorized repair place) were both super helpful in getting me a new motor ASAP, and troubleshooti...
