Vandersteen 2wq x-over help
Don't you want the input impedance not the output? 
Dumb question? WHAT IS YOUR SEAT/ CHAIR?
I would be worrying about the reflections of the chairs "wings" first then the lack of the side and back wall reflections for ambience. I think the "wings" are going to make the sound seem to beam from the speakers accentuating the highs and the m...

In So Cal where the humidity can be on the low side I find it necessary!!! 
koetsu rosewood signature vs. Blue urushi
You have a great system!!!What happened to the Vermillion? Are you wanting to change to .4mV output? I loved my Urushi Black..........until I heard the PC-1 in my system, now I don't think I can go back!!!! I was going to re-tip the Urushi and pos...

VPI 16.5 clamp
WilsonMake sure the flat surface of the clamp is up this should solve the problem. When the other side is up the clamp doesn't hold some records tight.

Cart recommendation for a Joule Electra OPS2 Phono
I checked and the jumpers are in so 36db of gain it is. I also ran the Urushi at 36db and thought there was enough gain for most volumes I was listening to at that time. I listen louder now but with the .6mV cart there's more than enough gain. 
Cart recommendation for a Joule Electra OPS2 Phono
I've run a Koetsu Urushi Black .4mV with the LAP-150 MKll and at the time, about 3 mo ago, didn't think there was a problem. I currently use a .6mV cart and like the OPS on low gain, 36db. I'll check gain setting to be sure, I do have the S/C reve... 
Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good?
I think CJ supplied the ACT 2 with the orange dampers on the 6H30's. Try the Reflector 6H30p DR a more extended, fuller more dynamic tube when I used them in the ACT 2, not cheap but worth it. If you don't like them resale is fairly easy without a...
