Pick up only? where?
The old Audiogon would let me edit my virtual system. The new and "improved" Audiogon tells me it doesn't even exist....Shakey 
My Last CD player, need ideas
You probably don't want to hear this but I see two things going on here.1) It's inevitable that you will have a server based system at some point.2) In your price range, you can get better sound for less money with a server/DAC over a cdp.That sai... 
Aronov LS9100 monos - upgrade to VTL Deluxe 300?
I have been using a VTL ST-150 with the same tubes for almost two years now without a hitch. Not to say I couldn't have issues tomorrow, but it has been very reliable.That said, it is one of the best sounding amplifiers I have owned. And there hav... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
That's a beautiful room and system Spaz. I have a hard time beliving it "stinks".....Shakey

Another suggestion. Move your listening seat forward in increments of 3-4 inches until the sound locks in. I think you are sitting too far away. Sit as close as you can until you lose the coherence of the drivers, then back up just a little. The c... 
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON
>what is up with the no email thing anyway?<Audiogon in their infinite wisdom to prevent "cheating" during the buying process.Equivalent of throwing the baby out with the bath water.....Shakey

>Given your handle is "Shakeydeal" I think we can all read into your intents. Putting together a perfect room with $300 in gear should do it right? Let's dump all of our money into room tweaks and forget about what we have hooked up, hell the r...

Spaz you are spot on. And before I get mega flamed again, it's not ONLY the room treatment that I am talking about. You have to start with a decent room. Not a closet, and not an open floor plan with 16 ft. vaulted ceilings. You only need to brows... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
"People pushing room correction devices and the like is snake oil in my opinion."Another stupid blanket statement. I do not sell or manufacture anything audio related or otherwise. I am NO fan of digital room correction, but I still stand by my st...

Von Schweikert VR-33
I owned a pair of the original VR4 Silvers back in the mid 90s. That was a great speaker and I was actually using a Music Reference RM-9 to drive them so it's no wonder you thought that amp sounded good on the VR-33s. Albert makes a good speaker a...
