VPI connections.
I want to say that VPI has been very helpful on other occasions. Everyone has hiccups in their business...god knows I do with mine. I just want to get going on these connections. I've sold my RCA cables and need to break in new XLR cables and all ... 
VPI connections.
I have been waiting since august for a junction box. I've called and e-mailed. I would like to use my turntable before christmas, so I thought I would ask if anyone knew of a company that used the lemo connector besides VPI. Or, if I could get a l... 
VPI connections.
I imagine it is silent. That is why I want the XLR junction box. I can't get VPI to send me one so I thought I would see if anyone has used another lemo type junction box from another manufacturer.

Tubes Through Solid State
In response to Dan_ed...I am happy. I am back to vinyl after many years of chasing the digits. I just know there is always more and that is why I love this hobby. I have had Pass pre-amps...not the phono. The Pass pre-amps are excellent, but I don... 
aesthetix IO owners: How long do your tubes last?
Very helpful responses. Thank-you. I heard of tubes lasting in phono stages for 4-6 months and that freaked me a bit. I had heard phonos were hard on tubes. I guess it must vary quite a lot by design. thank-you all for sharing your experiences.

Tubes Through Solid State
Thank-you all for your responses. I just didn't want to pay for tubes in the front end only to find that those tube qualities I am after don't survive the the solid state translation. Thanks again.

Coincident Total Eclipse - replace with what?
Thank-you both.I had a feeling that may be the case. I think I'll fold and get out off the merry go round for a while. I bought the TE's used off of reviews (never heard them) and got lucky. I'll just shut up and play the music..Thanks again.Sean 
Excessive woofer movement with a VPI JMW 9 ?
Thanks guys. I had a local guy (Morgan Sound, seattle...really great techs by the way...) build a 20 and below filter for my sub, which is where i had the problem.It worked great. Thanks again. sm2727 
You know you're an audiophile if--
One of your toilets has a turntable on it (over slabs of concrete and maple of course) so as to isolate it. You've drilled holes in your wall so you could have the shortest interconnect run...and you don't care what female guests think of it..... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
