Fix it or not, my CJ Premier 11a Amp?
I recently had my CJ amp repaired at their factory.  It took 2 days for UPS to deliver to CJ, a day for them to repair it and 2 days to get it back.  It works perfectly and cost me less than 150.00 for the repair.  I see no problems with their ser... 
attn vandersteen dealers upgrade my 1ci to 3(latest)
I concur with Johnny R.  He is truly one of the good guys in audio and he probably knows as much about Vandersteen as the man himself.  
What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ?
My biggest gripe is  the system is in our living room and it shares a TV, lots of furniture and a wife who watches a lot of TV.  Get the picture?

Amp upgrade advice

Advice for a Tube Amp, TT setup only
I would look for a used Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated here and also a  used Rega Planar 3 turntable. 
Loud fizz with brand new Parasound Halo Integrated amplifier
When I had my Parasound Halo, it came with USB drivers for my  windows based computer.  Never ever had a problem. 
Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next
Nothing will give you a bigger difference than changing the speakers.  You get the most bang for your buck that way,  Replacing an amp will make a very small difference compared to changing speakers.  I would explore that aspect. I had Vandersteen... 
Michael Fremer's system
" I would expect him to have all Ypsilon electronics, I don't know why he didn't do it."He has very expensive equipment.  The Dartzeel is not cheap by any means and the Ypsilon are probably twice the price.  I am sure money came into play as to wh...

I am in the camp that any power cord over 500.00 isn't worth it. 
Krell KSA 200S Owners
Have you considered that the amp consumes a lot of amperage and that your electrical circuit may not be able to handle it? That may account for the fluctuating light on the amp. 
Vpi Prime Scout (New) vs Well Tempered
I have had 3 VPI tables and currently have a Prime.  I had an original Scout and the new Scout Prime is a huge upgrade.  The VPI tables are reliable, heavy and sound excellent on all types of music.  I will admit I am not a fan of a turntable whos... 
Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge)
Forgot to mention, The Music Room bought out all the rest of PS Audios PWT transports and is selling them dirt cheap.  They have been totally refurbished from PS Audio come with all new accessories and a 1 year warranty.  I believe the prices are ... 
Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge)
I had a CXC transport for a few months and never had a problem with it.  It never skipped or mistracked, even on some badly scratched cd's and the transport was dead silent.  I only sold it because my McIntosh integrated didn't have a built in dac...
