Shunyata Power cords Too Boomy and screechy?
My main system has 9 Shunyata power cords and 3 Hydra conditioners and I do not get any screeching or boomy bass. The Kimber silver streak cables are quite bright and wouldn't work in my system. 
PrimaLuna ProLogue Integrated - Help Needed
I would try a different amp to be sure it isn't the problem. The triton 2 uses a powered woofer, perhaps there is an issue with them. When I bought my Triton 1, the dealer made 3 trips to my house because one of my speakers was bad, as was the rep... 
to replace PB-8 Transparent Plus BiCable

to replace PB-8 Transparent Plus BiCable
doubtful you will hear that much of a difference if replacing them. Wouldn't waste the money. 
Woofer pumping WHY??
Get a KAB rumble filter for 189 and problem is solved. I had the same problem with my Scout turntable, I tried relocating the turntable to various locations and using all kinds of platforms under the turntable and nothing helped. Put the rumble fi... 
what do members day dream of to Pink Floyd?

SACD transport for W4S DAC2 DSD SE?
Not sure but you may want to check with them. The I squared bus (hdmi) may allow it but best to check with them. You won't get sacd via the coax or optical connection. 
KIND OF BLUE
I received my MOFI Kind of Blue SACD a couple weeks or so ago. I am very pleased with the quality and feel it was worth the 30.00. My only irritation is that the serial number is in the low 300 and this was ordered so long ago. I really thought I ... 
Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus
For 3500, the VPI Prime is hard to beat. The 3D arm is one reason it's called Prime. The VPI tables are reliable as Hell and do not need constant tweaking. They sound like music. 
Luxman Class A Integrated Slight Buzzing Noise
Perhaps the bolt that holds the power transformer in place is loose. It could be from being shipped. I would check that out as I had a Classe' amp that did that exact same thing. 
McIntosh MA5200
McIntosh uses auto transformers which makes the power output the same into 4,8 & 16 ohm speakers. 
La Scala II problem
Contact the dealer. 
Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign
The VPI is much more a set and almost forget than the Well Tempered. Other than adjusting vta on occasion, it is pretty free from maintenance. Three of my friends have switched from a Well Tempered turntable to a VPI after seeing and using my Scou...
