Best surprisingly good value component
+My Odyssey Kismet Reference Loudspeakers. Bought them here used for 1250, cost 3500 new and they were only a year old and in flawless condition. Totally transformed my system. 
How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration
I had the same problem with my VPI Scout turntable. I tried everything, then bought a KAB rumble filter. It worked like magic and did not subtract any bass from the music. There is a used one here in the classifieds for 99.00. I paid 169.00 plus s... 
Ghost in the machine?
Try cleaning the volume control on the NAD Processor. 
Help? Possible problem with my McCormack dna-125.
My guess is that you are clipping the amp and its protection circuitry shuts the amp down to prevent it from getting damaged. Is the sound ear bleeding loud when this happens? 
MIT Terminator 2 Component Interface Cables
I use them in my system. They went for 120.00 new in 1998 when they came out and usually sell used for between 50-60.00 for a 1 meter pair.

From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
I had the DeVore 8 speakers and Paradigm dsp 3100 sub set up in my living room. I was never truly satisfied with the sound, particularly on rock music. I bought the Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference Loudspeakers off a guy here on the Gon for an excel... 
sub integration merlin tsm mme
I used a Paradigm sub with DeVore Fidelity 8 speakers. I had the sub 180 degrees out of phase with the DeVores, the crossover set at 50hz and level control around 10 o clock. It blended quite seemlessly. It took me 2 solid months of fiddleing to g...

Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures
Parasound, Odyssey Audio are two products that come to mind and can be frequently found here on Audiogon. I had Vandersteen 2ce speakers for many years powered with a 175wpc Classe amp. As good as it sounded, when I replaced the Classe with an Ody...
