What will become of my beloved CDs?
....and life goes on.... 
Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3
Why would you not have Vandersteen speakers on your search list?  MayorWest......AQ Water XLR's are excellent cables.....however, in my experience, the differences in XLR cables are minimal (if you are using truly balanced amps) 
Just curious if anyone knows..
it's a secret guy......   
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm
Dave - the early 3D's worked with friction (as you found out)....the newer ones have the set screw again.  Harry told me to use some light oil, but I didn't tell you that because sometimes its very difficult to take the sheen of oil off the arm. 
Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures
I have an all Ayre system and WEL sigs did nothing good for my system.   It sure looks as though you need a better balanced system rather than spend on expensive cables. 
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm
Dave - the weight on all VPI 3D arms move along the back end of the arm tube.  It is very hard to adjust properly on these older arms, so VPI then included the Counterintuitive to make it easier.  I would try to rotate the counterweight without th... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
KJL1065.....I have Vanderteen 5A's and have been experimenting with many, many cables.  ClearDay Cables are to these ears are as good as the very best, most expensive Wireworld cables.  I'm using double shotgun and couldn't be more pleased.  He wi...

I had a Benz Ebony LPS on a VPI metal arm and it was wonderful......I really don't think the problem is the arm 
Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you?
I have a total Ayre system (Vandersteen speakers)  power cords DO make a difference as do speaker cables......balanced interconnects not so much. 
headphone amps
Match Ayre Codex with a top Sennheiser offering and be mesmerized. (Use the phones in balanced mode with top Cardas headphone cable.) 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
Is this similar to "Shotgun" with speaker cable?  If so, the improvement should be quite audible. 
One system, two amps...one for tv and the other for music
I don't see a problem with powering your amp seperately 
Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
Tommy .....being a pro musician, your ears are most likely shot.   Like all of us, find happiness where you can 
How many members have climate controlled listening rooms
Where's your thermostat.  In My house, there was too much variation in temp/humidity, so I got a thermostat with remote sensors that communicate on line....very much better. (Ecobee) 
Low mass 12" tonearms?
Get a suggestion from Soundsmith.  He's values his customers and knows his products. ( His stuff usually mates well with VPI - but that's only my suggestion)
