attn vandersteen dealers upgrade my 1ci to 3(latest)
The best Vandersteen dealer there is   AudioConnection in New Jersey.  (USA)   Speak to John Rutan.  He'll send your speakers anywhere and give you HUGE advice.  Give him a call....you'll love your experience. 
Are you Sirius?
I got Sirius free with my then new Porsche - when the trial was over, I subscribed for another year.  Truth be told, FM sounds better on some stations than does Sirius.  I have a Burmeister system in the car and listen to classical music when I'm ... 
Speaker Suggestions
Anything with the Vandersteen label.  Excellent sound and buy at every price point. 
Michael Fremer's system
Reviewers are given components for little or nothing 
Looking for some recommendations about preamp options
How 'bout an Ayre K1....excellent 
THE LITTLE BLACK BOX, 399.00 ABSOLUTLY NUTS
there are those that are badmouthing the VPI uni pivot arm.   I strongly suggest you get the 2nd pivot modification.   It is a very large upgrade to the sound, and ease of azimuth adjustment.  Highly recommended. 
Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
I had a similar trouble with my 5A Vandersteens. I sent the driver to Vandersteen who said they were fine (not what you want to hear). After pulling the tweeter, et al, I sent back the crossover and amp. It seems that in pulling the crossover, I a... 
Looking to get into tubes on the cheap
You can't get tubes on the cheap.  They are inherently more expensive.  Unless you can pay the way, go solid state....better bang for the buck on sanely priced equipment. 
Confused!
Try this.....take 2 of your coats ....place one each on the floor in front of your speakers.   If you like the sound, get a couple of inexpensive rugs instead of the coats. 
Power Wedge 116
My best advice for the Power Wedge is to use it as a door stop...but get it out of your system. 
Cartridges: Complete Scam?
I agree with Randy-11 (above).  however, even though there may not be a dramatic step up, the difference may very well be appreciated in the listener.  Also, the cartridge has to be set up to its best advantage, and all the ancillary equipment mus... 
Tekton Double Impacts
anxiously awaiting your evaluation.....  try hard to be objective.   Everyone thinks what they have is the tops.   Understand that it will take a while before it sounds right....getting the room set up, etc.  I know its fun. 
Demo Windfeld Ortofon Cart at Musicdirect
I use a Winfield for my every day cartridge....it’s very good, but setup is critical. Be very precise in the azimuth adjustment....it can make or break the sound. You also should experiment with loading...(I use 1000 ohms, but you might like somet... 
Power Conditioner Advice please...
I have used PS, but go "commando" for my taste. It takes me awhile to adjust to the new sound, but once the warts are revealed, I simply can not tolerate them. Try it, but have a return option if it doesn’t please your system. Power cords do make ... 
VPI vs. SOTA
proper azimuth adjustment is even more important than proper VTA
