TTWeights closing their doors
This is another story of why I will only buy from strong companies.  I've been burned too many times with manufacturers that go out of business leaving their customers to fend for themselves.  Even before I listen/look at/consider a new addition, ...

Positioning Of Vienna Acoustics The Kiss Loudspeakers
Hi Mikey.....  If you go to Vandersteen.com, and look at their top of the line speakers' instruction manuals, they have a good set of instructions.....Cardas I believe has one too.   Some recommendations I have that helped me.  If you have a reson... 
Power conditioner help
Inna....I've never had any success with power conditioners....yes, they all change the sound of the system, but all of them (and I tried many) created warts I wasn't prepared to live with.  You will never know what one of these things do unless yo... 
VPI Avenger
What a load of garbage.....the printed arm is one of the top arms made.  I have one and love it....no complaints at all.   
Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?
Power cords made the biggest difference in my system....more than interconnect, speaker cables.

Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set

VPI SDS/ADS PSU with Rega Turntable?
I'd look at the Phoenix products as well.   Get in touch with their support guy and get his/her view on your intentions.  If you're thinking of a new turntable, take a look at VPI offerings. 
Turntable sibilance
Here's another thought.....your new speakers may very well have a brighter/more extended treble response than did your previous ones.  If the sibilance you're hearing is not mistraking (a breaking up kind of distortion) it could be that you're jus... 
Turntable distorition
I would say to send it back to Audio Advisor and let them fix it properly.  Clearly they didn't.  I would even ask for a return UPS label for them to pay for it...they pay way less than you would.  If you take lots of close pictures of the table p...
