Klipschorn speaker set-up
To rid themselves of the hole in the middle, Klipsch made a speaker called the LaScala that was designed to be placed flat against the wall between the 2 K-horns and that ran a combined mono singnal. 
Shielded vs Unshielded Stranded vs Solid Core PC's
Actually, the wire itself is the part that least affects the sound...the connectors are the real performers. 
Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision
Either the XV-1 or Benz LP. They are both great. 
speaker cable connectors for Vandy5As/Ayre 5vxe
The 5A's have non-standard screw terminals. Make sure that Audioquest knows you are connecting 5A's. ..just as a friend, I have 5A's and am using all Ayre (K1xe, V1xe,C5xe). I agree that Audioquest is a good match... I think Anti-Cables is a bette... 
Power cords and soundstage
TVAD I am glad that Tunami works for you. We must all remember that power cords are very system dependent. I have absolutely silky smooth and realistic highs with the 046/Accrolink cord..a better match for ME in MY system than the Tunami. There ar... 
Can a Scoutmaster use the VPI Rim Drive
VPI tables with 2 motor drive will accomodate the rim drive modification. VPI is still working on the single motor adaptation...I understand it is near conclusion. The super platter does not have an effect on overhang. 
Blowing Fuses
send it back to the factory 
Ground Loop Issue 427

What connectors for DIY cable?
I used to manufacture power cords and found that solder degrades performance. I wound up using a very tight press fit, but screws are good as well. 
Upgrade time - PREAMP for SS power +CD+cables
I am partial to Ayre. They don't have either a solid state sound or a tube sound...just the right sound for me. You might be able to find a used Ayre preamp at your budget..you must remember however, that Ayre does best used balanced. Can your amp... 
Think I blew a driver on my Vandersteens 5A
I have a 5A and cannot conceive of you blowing a speaker..they are very rugged. The amp on the Vandersteen 5A only operates the woofer, and actually, it is pretty difficult to hear if that amp isn't working. The first thing to do is to change the ... 
Micro Seiki RX 5000
I suggest you pose the question to (I believe) www.Goodsoundclub.com If that doesn't work, Google "Romy the Cat". I am sure they can give you the exact answer you need. 
New McIntosh system problem... need advice
..that's why it is so important to audition the component in your system to hear if it really is an improvement. Obama won on the subject of change but never spelled out what that change would be. ..maybe good, maybe not... 
Power cords and soundstage
TVAD...As I said in my above posts...the ends make more of a difference than does the cord itself. I suspect the Gold/Bronze/Gold is a good combination...I have the 046 which uses Palladium. Give it a couple of weeks. I have remarkably wide and de...
