Violion concertos/Symphonies....part 2
..and what a nice young lady she is too!! 
Analog GURUs out there....what cartridge do I need
If you love resolution, Grado won't give it to you. They are musical, but resolving, they are not. 
Vandersteen Model 7s?
..sorry about the unclear post... 80% of performance. My 5A's are Kawazinga wood...GORGEOUS... I even commissioned an artist for a group of paintings with the grain of the speakers as the background...I probably will just upgrade the 5A (will that...

Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster
I agree with Sonofjim. The upgrade from the 9 Sig to the 10.5 is minimal. If you play with VTA, the 10.5i is very easy to adjust and then return to the original setting while a record is playing thus making it a worthwhile purchase. I have found t... 
Vandersteen Model 7s?
Sure..this was discussed on another post. Cost is about 40,000 dollars. New drivers, crossover, amp and cabinet made of carbon fiber. I was told that the drivers are also carbon fiber on balsa wood cores. 5A's will have a partial upgrade with all ...

I have heard the s/g and too thought it not my glass of orange juice. Although I couldn't say what I didn't like about it...it just didn't seem "right". I thank Rauliruegas for shedding light on the subject. 
Gallo Reference 3.1 questions...
We all have to remember that the sound is the result of the total system. If Dannyers's system has a more laid back midrange presentation now than before...he should not necessarily blame the speakers (I personally like them). Danny should have au... 
Difference from Ayre V5X and V5XE amps ?
I have a V1xe and it was worth updating. Call Ayre and speak to Michael Weidermeir. He is in charge of production and updates...one of the nicest people I've ever met. He will give you the scoop on the project.

Audiofeil...I am a professional violinist. I make a living...a good one....by knowing what to listen for.

Issue with Phono Playback.
I'm glad you listen to headphones. Actually you can get the very best state of the art sound for a few thousand dollars with headphones as opposed to many thousands of dollars for big and good amps and speakers. Check out Headphone.com for great h... 
Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster
Srwooten...don't be misled by some venom one poster has sprayed around. The VPI arm is actually very good and the 10.5i is excellent. I have heard many Triplanar, SME, and other arms that don't sound as good as my 10.5i. Who knows what the best is...

Did you do your homework and audition good speakers? 
What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster?
It is not that much of a problem to adjust the VTA on a VPI 9. You can adjust it while the record is being played if you're careful. You do know about that large knurled thumbscrew that the arm is sitting on....Sure the 10.5 is easier and has a ga...
