Which stereo amp to try under $30k
Ayre and Audio Research were my favorite amps.  I recently heard of poor customer service from AR.....which leaves Ayre ...which has marvelous customer service. 
I give up ..acoustic treatment for room with vinyl plank flooring
No George.....not that way 
Diagnosing a spitting/popping channel- need some help!
Tap on each tube with the  end of a pencil....if you get the pop, clean the pins of the tube

Calling on Vandersteen 5a owners

Calling on Vandersteen 5a owners
I have 5As in the Kowazinga finish.  I had a pro refinisher at my house to repair some furniture scratches...he commented the finish on my 5As are fabulous. 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
I have an all Ayre system that  is differentially balanced...phono to pre, pre to amp, cd to preamp.  I use Doug's  cable type made by Audio Sensibilities.   Better sound than my high priced silver. 
VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms
With that second pivot...   screw the side weights all the way in...the arm will lightly rest on the second pivot....adjust the second pivot screw to adjust azimuth.  Very easy to do and very rewarding.  It cost 150 dollars and makes the arm much ... 
Power Conditioner, which of these 4 and why?
I tried many and found warts in all.  Try them in your own system

Scott...don't you have batteries in the silver box where you change the input values? 
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?
I have an Ayre C5xemp.. and vinyl....they sound different but both are enjoyable 
Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button?
I agree.  Wireworld was good in my system as well.....however all wire sounds different in different  systems.   Try them all and keep the keeper

You probably do have the wrong values...also, when were the batteries changed? 
Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
Everything  matters in this hobby.  Sure ceramic footers are fine, but brass works better in MY system.  ...what ever sounds best to you is the proper answer. 
What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth?
For those who are using a mirror make sure you have one that is slivered on the same surface as you rest the stylus, or you will set it wrong.  ( you can get the proper mirror from a camera repair)
