SignalScope FFT Analyzer for Setting Azimuth
Great success with Fozgometer 
Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts?
Vandersteen amps are water cooled 
What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?
Its the Iatola Symphony #5 
Turntable cover
I too recommend it off.....use a Swiffer to keep it clean, but be very careful near the cartridge. 
Strange turntable/speaker issue
just for the halibut, get cones (I found brass to be best, but more expensive)...put three under your table...not on its feet, but on the base itself....point side down. 
Spectral amp/preamp
I have all my components  from the same manufacturer.  Too often, this and that doesn't work well together, even though they could work wonderfully in a different system. 
Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps

Recordings by Elton John, Nirvana and Thousands More Lost in Fire
Times is good to line bird cages.....if news and intelligent commentary is what you want get the Wall St. Journal

Class A Solid State Sound
When i was amp shopping, I listened to lots of the discussed amps and walked away with Ayre.  Class A to about 50 watts...no correction feedback at all, etc. 
Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks...
If you do decide on the 5A's touch base with Richard and have him help you with properly setting them up.  You'll love them even if not set up properly, but set up correctly really improves things. Make sure the speakers include the high pass filt... 
It is balanced or not?
I just checked....it is differentially balanced according to their site...(but are your amps) 
Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them?
KeithTexas .....I did the same with Accrolink, but used top Furutech cables.  would be interesting to hear the difference. 
Magnepan for Background Listening
That's the point....they are too good for casual listening...they deserve your attention. 
Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible?
You're better off with a better stereo amp than lesser monoblox
