VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh
"I do not notice any obvious difference other than the cartridge position in the headshell. Brian mounted it a little further forward." Hmm.. Do you know if your cart is in a Baerwald alignment? Using my Feikert, it does shove the cart forward com... 
Do speakers choose your music preference
My ears hear a proper speaker as  one that simply produces good music, like an amp.Genre specifc gear? Purely subjective.  
Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps?
Compare both and let your ears decide. No one here can tell you what you're going to like.Return the one you don't like. Simple.

samzx12-Do you notice the cart orientation appear much different than when you did your own setup?Is it level looking at the front? How about from the side? Tail up,level?I realize this has nothing to do with proper cart setup, just curious. 
VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh
Good to hear someone else still enjoys the now ancient VPI Classic 1. After hearing plenty of over the top setups, I came to the conclusion that my rig(Classic 1) IS good enough, once the necessary  adjustments are found.I  can't figure why some a... 
V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated
jbhiller-this is encouraging info. I'd like hear for myself how  a few cap replacements can elevate an already solid amp that so many love to bash. I like to think the PL can play with the SERIOUS boxes with the right tweaks?

Onzo Zero Dust... Deflated?
I found the Onzow a HUGE waste of money. It works, but 3MBluetack or Magic Eraser do the same thing maybe better, for less.Good move getting away from the audiophool stuff. 
FOCAL ARIA 926 vs. TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 6F using a Primaluna Dialogue Premier
"What would be the next recommend model, if I were to stay with Tannoy and keeping inline with their traditional models?" The Turnberry an Kensington are "entry" models I've heard with the PL. Seems once you're in, you don't leave and go big later... 
used speaker recommendations
"I am currently building some tube traps and acoustic panels. WAF necessitates standmounters."Yet the boss allows tube traps and panels? Huh? A nice sounding and looking floorstander can take exactly the same amount of space. 
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
"I was actually kidding about the Kenny G thing."rooze-I think most of us are in on the Kenny G goof. Especially  Jazz fans and listeners of Pat Metheny.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-mjt1ypiF8 
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
A "lowball" offer is an what the seller determines to be "lowball". I've ignored such warnings in an ad, submitted what I want to pay. The offer always includes a detailed explanation as to why I feel my offer is justified. It worked on one occasi...
