Just what kind of preamplifier section does an integrated amp have?
Thanks for your response paraneer I was just wondering about the sonic quality of the preamp section of integrated amps. 
Replacing the speakers link with silver wire
Thank you Alberporter, but no thank you! For I am living overseas. But as you said iit´s not big deal trying! Thanks. 
Replacing the speakers link with silver wire
No. My speakers cables are not made of silver, but I was wondering if there is some advantage in using a piece of silver cable instead of the link, which is made of some cheap material such as bronze. 
Velodyne studio monitors??
Thanks pbnaudio! The monitor I am referring to are at most 2-3 years old, and their shape es trapezoidal like the 901 series from Bose. 
Velodyne studio monitors??
Well I knew they were rare! The seller said he bought them from a recording studio in Oakland, CA. and that they were made by Velodyne  kind of an special order!? Can anyone chip in? 
The next best Tweak ???
Well I tried the tweek with 10000 uF at 25V. This tweek just works very well and I wonder if someone can shed the details about how it woks. 
Expensive cables/connector and solder
Thank you for your responses! I still think that the solder acts as a "bottleneck" as current flows throught the cable, i.e. the copper cables have a conductivity of a 100 and the solder of the order of 40 depending on its composition. In other wo...

How do vibrations affect the equipment?
Thank you all for your responses! I still do not grasp how vibrations can affect a SS amplifier (no problema with a tube amp)or rca cables or spk cables or a dac, etc. Can someone explain the physics of this phenomenum? 
Left Speaker is Magnificent.
Try reversing the speakers cable leads just on the "bad" speaker maybe is out of phase. 
I rolled tubes and I got hum
Well the new tubes have been playing for 7 hours and one channel lower the hum considerably. I hope as time goes by the tubes will stop making noise. 
Does anyone own the Bel Canto SET 40?
I been listening to my Bel canto SETi 40 for 4 years with Shuguang 845B tubes and Telefunkens 12AX7 medical grade with very good results! Silky mids, punchy yet controlled bass and highs very well defined. I like a lot. Never had a problem. Good r... 
Benchmar DAC-1 as pre vs Bottlehead Foreplay II
Thank you all for your respones. As I understand the pre section of the Benchmark is inferior to the Foreplay II. Am I correct? 
Benchark dac1 output as pre high enough?
Thank you all for your responses! I guess using the dac1 volume pot at about 12:00 to 1:00 is perfectly normal (for a normal listening level). 
How long daes it take your gear to warm up?
Rok2id yes it does travel at approx light speed, but it does not mean that the equipment is performing at its best! Like I said in regard of my Rotels Ra-1090 without a couple of hours of warm up time the highs are ear piercing and the bass notes ...
