VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster
After several conversations with Mehran at Sorasound, I ended up with a ZYX Airy3-X-SB. We'll see how it works out once the Scoutmaster gets here, but I'm really looking forward to being back in the analog biz.

HDMI is changing too much at the moment. The Arcam just does video. I decided to use an external switcher.

Arcam AVP700 - I love mine, along with P1000 DV79 
VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster
Thanks all. I've considered the various Shelters, Sumiko Blackbird, but wasn't too aware of the Celebration. Is it a similar cart to the Blackbird (only better)? I'm not to familiar with current generation of Denons though I had a 103D long ago. I... 
Speaker Cable for Merlin TSM-MM
I have Merlin TSM-MX's with Joule LA150, VZN-100's, and Cardas Golden Reference IC's and speaker wires. Bobby strongly recommended 3m length CGR in single wire used with his supplied Cardas jumpers. I ended up with an internal biwire 3m set that h... 
VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster
I just bought a Scoutmaster with Sig Arm upgrade, weight, ring, and VPI IC's. No SDS or HRX motor as of yet. Obviously the SDS is next, but I'm wondering how big of a change the HRX motor really is once you have all the other stuff? $1500 is a bit... 
Is parts Connexion still in business???
I bought stuff from them two weeks ago and had no problems 
Arcam AVP700
I have a DV79/AVP700/P1000 combo and am using them with Reimer Teton GS's. The analog direct mode seems to have a bit quieter background, kind of like blacker blacks on a tv. Detail is also improved as a result. I have to think it's very, very clo... 
ISOLATION: HRS,SYMPOSIUM,SRA,ZOETHECUS??
The rack and isolation platforms that Joe at Critical Mass Systems is building for me will have assuredly high WAF as well as high performance isolation. It's Santos Rosewood finish with cherry frames. ...and yes, the filters he's incorporated mak... 
wadia 861 input output disabling
I would pose that question to Steve Huntley at GNSC. If I recall, they actually remove them from the circuit or perhaps the whole IO board. As long as anything there is powered you're going to have at least some noise to deal with. 
custom built rack's.
If you're headed that direction (SRA) and that kind of $$$ you really should talk to Joe at Critical Mass Systems. He has isolation platforms that simply slide into a rack. You can kind of pay as you go as you add "shelves" if they could be called... 
replacement for paradigm studio 20 v.3?
There are definitely better speakers in the price range. I have 100 v2's in my HT. If you're not looking for more bass, they aren't really a step up from 20's in terms of mid/hi. You might take a look at either of the Merlins - TSM/VSM or maybe Od...
