VTL repair success
Thank you for the info, as you found VTL is not the easiest to deal with on your older gear even if you had purchased it new, much less buying in the used market. Really great amps though. Enjoy the music 
1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim?
I don't think analytical and Audeze LCD2s would ever be used in the same sentence unless there was a not in there somewhere. 
The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward...
The Times they are ah changing. I see no reason not to support an online tradeshow of this nature. Did or is this displacing a known audio show?

The musical presentation.

If by chance the Audeze LCD2s are a little to much for you presentation wise just look at the Hifiman Edition Xv2s and forget about it. The Edition Xv2s retail for $1,300.00 but can be had new below $1,000.00. And as always, enjoy the music

Do not overlook the Audeze LCD2 Fazors. Enjoy the music 
Blue Dragon and Moon
@pauly That's alright, as I am very proud of it. Enjoy the music 
What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable?
Set it level and then adjust by ear to achieve the final setting. 
The value of embellishment?
@testpilot ,"No need to overthink it." Is this remark intended for VPI? 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
B&K ST140 power amps, Audible Illusions Modulas 3A and B, Shelter 901 series1, Large Advents, Theta DS Pro Prime dac and the Arci Lead Balloon turntable stand, to name a few. Enjoy the music 
The value of embellishment?
Had to scratch my head while reading that ad myself, also use a VPI and love it for what it is, but really. Guess they had to come up with something for the twice priced alternative. Enjoy the music 
Contact Dennis Had?
You might even ring the bell at Moon Audio, whom he has a working relationship with building the Inspire/Dragon headphone amp for. 
Auditioning headphones (ethically)?
Please do not underestimate how differently headphones sound with different headphone amps in play, the set favored with one amp might be the loser with another amp. Enjoy the music 
Cullen Cable
The two times I did business with Cullen Cable they were very quick to respond and supply the order, that was before the pandemic though. Hope all is well with them. 
Balls.....
He is referring to Steve at VAS, he also does business through ebay  as VAS, he retips, rebuilds and builds cartridges as well as the bearing replacements. I have used him a few times and am very satisfied with his work. Enjoy the music
