I want more from my Rega P5
The Shelter 301/501 will mate better with the P-75.Use the "enhanced " with these cartridges.The upgrades on the Rega will also help,along with proper footers under the table. 
Have you seen the VR9SE Review?
Rx8man, I have heard the VR-5SE and VR7 sub together.Amazing! I believe VSA will offer the ribbon tweeter with the 5SE.There are numerous adjustments that can be made to the system-hope someone has a good frame of reference. 
Bluenote Stibbert mkII versus Gamut Cd-1
Taters, There are some great mods for the CD-1.Contact Lloyd Walker for the silver wire and silver RCAs.The digital ribbons can be treated with a contact enhancer-makes a large difference in the sound.Male portions only,and you'll need a good magn... 
solid state power amps, golden oldies
Transistrs and IC chips can be an issue with some older gear.Do you homework before you purchase or you may be buying a boat-anchor. 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
Sorry for the delay.What I meant was that if you were using a transport/DAC,then you might employ a unit like the Z-Systems RDP-1.It is a digital parametric EQ and digital volume control.It is inserted between the transport and DAC,thus allowing t... 
Chassis mount RCA socket comparison
Contact Ron/InSound Audio:202-965-5320.He sells a very nice all silver RCA.It has replaced several "high-grade" RCAs in my system.It is a solder-less connector,which I feel is a real Plus. 
Wooden Platforms Redux
T J MAXX stocks maple platforms in various sizes.If you don't see what you are looking for,take a visit in another week.If you find the right size,give it a wrap with your knuckle.Don't want overly ringy/nor overly dead. 
Amp for Nautilus 801
Tubes are always at the top-of-my -list.The CJs should be a good choice,and are becoming more affordable. 
Amp for Virgo III's
The CJ Premier 11A sounded great with these speakers.Choose an amp with a good dynamic sound,it will mate well with the Virgos. 
Impact of Walker Audio Extreme SST
I have issues with Lloyd Walkers' instructions for use of his SST/E-SST.First,I believe that any male connector should be viewed as a "finger" and the SST/E-SST should not be applied below the "nail" portion of said "finger",as the substance tends... 
Comparison of Vintage VS new Quad II amps
To complicate this issue,I see that Quad also has the Quad II-40 with kt-88s.Jaybo-can you comment.I haven't heard the kt-66s in another unit.Can anyone comment on these two audio tubes,addressing availability,cost and sonics? 
Talon repair parts etc
The ceramic and diamond tweeters/mids etc are made by Accuton-I believe.Madisound may be able to confirm this.www,madisound.com OR 608-831-3433 
Good Preamp with Digital Input
Z-Systems RDP-1,assuming you are using a DAC. 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
Had you considered a digital EQ,to EQ the bad recordings and run bypassed on the good ones? 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
I may catch some grief for this,buttry Mapleshades' Ionoclast.I sell their gear and have demonstrated this device to many.Most don't believe it's the same disc.It takes the static bite out,and is useful on cabling too.Contact Mapleshade for the 30...
