VTL ST-150 vs ARC VS110
I have a VTLSt-150 and it is a great piece it has a lot of power. I also own a ARC VT60 SE which drives Proac tabuletes, Which edges out the vtl in detail and sweetness. But the VTL's Much higher output does a good job driving my Aerial 10T's. I a... 
The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD
Should mean that it sounds good and you forget about the wires, the cables, the amps and just hear the music. I have found that if we do our job as audiophiles, when the Lp plays or cd plays you just hear music, maybe you pick up the remote and si...

HELP Please what`s going on with this CARTRIDGE
I had the same problem on my Linn with a Grado , and switched to a Shure V15VXMR and all is well but consult your tonearm manufacturer to find out what type of cartridge works best. 
Found Monster cables inside my Watt Puppy 5.1's
The risk return ratio in out of wack here. I would not try to save a few hundrend bucks on a $ 10,000.00 used piece of gear. You would be better off sending the speakers to wilson to get the woofers fixed and see that no other 'tweeks" were done t...

Fleetwood Mac - Say You Will- Your Thoughts?
It has renewed my interest in the band. I overlooked tusk when it was released and now find its truly an awesome piece of the bands work, beautifully recorded too. I think the new album is OK and has a few good tracks , but Tusk and some of the ol...

The monster biamped systems I have seen actually went tubes on both . But tube and SS on bottom would also work great ! 
Rattle from Ceramic art pieces
The cheap stuff works fine. There is a yellow one I think most Ace hardware stores carry it. Kmart too! 
Do all 6550 based tube amps sound the same?
Most amps sound different. Though it is subtle in similar dedigned tube amps with same tubes. I own an arc with 6550's and the P12's which have Kt-90s they both sound great. I would say that the CJ is a little more romantic, its hard to explain. W... 
driver moving too much
I had the same problem with my Linn LP-12 Grado combination. If it is not a feedback issue, it can be as in my case a compliance mismatch with the tonearm and cartridge. I put on a new Shure V15vxmr and its 95% better!I have an article written by ...

They are an excellent speakers and prefer fine electronics. I would reccomend tubes to tame the sometimes agressive highs when borderline source material is used. With clean source material they can be magical.
