Replacement bookshelf speakers for B&W Nautilus803
If you don't mind a metal tweeter, I really like what Monitor Audio has to offer. I've owned both brands and like MA much better. Even the cheaper ones. 
Which? Muse model 100 amp or Acurus DIA100 integrated?
Also, keep in mind that the whole point of using the Theta's volume control is to eliminate the need for a line stage. Even though most would agree that the Muse is the better sounding of the 2 amps, not running the signal through the line stage o... 
Michell Orbe in Florida needs repair/update
Hollywood Sound in Hollywood FL. He pretty much just does TT's and is a Michelle dealer. I know its a bit of a drive, but that's your best, and maybe your only option. If you know what you need, maybe you can call ahead and make an appointment to ... 
Which? Muse model 100 amp or Acurus DIA100 integrated?
For me personally, I would go with the Muse. But that doesn't mean you would prefer the same thing I do.

That should work fine. I had my VT-100 on my SL-3's and had no problems. The model you have is easier to drive. Actually, I saw a couple of VT-100 listed here in good shape, at reasonable prices. You would probably be happy with the combo. 
Genesis Time Lens
Cerrot,Don't take this the wrong way, but people like you always want everything both ways. You have a problem with Steve for discussing and recommending his products when he feels the discussion warrants it. This is something Audiogon allows, so ...

"02-27-15: DwellerI'm pretty sure Wireworld uses rectangular solid-core conductors in its ICs and Speaker cables."You're thinking of Tara. RSC is they're design. 
Would Oppo 105D be good for "recording" process?
You can rip these type of formats also. I've never had an interest in doing this myself, so I can't claim to have experience with the process, and what the results will be. I suspect they would be similar to ripping a CD. If you want to get starte...

too much acoustic treatment suck mids, shrill highs
Zephyr24069,Thanks. But I wouldn't say it was brilliant. Its just a quick way to eliminate some possibilities as to what could be causing the problem. 
Theta Miles owners: Using preamp or direct?
"I have about $550 max to spend on a power source"I would just buy a poweramp and use the volume on the Theta. For $550, I don't think you'll find something that sounds better. 
Mr. Spock RIP
"Made me think of my late friend Brooks Berdan, legendary So. California audio retailer"I didn't know that. He was one of the best TT specialists in the country. Maybe even the best. 
mMarantz 2325 help
"I know i need a MM cartridge for use with this unit's phono section" You can use a high output MC as well. I would also consider getting a current production, entry level phono stage. Given the age of your amp, it will probably sound a lot better...
