So what's a good preamp?
Kbuzz,I agree. That is a really nice offer.

I had the 10x5 myself and Larry sold me the DV20 (low output version) with a DV P75. Incredible value for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Its a combo that I know he likes very much and recommends to a lot of his customers. I just t... 
which floor speaker up to 1500.00
Vapor1,Your last post does put your other comments in much better context. In all fairness, I don't think anyone could put all that together without you telling us. That's why when I first read it I thought it was a bunch of BS from someone who ge...

I wouldn't be so fast to get rid of it, even if you aren't using it. Good transports are hard to come by these days. 
Replacing my Martin Logan SL3 speakers.
I had the SL3's and liked them very much. A step up from there would be either a pair of Vandersteen 2's or 3's. They are just as coherent as your panels but offer more resolution and body. I highly recommend you listen to them first, though. They...

Does it have the stable platter transport? 
ARC VS55, CJ PV10/ARC Sp-14, Naim 3.5, Vandy 1C
I can give you some ideas, but I need some info first. Have you set the back tilt on your speakers using the formula in the manual? After doing that, look on the back of your speakers and make sure the high's and mid's adjustments are set to flat ... 
anyone use 2 Vandersteen subs??
I was going to recommend a 2nd sub myself. Once again, though, Audioconnection beat me to it.

"Ditto Hollywood Sound. Larry is a great guy."I agree. I've bought some stuff from him, as well. If you're into vinyl, you definitely want go there, as well. Also, its pretty close to my first recommendation, Audio Center.Since you're in the car a... 
which floor speaker up to 1500.00
Vapor1,"The 1C isn't exactly a great example of quality components and contruction in a floorstander for under $2k. Retail price for all the drivers and crossover components used would be under $200, and the cabinet certainly isn't resonance free.... 
So what's a good preamp?
Since you listen to vinyl only, I assume you have an active phono stage. You may want to consider upgrading that instead. I say this because you know the value of a passive line stage. $1500 is a hard price point to work with, even for a used acti... 
Is this the 2013 NYC Hi-Fi show
Its probably in one of the buildings.

Audio Center in Deerfield Beach is really good. I've bought some equipment there myself. Its a few miles north of Miami. If you look on a map, its very close to where I75 ends on the east coast. 
which floor speaker up to 1500.00
I've owned the 1C's myself and that would be my first choice, as well, given your price range. The only thing I will add is that they are very easy speakers to drive. I don't find Vandersteen's difficult to drive myself, but starting with the 2, t... 
Power cable for 5 watt SET amp?
When it comes to power products, you really need to try them in your own system. Results vary greatly and for different reasons. If you call The Cable Company, they'll send you a few to demo in your own system. I would recommend listening to Richa...
