What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
Check out Linear Tube Audio,Decware,and Aric Audio.Each of those small companies offer excellent products.At present  I have a LTA microZ2 and it presents a wide and deep soundstage.

+1 for treating the room  
Can we hear from those who essentially repurchased previous system?
I used to have that same Technics turntable,mated with a little Pioneer receiver and off-brand speakers(paralex).I recently bought the receiver again and am planning on finding the turntable but probably different vintage speakers to put in a gues... 
Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions
Grannyring on this site makes them and has an ad here. I think it's called BBQ Audio. 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?

Brief Review: JW Audio Cryo Nova Speaker Cables
That's great!I recently switched out an ic for the same reason - couple of new components.So glad I kept them now.Gotta love freebies:) 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
Many many rock songs are reworked blues classics.It's nothing new.I also common for  musicians to sneak in riffs and sections from other songs to amuse themselves and other musicians.Musician geeky fun:) 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
They've played in clubs around here(4 or 5 yrs ) and used to do a LZ set.They were pretty upfront about being heavily influenced by them at the time.I think they're very talented but unimaginative.There's only one LZ.I think of them as a way overd... 
My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables.
Cables definitely make a difference.They don't have to cost $$$ either.Different types of metal,geometries,connectors,and our old friends resistance,capacitance,and induction react uniquely with our components.The only way to know is to try. 
PrimaLuna Prologue one speaker match
Lol!My brother has some older Cornwall lls and has placed a concrete gargoyle on top of each. 
My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables.
At least they don't sound worse,which is great:)You got the length you wanted and solid connectivity.I'm mulling over trying new speaker cables myself,upgradeitis probably:)I like the Clear Days I have now buuuut can I do better......Thanks for po... 
Sound and vibration control
My theory is that changing the vibration/resonance with various feet and platforms will result in a change in sound.The floor would resonate at a different frequency. 
GIK FreeStand Acoustic Panels and flatscreen
I've been experimenting with room treatments also.My problem is two large windows.I've been mulling over going with GIK products if my homemade results are ineffective or just too ugly:)That's my winter project. 
Speaker plinth material bottom ported Zu Omen Defs
A wooden plinth will wick up moisture and could cause condensation on the bottom of your speakers.Another thing to investigate would be a paint on exterior waterproofing product for the speaker bottoms. 
What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
If you want to experiment with tube components investigate tubed preamps.A smooth,warm sounding preamp such as Conrad Johnson units for example might add just enough sweetness to tame that brightness.Then experiment with various tubes until you ge...
