Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
I remember Ohm A's and F's.....didn't have a wallet fat enough, but absolutely loved them both...I think I heard them with Phase Linear amps   
All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong
When were Infinity Servo-Static 1A around?  Tannoy?  (those were my favorites)  
The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore
....All the more that I miss the real thing  
Thiel Owners
I had a 3.6 .  Although they were voiced differently than Vandersteen offerings, what they did have and what I respond to is phase coherency.  
The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore
nope....not nearly as good as live music or music through a very high end stereo.  It's better with hearing aids, but "fake".  Its a great loss to anyone who appreciates what a real violin really sounds like in real space.  
Five feet from the front wall
also check toe and tilt....very important with my speakers  
What record weight for Rega RP10
I had a LinnSondek that really opened up when used on a balsa shelf that I knocked together with a couple of small brads  
Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K
see if used Ayre preamps are doable for you....wonderful components  
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
like buying a bridge in Brooklyn  
What record weight for Rega RP10
It's a matter of design.....my Linn sounded much better on a lightweight thin wood shelf I put together with brads, than anything "audiophile approved" I tried.  
What record weight for Rega RP10
I wouldn't use a record weight on an RP10  
Best set-up under $20K
I had an 802....quickly tired of them  
Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity
I had an LPS... wonderful music  
Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
Consider used Ayre....I have a K5xemp,,,,,love it...nothing ever went wrong. Great open 3D sound.  
RCA versus XLR interconnects
all my electronics are Ayre....differentially balanced...hace all xlr cables including phono input....dead quiet even at full volume.
