Any insights on MBL 101 D Loudspeakers
IMHO, what they do well, they do VERY well. Unfortunately, the bass is seriously out of sync with the rest of the sound. Damn shame, as from the midrange on up they may be the best speakers I've ever heard. 
Favorite Movie Soundtrack
Fantasia. 
Paper Cones in HiFi?
Dunlavy used them on all his speakeres including some very expensive ones that recieved rave reviews for their accuracy. He claimed that they rang less and didn't store energy as much as more expensive, high tech alternatives. 
Pass Labs vs. Levinson Pre's
Love the convience/options of the Levinson, love the sound of the Pass. 
Integrated Amp for Vandersteens
Richard Vandersteen used to recommend the Rotels as the best/cheapest gear for his speakers. 
VAC - any comments? Good or bad.

VAC - any comments? Good or bad.
I think they are beautifull to look at. I love the fact that by all accounts they have excellent customer service. Unfortunately, in my experience they sounded like the models of everything that's reputed to be wrong with tubes. To each his own, a...

Powering Audio Physic Virgos
Balekan, as a long time Thiel owner, but never a Audio Physics Virgo owner I guess you have more experience than me. Yet, I've heard the Virgos often enough that I'm set in my ways. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. 
Single input Line-Stage Pre-amp
I've never heard one, but, the Bent products might be worth looking into. 
If you were to carry a tube product line?
Too bad Sonic Frontiers is gone. Neutral, well built,low output impedances, single ended and balanced, remote and lots of inputs and out puts. Their componenets were compatible with a lot of gear including solid state. 
I need a live great recording
I'm with Slipknot's suggestion for Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie". 
People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps
I think Allabhaganinfo, has hit it right. Based on my own limited experience, to say that just the presence of tubes/transistors can make everything right, is just as silly as saying that just the presence tubes/transistors can make everything wro...
