    That's not too difficult given that the vintage system is largely hand-me-downs from the main system. When my stats were first shipped, some idiot from the trucking company ran the fork lift directly through - not under - the crates causing damage necessitating return. During that time, I moved the Advents to the main system. While the VTL monos have far more power than the Threshold, they are a poor match to drive the Advents. Tube amps must be matched with speakers that are compatible. The other amp is an HT receiver, so regardless of its relative performance, it needs to stay in that system.

    I feel like spending a free day and just putting stuff all over the place in my setup so it looks really cluttered and messy, then snap a few photos of it and make it part of my signature so that every time people see my posts, they worship at my setup.

    Don't sweat it Pops.
    You have to consider (and ignore) the source.

    Ya good point. It's the rudeness that gets me going.

    Your system has evolved nicely over time.

    Thanks Ralph, you have been a great mentor at different junctions. I owe at least a small debt to quite a few members here.

    BTW, I will be adding an Ariston RD 11s this Thursday!!

    That will be the last addition for a while. I will need to mod the arm, and I have several tweaks and upgrades for my existing gear. JRA is holding a Marantz CDP for me, so down the line I hope to add that.

    It's possible I may give up on high end digital. I am shooting for a ProJect Carbon 9cc arm, what would I need digital for with that sucker?

    Oh noob. I have the EICO buffering the Magnavox. What a combo!! It has saved the day in my HT system. I now want to listen to music upstairs. Nadia likes it, she now gets to see me occasionaly.

    PS - this is really uncalled for. What provoked you to openly attack PC like this?
