Price for a VSA Visiun CC
Make that $3500 to $4000, but if you can get 40k for it, good on ya! 
Price for a VSA Visiun CC
Without knowing much about it, I think I'd start between $3500 and $40500 and see what offers you get. Alternately, you could start an auction and let the chips fall where they may, but you may end up taking a bath that route. 
Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why?
I sold my Gershman Acoustics Avant Garde RX-20 because I got into tube/SET amplifiers and they were just too difficult to drive. I now own Von Schweikert dB99 speakers paired with a 2 watt Yamamoto A-08S. That amp would struggle with the Avant Gar... 
Needle drop speed on VPI scout
You could loosen the set screw and lower your cueing mechanism. It won't change the speed per se, but will reduce the distance the needle falls. I placed a stack of dimes under my cueing mechanism adding or subtracting dimes until I got to the hei... 
Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?

Vendor needed to reterminate cables
You could check with Drew at http://www.moon-audio.com/. I know he offered termination services in the past and I believe he carries Cardas banana plugs. I never did any business with him so I can't comment on his prices or the quality of work, bu... 
Phono preamp: Sutherland 20/20 or Manley Chinook?
Ha! Ask for a recommendation on two products, get recommendations for two different ones. Never heard the Sutherland. I own the Chinook, but wouldn't classify it as warm. I do find it musical and non-fatiguing though. Good luck. 
Lets talk tubes in Pharaoh Integrated
How do you like the Pharaoh? What associated gear are you using with it? Obviously it sounds like it has a bloated mid-range out of the gate. I've been thinking of simplifying my setup by getting an integrated amplifier. The Pharaoh has most my wa... 
F117 Nighthawk or Dynavector P75?
I had a Nighthawk that I used with a DV20XL. I don't recall the sound being bright or sterile at all. It was a good combo for the price. I've never heard the P75, but would assume it's a good mate as well. 
Budget LOMC preamp recommendations needed

NIN hesitation marks
Personally, I find both the current NIN and Skinny Puppy albums to be subpar compared to prior releases. I'm especially disappointed with the NIN album. Both NIN and SP put on amazing live shows though that are a sight to behold. Jorge....just in ...

Where is best to sell old Brociner tube amp?
Yeah. I'll help keep an eye out for that. What I suggest is once you find this site, if they happen to charge to list items for sale, just post in their forum looking for a recommendation of where to sell. You know, like a tacit ad without having ... 
Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy?
Ellington Hifi (http://www.ellingtonhifi.com/) in Loxley, AL carries VPI, Rega, Clearaudio, and Pro-ject turntables. It's kind of a drive from Birmingham, but you could always enjoy a vacation/trip to Gulf Shores as part of your excursion. Not sur...
