Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Finding offense at the killing of a pet because it damaged your speakers doesnt constitute strong moral judgment, just basic humanity. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Cats are like children, you never know what your going to get, but for the most part, I have been lucky over the years and havent had much destroyed.As for killing a cat because it damaged speakers, theres a special place in hell for people like t... 
to upgrade or not, that is the question
Find yourself a used Nakamichi tx1000 which self centers a record if out of center wow is a problem. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
My cats (5 in the house now) have never destroyed any stereo equipment, but I do admit that one does like to sleep on the turntable cover.However, I had a Golden Retriever that once ate both cones out of both subwoofers during the day. Then, after... 
upgrading speaker crossovers
If there is a discount to be had by ordering more, I would be willing to join you in purchasing the caps for my Golds. I assume they are the same as the Goldi as only the cabinets and port were changed.

Prior or current owners of PSB Stratus Gold
Trelja,I have heard that the Golds respond to different amplifiers. Is it a question of power, current, solid state or tubes.Has anyone tried bi-amping with solid state bass and tube mid/treble?They really are a nice sounding speaker all round. I ... 
Restoring a Transrotor Skeleton...help
I believe the founder of Transrotor worked for an designed some of the Transcriptor tables, then had a falling out and started his own company. 
Is it worth repairing or re-tipping?
The soundsmith repairs are well done and worth the money for a decent cartridge. I have had 5 redone with great resuts. But I dont know that a blue point is worth the money. 
Do you ground your bearing?
Oracles come with a ground and I always hook it up. 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
