Question for Capitole Mark II SE owners
There was a guy that was taking the ASL Hurricanes amplifiers and re-soldering them using good silver solder. His charge was the retail cost of the amps. Not a good value. I wouldn't thing it would be worth it in this case either. Lots of circuit ... 
Triode conversion for VTL Renaissance 80 monos
That might void the warrantee. 
what speakers to purchase
Be careful of speakers with large woofers that proclaim to go low in the bass. With hardwood floors they will probably couple with it to ruin the sound. British speakers might be good. 
After some upgrades, where is the weak link
What kind of question is that? The question is what do you think the weak link is. Lack of imaging, sound stage, depth of image, does the system sound harsh, not involving enough, the tonal quality is not quite right, instruments don't sound like ... 
Damaged Dynavector 20XL
Dynavector does have a trade in policy. You give your cartridge back to your dealer and he sells you a new one at a spiffy discount. My advice however would be, while you are at it, upgrade to the Karate. Not much more money but you will love the ... 
Entry Level Cables
I think people deserve to know every time I post a response to a thread that I am a dealer and not just threads where I make mention of a product that I carry. I could very well have a used piece of gear advertised here and then go on threads and ... 
Entry Level Cables
I can say honestly I have never had anyone contact me based on a thread that I left on Audiogon, let alone purchase anything from me based on a thread. Meaning I have never benefited financially from these threads. I have no financial interest. Be... 
Wilson Benesch Torus and Thiel SS2 subwoofers
MilimetrTry placing the Torus directly in between the two main speakers. I know this is a bit of a shocker but in that location you will actually improve the sound stage, imaging and sense of air. It works almost like a center fill loudspeaker. 
Entry Level Cables
SfarThat is exactly my point, and I totally agree. On every thread I have on this website my moniker clearly identifies me as a dealer. I don't go into stealth mode, ever. 
Entry Level Cables
AudiofeilIt should be clear to everyone that Sounds_Real_Audio is a dealer. Is there anyone on this thread that doesn't know that? 
Entry Level Cables
You might take a look at the Kubala Sosna entry level cables. The nice thing is you can upgrade down the road and they will give you about 90% of the purchase price. Check for a dealer near you. 
Wilson Benesch Torus and Thiel SS2 subwoofers
MilimetrYour comments"Thiel sub in comparison with Torus can go audibly lower in bass, but the most important difference is that Thiel subwoofer is capable of output very resolved sound and definitely more punchy bass. Thiel bass is short, deep an...

If you can afford the Torus Infrasonic Generator buy it, I think you will find it is the best piece of audio gear that you have ever had. 
BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII
Go for the Atma-Shere M60's. No brainer.... 
Help me down grade
I agree with Jaybo. Totally. The next thing you know you will be relegated to the basement, with a single small chair positioned in the sweet spot. Bring your wife into the photo. A small room represents an excellent opportunity to bet a really ma...
