Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5
Not sure where the question about service for Von Schweikerts comes from. I have VR-4 Gen IIs and Von Schweikert still provides service for them. Von Schweikert also offers upgrades for older models that allow them to approach the performance of n... 
Graham Phantom or Morch DP6 ?
Wrm57, I'd be interested in hearing how the Graham Phantom II compares to the Triplanar arm. 
Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5
Whoa, the VR-6 is 96 dB efficient! That is impressive. Barring anything strange in the impedance plots, I imagine that it would work great with the type of amp you describe. 
Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5
No experience with Wilsons, but I have noticed that while the audio press seems to generally praise the Wilsons, many posters on audio forums seem to be less enamoured with them from show reports and dealer experiences. 
Graham Phantom or Morch DP6 ?
If you are thinking about buying the Moerch DP-6 new, why not contact Mehran at Sorasound? I believe he carries both Graham and Moerch. I didn't recommend this earlier since it isn't fair for dealers and importers to spend their valuable time with... 
New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks
Dhcod, Are these tubes KT120s? 
12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help
I agree that Digital Room Correction would be good idea in such a small space. The DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0 I just installed did wonders to the bass in my 13x15 room. As for speaker options, maybe check out the Von Schwekert VR-22, VR-33, or VR-35. ... 
What makes a good piece of audio gear ?
In order of importance: 1) Good circuit/crossover design.2) Parts choices (and spending your parts budget on the parts of the circuit where quality parts will make the most difference). I will also add that in my experience a good power supply in ... 
The best preamp for Rouge M-180
The 6moons review of the 36.5 is fairly comprehensive IIRC. While not a tip-to-tail balanced design, the Modwright LS100 might also be worth looking at. And the Wyred4Sound preamp also gets a lot of praise. I was very close to buying the W4S when ... 
New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks
As I mentioned, the bias meter on the Stereo 90 reads 5mA low. As is stated in the Stereo 90 manual. I don't know about the other Rogue models. But for the Stereo 90, when the meter reads 35mA, the actual value is 40mA. And an actual value of 40mA... 
New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks
On the issue of the recommended bias for KT120s, in the Stereo 90, the bias meters are off by 5mA (as stated in the manual), so to bias to Rogue's recommended 40mA, the meter should read 35mA. 
The best preamp for Rouge M-180
Hmmm, I have been very pleased with my Musical Fidelity kW linestage with my Rogue Stereo 90 (and with everything it has been paired with). A hybrid pre with a big meaty power supply and very very low output impedance. Not balanced though. And I s... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I'd swap 'em. More important to have left and right matched instead of top and bottom 
Looking for suggestions on a used Oppo
You likely won't be able to find a used Blu-Ray Oppo for $200. But you could get the DVD ones for that price. The DVD players are aslo very easy to make region free. 
My Dynavector DV 20 x---High or Low?
I'd try contacting Mike Pranka at Dynavector USA. He should be able to help.
