Opinions on Mcintosh MA 6900 integrated
Goose... can't say that I have, but are you sure Musical Fidelity is considered 'high end'? 
What happened to list prices?
Put the retail price back please. 
Is McIntosh still a good choice?
Audiobeer, over the years I have also had some real jerk off dealers, who if they had just tried a little could have made some serious cash off me. For my Mac stuff, instead of dealing local, I travel 3 hours. Get feeling better and let us know ho...

Thanks for the advice Stehno and I will check this out. 
Mcintosh MC-352 or FPB 200 for B&W 802
I used to own a Krell FPB300, but now use a Mac MC2000. The Mac IMHO is much more pleasant to listen to. I am not familiar with the MC352, but it's a Mac and I have enjoyed any of their products I have auditioned. I liked the Krell mind you...but ... 
Can Someone Explain This?
Walter...what's in those chocolates you've been eating? 
A Moment Of Silence For Waylon Jennings
I'll second that Garfish. 
Hovland vs McIntosh for Preamp
I was also interested in both of these pre's, but did not have the chance to audition the Hovland. Iwent with the mac C100 and love it. Also the Hovland had no remote and for volume...well I guess I'm just lazy.

I have an EMC-1 with MK11 upgrade and although probably not much of a help, my player seems fine. I think cornfedboy is on to something telling you to give it time to break in. I don't know about the chocolates, but I wouldn't mind some of Tireguy... 
Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now?
Well...here's my 2 cents...I got all excited over SACD and two years ago, or whatever, popped for a SCD-1. O.K., so I overlooked that it took the better part of an evening to cue up a CD, I wanted that SACD sound I had read about.A year later I so... 
Is McIntosh still a good choice?
I honestly don't know how you could go wrong with any of their products. I have been into high end audio for years and have owned several great sounding systems, my last being Krell FPB series. I then ventured into MAC equipment and bought a MC200...

Thanks Ligi for the advice ! 
Does anyone know where to get a Chiro repaired?
Cornfedboy...I am a Chiropractor and I like the response. Better yet, you spelled it correctly !!!

Ligi,I tried different outlets, cheater plugs and no change. Units are in a different room well away from cable TV. Seems to be a problem with noisy power transformers. Thanks to all for your advice. 
Wadia 861 or Oracle CD?
Why spend more to get less? Two companies with questionable stability and poor support. Consider the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 with MK 11 upgrade. Right up there with the best and for less money !
