Lexicon DC-2 power supply
I have a MC-1. It's been fine since. The original psu's in these (DC-1, 2, and MC-1) failed often as you can see in the thread I referenced. The replacement psu is an upgrade. I don't have contact info, I would just google them.

Search search the archives and you'll find a discussion on the topic. You can buy a new psu from lexicon. (was ~$120) but they are also available from Mouser for less $. (The part number is in the thread).Installation isn't hard if you're handy. 
Any one using 2 separate amps using a/b switch to same speakers?
You're likely seeing mono block setups or biamping configuration when you see multiple amps. Every time I thought about swapping in a tube amp with a SS amp using a switch I had visions of blowing something up.

followup . . . I found out that my optical will not work with the MC-1,  but there's an ARC(HDMI) connector which is an HDMI out, so I will get the digital extractor you suggested and try it that way . . . 
Bluetooth Digital output to Lexicon MC-1 Pre-Pro
Thanks, but my primary problem is getting audio for content that originates in the tv (smart tv). For other sources like dvd I can take digital directly from them. I’m still trying to debug my tv digital out, and may get it to work, but I thought ...

Parasound HCA-2200 - Should I repair, or sell?
I would be inclined to repair it. They sell for $600+, sometimes over $700, and that's the original, not the II.    
How to connect a subwoofer into a mono block system
I have a Rel Storm III and run it off my mono blocks with fantastic results. I had to build a harness to connect to the amps which sit on the floor next to each speaker. That harness links to the speakon connector at a junction strip. It integrate... 
Displaying your stereo on Facebook
Well, I don't do it because no one I know would be interested and many I know would roll their eyeballs.That said, If Audiogon didn't exist, Facebook would be a viable platform to share with audiophiles, and Facebook is far more private than Audio... 
Paypal issues through Audiogon
I've had a few sales through audiogon recently and the PayPal link has been fine Afrikaans (no complaints from buyers), but the shipping has not worked at all. I had to use paypal's and fedex's sites for the shipping.  I wasted a lot of time with ...
