Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance
Take it from someone with a LOT of experience with this: Buy a new Ultracurve DEQ2496…problem solved. 
Should I repair my amp?
$2,500 for a repair is highway robbery, and NO repair is worth that. I'd put it on eBay and steer clear of ML in the future. Shame on them for quoting you that. 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
I also tried the Tuning Stick, but realized that it only transformed my system 19%. Definitely not 20-25% that I was hoping for and that some others have experienced. Mine went back within just a few days :) 
Where to rack a McIntosh 275 amp
I'd say it needs more than 3-4 inches based on my experience with most tubes, though I admit not having owned a 275…sounds a bit tight for ventilation. Put it on top. 
Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?
The First Watts are sick good (I have the M2)…Man, I would keep it if at all possible. 
overheating sub
Have you just recently set this system up, or is this a recent issue?

Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180
...or the QS Silver 88s w/KT150s (fewer tubes to deal with). 
DAC Being Impacted By Home Power Issue - Help
Dkarmeli,The APC S10 does NOT change the nature of the sound, believe me. I am as obsessed about my sound as anyone on AG, and if the APC changed it, I would not have it. Nightfall, try the APC S10, and if it doesn't solve your problem, I will eat...

And another way to look at this is that you don't see many Sixpacs for sale…Hmm. 
tube preamp with SS amp
Yep, I am listening to the Met right now on my Quicksilver pre (6922 version) paired with a SS amp, and it kicks butt.

APC S10. I have one, and it is AWESOME. Zero noise and it works.
