McIntosh MR7083 vs. Magnum Dynalab MD100 tuner
I agree with above, go to that site. My suggestion would be to purchase a vintage tuner at half the price and better performance. That said, would that Mac work off the remote for the 6900? 
Any opinions on LAT Intl. interconnects ??
They are ok for the money; consider Acoustic Zen WOW's, I am sure others on here can give other good considerations.A friend and I compared them to Nordost Blue Heaven's and found them extreemly close. He sold the BH and purchased some AZ IC's, in...

Upgrade questions: B&W N803 vs ML Ascent ?
B&W does an excellent balance of music/HT. 
Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money?
I added SA stands to N803's and was quite amazed at the improvement they made. As for SA themselves, I dealt with the owner himself on the phone and he spent time asking me about my exact set up and was in no hurry, a real nice guy, and they were ...

Is there a future for Redbook players?
Saihcc, redbook is the term given for standard CD's that we have been using the last 20 years. 
Tuner Gurus: Opinion on Sansui TU-9900 vs. TU-919
No problem, do you own either of these? 
Is this a male hobby or are there females bitten
What a bunch of bull. If you want to 'believe' you just happened and evolved, feel free, but me, we were created, and yes, created with differeces. 
Tuner Gurus: Opinion on Sansui TU-9900 vs. TU-919
I haven't heard either, though they are both very well respected as some of the best; you may find the info at these links helpful.http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/sansui.htmlhttp://www.fmtunerinfo.com/shootouts.html#TU-919 
Is there a future for Redbook players?
20 years and still going. I can't say I agree with you this time Nrchy, I hope it stays strong; at minimum I suspect any new formats to be hybrids.People were in your same position 3+ years ago Match and asking the same question.I will add, it dep... 
Best SS integrated for Pro Ac Response 3.8
I have read a few comments that stated that ProAc and Rowland go well together. I have a Concentra II but I have never heard it with ProAc's.I am extreemly happy with the Concentra II! 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
No brainer, 390 on Cam 2!!! (Though I prefer a 454) 
B&W N803 vs. Revel F30
One note, if your amp doesn't have at least 150 watts, I wouldn't suggest the N803's. I use the N803's and they didn't live up to their reputation until I put 150 watts to them, ironically it is Jeff Rowland as listed above. 
Need comments on the Magnum Dynalab MD-90 FM Tuner
The MD tuners are beautiful tuners and I don't doubt you would enjoy it, but for $1000 I suspect you could buy a vintage tuner for a third the price, or less, and outperform the MD. Furthermore you could have the vintage tuner sent off to be modde...
